A Fortnite event is currently taking place, which is currently bringing the servers to their knees - so Fortnite is currently down. The Epic Games Launcher is also currently unusable - you cannot log in. 

Article posted at 20:03 pm: Again and again certain have Services with serverprotrouble to fight, especially when there is a lot of server load. This is currently available at Fortnite due to a special event and so Fortnite itself is currently down anyway and the Epic Games Launcher. today namely ends the first chapter of Fortnite and at 20 p.m. they would like to end this with a special event. Interested parties can no longer participate - the registration servers are completely down.

Fortnite down: what to do?

At the moment, there is nothing more you can do than wait and see. On the Epic Games status page you won't find really helpful information - there the service is stated as online and functioning. If you can't play, you can follow up on Twitch Fortnite streams search and watch there. In any case, do not restart your game, then you will be stuck in the login window of the Epic Game Launcher. Then you won't get into the game at all today.

Now there is an update from the status page of Epic Games. There one speaks of a currently “partially degraded service” and “anomaly detected”. Belongs to the event too - good move, Fortnite!

Fortnite down: All updates

Update at 22:11 p.m.: Fortnite is currently available again - but you can only look at the black hole matching the final event.

Update at 21:43 p.m .: The Epic Games Client and Epic Store are running again - Fortnite is still down.

Update at 21:32 p.m.: Even an hour later, both the Epic Store and Fortnite themselves are not accessible.

Update at 20:41 p.m .: Supplemented with information from the Epic Games status page.

Update at 20:25 p.m .: Article added with information.

Update at 20:13 p.m.: That Proproblem persists.
