Fortnite, the popular Battle Royale game, reportedly crashed during the live event. Several people complained about the problem on social media. The accident occurred during the Zero Hour event on November 29. At the time of writing, Downdetector noted that more than 2,500 people were experiencing issues.
According to Downdetector, 67% of people have faced server connection issues. The outage map indicates that areas like New York and Los Angeles were affected. Many have commented on the Downdetector page itself.
One person remarked: “Anyone who missed the event, try watching it on YouTube.” Another added: “The game crashed lmfaooo.”
Many also expressed their frustration on social media. “Fortnite crash #fortnite #CRASH #fortnitecrash server down,” one person remarked on X, sharing a visual of their screen.
Another asked: “Who else here had their game crash during the Fortnite event? Yet another remarked: “Most of us experienced the live event crash at the same time. What is happening?!”
One person described the issue in detail saying, “Brother, is this only happening to me or to you guys? Because in the middle of the event the screen went black and there was a pause. After that I went out and came back in. The event started again and the same thing happened.! Ali’s event was ruined. Is there a replay?”
It is not yet clear what went wrong. Fortnite Status told players “PSA: If you are experiencing loading issues in the Zero Hour live event, please restart your Fortnite client and re-queue.”
Fortnite: How to fix black screen issue?
The black screen issue in Fortnite can be fixed by checking the game drivers or going to Epic Games to check the Fortnite files. You have to head to the Epic Games library and click on the three dots next to Fortnite, then head to manage, then check out.
However, this issue appears to be on Fortnite’s side, so players will have to wait for it to be resolved. The Zero Hour event was billed as an event where “legends come together to save reality from the dark presence,” according to Epic Games.
Fortnite experienced a massive server outage earlier this month during the Simpsons event. Epic Games also had issues that day.
