Fortnite is known for drawing a large player base, but despite the servers being back online for Chapter 5 Season 1, there are reports of excessively long queues lasting over an hour. Matchmaking issues, complaints about the Shuffle Loadout feature not working, and UI-related problems have also surfaced.
Following the recent cataclysmic live event dubbed The Big Bang, Fortnite is now entering Chapter 5 Season 1, with the servers currently down but expected to be back up soon. Anticipation is high for new weapons and a fresh island.
If you’re looking to hop back into the game, the servers are expected to be back up sometime between 4 AM PT and 7 AM ET. However, the exact launch time is subject to change. Despite Epic aiming for the earliest end of that window, delays might occur. It’s also typical for new seasons and chapters to come with queues due to the massive number of players trying to log in at once.
Fortnite Chapter 5 is expected to mark a new beginning for the game, with new game modes such as Lego Fortnite, Rocket Racing, and Fortnite Festival. As players eagerly wait for the servers to be back up, it’s clear that Chapter 5 Season 1 is stirring up a lot of excitement within the Fortnite community.
