Restart Fortnite

While you are checking the server status of Fornite you should be able to restart the game in the background. Any game can suffer from a bad launch when opening it and can throw any sort of error your way. Just a quick restart may fix your issue of the game not loading and is a simple troubleshooting step to always do.

Restart Your Router or Console/PC
