'Fortnite' Party Issues Reported, Epic Games Responds

3.7
With the newest patch now live on Fortnite across all platforms, some players are reporting having issues with the game's party system. Since the primary charm of the game is its online play, this poses as a problem for those looking to squad up.



Epic Games took to their Twitter to let players know they are actively workig on it, "we have identified the cause of party issues and we are now working on a fix."

Others are reporting similar issues but with the Playground options that went live today in the deployed patch.

There is also a checklist available that shows which parts of the server are up and running, and what areas are negatively affected. At the time this article was written, almost everything was back to being "operational":

  • Website and Forums Operational
  • Game Services Operational
  • Login Operational
  • Parties, Friends, and Messaging Partial Outage
  • Voice Chat Operational
  • Matchmaking Operational
  • Stats and Leaderboards Operational
  • Store Operational


If you're still experiencing any issues getting into the game, please contact Epic Games over on their website here to issue a ticket. For now, everything seems to be back to working order with the exception of a few straggler cases reporting disconnection.

"Don't get cold feet! Freeze your foes and slide around for a quick getaway," boasts Epic Games in their latest patch notes post. As for what the new item brings to the table, you can see for yourself below:

For me fortnite is getting dead boring. There might be a time I will start playing again

Have only had a few hiccups that were fixed easily but I'm glad they are addressing it. Sad thing is, it's common in most games now tbh

I may not play fortnite as much anymore, but I respect epic for the quickness they have in finding and dealing with issues, some companies need to learn this aspect so they can keep everyone happy.
