Experts have stated that one of the major causes of this issue is corrupted game files. The Epic Games Launcher is equipped with a search and restore tool to scan your PC for corrupted game files and restore the corrupted ones. Here are the steps for what you need to do.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. Open the Epic game launcher and click on the Library icon.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2.

It requires the previous version, DirectX 11, to function properly. Many gamers have found success by changing Fortnite&#8217;s properties to launch with DirectX 11, allowing the game to start without problems. To do this, follow the steps outlined below.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1.
