Players attempting to access the Epic Games Store and its popular title, Fortnite, are encountering widespread login issues and server outages. Downdetector data indicates a surge in reported problems, with thousands of users experiencing difficulties. This disruption comes at a particularly inconvenient time, as Fortnite’s servers were scheduled for downtime to prepare for the launch of the highly anticipated ‘Fortnite x The Simpsons’ crossover event.
Frustration is mounting among the gaming community, with many taking to social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter) to voice their complaints. Users are reporting being unable to log into their Epic Games accounts, with error messages such as ‘An unknown error occurred performing that action. Please try again.’ appearing. One user expressed extreme dissatisfaction, stating they were ‘getting real sick’ of the launcher’s performance.
The issues range from being completely logged out of accounts to being unable to complete basic actions like installing games. This widespread outage has significantly impacted the player experience, especially with the highly anticipated crossover event with The Simpsons on the horizon.
