How To Fix Fortnite Keeps Crashing Error? [7 Ways]

Fortnite is a very famous and really good cross-platform multiplayer game. It is playable on a pc, a console, or even with your phone or tab. Earlier it was available only on the IOS platform however now it’s available on android also. Its owner’s epic games had made it free on all platforms including the PS4. However, if you need a blue-ray disk for playing instead of downloading it directly from the store on the PS4 it might cost you around 1000 as per current rates.

The only problem with Fortnite is its compatibility and graphic requirements that cannot be met with low budget devices. Still, on some high-powered devices, Fortnite keeps crashing repeatedly. It might not be because of the issue of power however it might be because of various other reasons.

Each of those problems has its own way of solving and if not done properly then your game might just not work no matter how many times you keep restarting your system or reinstalling your game.

How To Fix Fortnite Keeps Crashing Error?

Depending on the pc on which you are playing there might be more than one ways to stop it from crashing a few of them are:

1. Lower the Graphics Settings

If you are playing on a pc that is not powerful enough then playing on high settings might be the reason that your game keeps crashing. For playing it on high or epic settings you are going to need a graphics driver of 4GB at least. Sometimes lower frames might be an indication before the game crashes.

2. Run Fortnite as an Administrator

Right-click on the Fortnite folder and select properties. Select the Security tab and edit. Select your account check if you have full control of the bottom window. Select advanced in the original window.

So the safest and the most convenient way of updating the app is from the epic games store itself. Playing on the older version of an online game like Fortnite not only stops you from playing with the players having new versions but also affects your game files. If those game files are compromised you might have to reinstall the game to solve this problem.

4. Change the Screen Mode in Which You Are Playing Fortnite

Screen mode and resolution are assigned to a game by default depending upon your system. Changing the resolution just so that the game would look better might cause the game to crash every time you launch it.

Also, the screen settings are assigned as full screen windowed or borderless. It might also be something else on your pc. Changing this also causes frame stutter, lag, and the game crash.

4. Double click on the TdrLevel to modify it.
5. Set the value data to 0 (Zero).

6. Check For Corrupt or Missing Files

If the files are corrupt or missing then the game might fail to launch or might also crash a lot of times in between the games. A missing DLL file can cause the launch to fail or disappear. Files have their separate codec. If the file is typed or downloaded with a wrong coded it will show an error.
