March 2023 · 4 minute read

With any big game that requires players to be fully connected online, like Fortnite, there can be a lot of things that go wrong. There are several error codes that can pop up, and each one means something different. We'll go over what each code means and how to troubleshoot the issue without contacting a help service.

Fortnite Connectivity Error Codes

errors.com.epicgames.common.server_error

This is a general connection issue that can be either on the player's internet connection or a server issue.

Error 91

This error comes up from disconnection or inability to join a party. If it's a disconnection issue, players will need to verify the game files in the launcher's settings. Otherwise, players can switch their party status to private to join a party.

Error 93

Like Error 91, this error comes up from disconnection or inability to join a party. For this error, there is no definitive cause. There are a few solutions that seem to work for many people:

AS-3

No connection at all. Treat this exactly the same as the first error.

IS-0005

This error is from not being able to connect to the Epic Games launcher. In this situation, players should check the status of the Epic Games server. Alternatively, this can be an issue with a VPN, proxy servers, or firewalls. Make sure all of these are disabled when playing.

LS-0005

This error is due to an issue with the sever and a patch. More than likely, this means that either the Epic Games server is down, or that the player's internet is too slow or disconnected.

LS-0015

This error is usually due to an issue with the player's internet. Player's should first check whether the console or PC is connected to the internet. Then check the internet service status to ensure the service isn't down. Finally, test the internet speed. If the speed is slow or being interrupted, try to use a wire connection to the console or PC.

Fortnite Launcher Errors & Error Codes

White Screen Epic Games Launcher

If players have their launcher screen never load in, this means that the web cache is full. Players can empty the cache from C:\User\PC-Name\AppData\Local\EpicGamesLauncher\Saved.

Error 0

Instead of launching Fortnite, this error will ask the player to restart the client. Players receiving this error will need to verify the game files in the launcher's settings or run a command prompt as an administrator. The command prompt is "sfc/scannow."

Error 500

Error 500 happens when the game is unable to launch. This is one of the sad bugs that cannot be fixed on the player's end. Simply report the issue to ensure that Epic Games can fix it on their end.

Error 30005

This error keeps players from launching the game due to a bug with the software that is meant to keep players from cheating. To solve this issue, players will need to enter into the program files, and further into the EasyAntiCheat section. Then delete the .sys file inside.

Miscellanious Fortnite Error Codes

bad_module_info has stopped working

This error likely means that some software is either out of date or damaged. Players can verify their game files or change their full-screen settings to make the game easier to run. However, if this doesn't solve the issue, players may need to update their graphic card drivers or windows.

CE-34878-0

This error causes the PS4 to crash. Players will either need to update their PS4 or restart it.

CE-40852-9

This error keeps the PS4 from launching the game. To fix this, players should double-check their internet connection and verify that their IP is correct.

DP-6

This error comes from players not being able to download on PC. Players can fix this by running the Epic Games Launcher as an administrator.

IS-BV04

This error shows up from a failure to verify the build. To solve this go into the hard drive's Properties section. Then make sure that the Epic Games files are under the type called NTFS. If they are labeled FAT32, they'll need to be converted over to NTFS.

SU-PQR1603

This is a self-update error. Players can fix this by going into the Properties section of the Epic Games launcher and adding "-SkipBuildPatchPrereq" to the end of the Target tab.
