How to fix error code 91 in Fortnite

1) Check Fortnite’s Socials

Checking Fortnite’s social media will save you the effort of taking your PC apart. So, you may as well hit up Fortnite’s Twitter account to see if anyone else has the same issue. If everyone is having problems, odds are it’s the servers themselves.

Otherwise, test out the solutions below.

2) Check your in-game settings

It’s definitely worth checking your settings in Fortnite as well. The issue could be coming from the host servers.

To check if you’re the problem, do this:

  • Click the avatar icon in the top left corner of your screen when at the main menu
  • Locate your Online Status and ensure it says you’re up and running
  • Make sure your Party Joinability tab says Friends
  • The next step is to head to Privacy and change your Matchmaking Region to Public.

3) Restart your game/PC/Internet

This is the instant fix for most issues in gaming. If you’ve restarted your game, odds are you’ll give it the push it needs to bring itself back to life. The same goes for your PC. Restarting your PC helps get everything back in order.

Make sure your connection is solid by checking the lights on your router or restarting your connection on your PlayStation or Xbox console via Network Settings.
