How would you feel if I told you to find a needle that is lost in a desert?
See, there can be numerous reasons why you’ve got the option to not enjoy the game.
Luckily, I have rounded up the fixes in this article.
So, why should you delay?
Lets have a look.
Why Fortnite is Not Loading on Your PC?
It could be that Fortnites servers are down or your internet connection is facing some issues.
As it is a multiplayer game, solid internet connectivity is mandatory.
Now Fortnites game client itself can cause some problems.
This can stop the game from starting in some cases.
So thats something to keep in mind.
Finally, outdated Graphics Drivers can also cause startup problems for Fortnite.
Updates contain improvements in performance from games.
Apart from that, updating the graphics drivers and reinstalling the game can fix the stuck-on-loading screen problem.
Its not just it; several methods can work for anyone who plays Fortnite; you never know.
This is due to compatibility between a large number of hardware devices and operating systems.
Otherwise, Fortnite will not be able to run.
To double-check youre on the safe side, compare your hardware with the game requirements.
Restart Fortnite & Your PC
The most common and easiest fix is a system restart.
Restarting the game or your PC helps the program to start operating from a default state.
So, try restarting Fortnite itself.
If it doesnt help, reboot your PC, and Fortnite shouldnt be stuck at the loading screen anymore.
Enable Microsoft Net Framework 3.5
Most games require the .net framework 3.5 to even launch.
So, find out if your box is missing this, and install it.
On Windows 7, it came preinstalled.
But from Windows 8 and up, it was not installed by default.
After a successful process, venture to re-launch the Epic games launcher and open Fortnite.
Move on to the next fix if theres no positive response.
So you should repair them to shove aside the possibility.
It should work this time.
Verify Fortnite Game Files Integrity
Verify Fortnite game files from the Epic Launcher to ensure intact game files.
If any corrupted or broken files are found, the launcher will re-download and fix them.
Even if thegame keeps crashing, integrity check will work it out as magic.
Switch to DirectX 11
Running the game on DX12 API may glitch out for no reason.
In such circumstances, switch to DX11 to play Fortnite.
If you want to go back to theDX12 API, uncheck the box.
7. patch your Graphics Drivers
GPU manufacturers roll out updates regularly to fix glitches and improve performance.
check that to keep yourgraphics drivers up to date.
Note:I recommend keeping the drivers updated all the time.
But remember to uninstall the old graphics driver before installing the new one.
Run in Compatibility Mode
Incompatible Windows mode can make a program not respond at all.
You choose it, and nothing happens nada, zip!
And Fortnite is no exception.
So run this game in compatibility mode to avoid this scenario.
reset your PC if necessary.
So, you could try running the game as an administrator, which is a temporary solution.
Or it’s possible for you to permanently change the access control for Fortnite.
But let me guide you through.
Here are the steps to follow:
Relaunch the game to see if your issue resolves.
If not, dont worry!
I have some more workarounds up my sleeve.
However, in some cases, it might stop Fortnite from loading correctly.
It usually happens because of a glitch in the EasyAntiCheat or a broken service for unknown reasons.
Repairing the service can fix the game loading issue in Fortnite.
But Epic constantly works on developing and removing glitches in integrating EasyAntiCheat with Fortnite.
Close Background Applications
Some applications keep running even after you exit the window.
Its because they are set to minimize to the system tray on exit.
Thebackground appsprevent other applications from initiating.
Games also suffer from this phenomenon.
So check and close if any tool is running in the background.
PressCtrl+Shift+Escto pop fire up Task Manager.
Right-choose the program that is running and hitEnd task.
Go back to Epic Launcher and start Fortnite after doing this.
Install/Move Fortnite to Your SSD
Nowadays, apps and games are optimized for faster storage access.
These apps and games have a hard time loading from an old-schoolmechanical hard drive compared to a modern SSD.
Or worse, it freezes and obstructs you from returning to the home screen to restart the game.
It does solve the problem in many cases.
Or it could be from your end, too.
So, you oughta check Epics server status as well as your connection connection.
To check the Fortnite game server condition, visitEpic Games Support Website.
You will see Fortnite as the first option on the page.
tap on it to expand.
Fortnite services with their corresponding online status will be visible right away.
If you see some services are down, wait for some time.
Epic will fix the issue and get the servers back online.
As a bonus, if you cant join the server, it will resolve that issue.
If, however, everything is normal on Epics end, you should check your online grid status.
Restart the router to fix any temporary issue.
For lingering problems, contact your ISP.
Packet loss issues can happen due to data exchange failure from the clients end to the Fortnite game server.
It causes the infamous game-loading error.
you’re able to resolve it with a simple command added to the epic launcher.
Cant get into the game for incorrect matchmaking region!
I know it sounds comical.
But Ive experienced it several times.
Imagine you are from the States and trying to find a game in Asia.
It might cause the game to get stuck on the loading screen.
So change the region to auto to find a match depending on your location.
Heres the process to set the matchmaking region to auto:
Start a game.
In a few moments, youll be in the match.
Even onAndroidphones, this issue is well-pronounced.
To shake off this error, check for the latest game updates on the corresponding stores of each platform.
Once the developers roll out a new update or a patch, download it immediately.
ensure you have enough storage on your rig.
If updates dont fix the problem, reinstall the game.
This will ensure every file is in fine fettle and in harmony with the latest update.
But before that, uninstall the previous version completely.
