Additional Notes

Was working now broken.
Possible fixes

  1. Delete Nintendo FN and reload 79 GB completely. I do not want to do this as it takes three hours.
    There is no guarantee of success done Verify of installation and its good.

Looks like something is broken for NS in update to33.20 22jan25

update its the sleep timer is set never there are NO crashes on THE NS

pressing ok after

Fortnite enters sleep mode and then goes back to the lobby
click play again and this standard template crashes again
repeatable

six hours later restart power NS and cannot reproduce intermittently

Thank you @Jimbohalo10 - escalating.

We’re struggling to repro this here, @Jimbohalo10 - is it still happening?

hi @Flak ,
reloaded 33.20 and it seems to work, the clue is Fortnite sleep was activated and network drivers had disconnected and the servers had moved on.

these minor updates seem to cause problems. r
Reloading from empty has cured the problem as before for consoles

@Flak
update its the sleep timer is set never there are NO crashes on THE NS

There is the ability to disconnect the server on NS by forcing the hardware to suspend NS, but with the Fortnite Sleep Timer set NEVER. The recovery of network connection is instant.

You rock, @Jimbohalo10, thank you!
