Fortnite: Stuck on connecting screen and not loading fix

How to fix Fortnite stuck on connecting screen error

The Fortnite stuck on connecting screen error is due to Epic’s servers going offline. Considering the battle royale title is a completely multiplayer affair, this renders it unplayable. As such, it’s not possible for players to bring those servers back online and get Fortnite playable again.

However, while not a direct “fix,” the following steps will ensure you can hop into the game as soon as possible:

  1. Wait for the servers to go online. Fortnite is down currently, which means that the game isn’t accessible.
  2. Check the server status. The Fortnite Status Twitter account will let you know when the server problems have been fixed.
  3. Restart the game. Close the application on PC or shut the game down on console then restart once the servers are back online.

By following the above steps, you’ll be able to jump back into Fortnite as soon as it’s brought back online. Epic Games hasn’t yet revealed when it expects the current server issues to be resolved, though it has acknowledged that it’s aware of the problems.

“We are investigating login, matchmaking and other issues,” the publisher tweeted today. “We will update you when the issues are resolved.”

While players are sure to be disappointed, it’s inevitable that online games will eventually face problems — even ones as massive as Fortnite. Still, it typically doesn’t take long for Epic to rectify such problems, so players should expect to be able to jump back into the battle royale game sooner rather than later.
