Recently, Tech Times reported that the "Fortnite" matchmaking was also down because Epic Games was preparing for Version 19.01. Now, another issue arose.

"Fortnite is currently unavailable and players are unable to log in while we investigate an issue. We'll provide more info when we have a solution to bring services back online," said FortniteStatus via its official Twitter post.

Despite the massive outage that "Fortnite" players are suffering from, some of them were still able to be optimistic. One of the gamers that commented on the latest tweet of FortniteStatus jokingly said that he wants to have the popular Renegade Raider as compensation.

He added that 100,000 V-Bucks would also be great. But, some of them are definitely disappointed. Another player said in the comment section that he can't access his "Fortnite" account.

According to The Verge's latest report, Epic Games still hasn't fixed the server outage. Right now, the giant game publisher is asking for your patience until they resolve the issue.

But, the title developer did not provide a time frame for the ongoing fix. If you are one of the affected gamers, the best thing you can do right now is to wait for Epic Games' further announcements.

Problems Experienced by Gamers

"Fortnite" players shared their negative experiences with the game. Some of them said that they can't open their "Fortnite" accounts since they don't have permission to play.

Meanwhile, others are not able to connect to the servers after logging in. The most annoying one is the issue with the Epic Games launcher. Many gamers said that they can't properly open this service.

In other news, "Fortnite" moved to Unreal Engine 5, which can further enhance the game's visual effects.
