hi @Mr_fish333onpc ,
Please note know nothing about PlayStation Fortnite, but do know how to find support
overview
This is probably talking about PS5
To resolve potential issues in Fortnite on PlayStation, like stuck on “checking for updates” or crashes, clearing the console’s cache and rebuilding the database can be helpful. This process involves booting the console into Safe Mode, selecting the appropriate option, and following the prompts. Clearing the cache deletes temporary files, potentially resolving performance issues, while rebuilding the database reorganizes the system’s content.
Steps to clear cache and rebuild database on PS5:
- Turn off the PS5 completely: Do not put it into Rest Mode.
- Enter Safe Mode: Press and hold the power button until you hear two beeps, indicating the system has entered Safe Mode.
- Connect a controller: Use the USB cable to connect the DualSense controller to the console.
- Select “Clear Cache and Rebuild Database”: Navigate to this option using the controller and follow the on-screen instructions.
- Choose “Clear System Software Cache”: This option will delete temporary files associated with the system software.
- Restart the console: The PS5 will restart automatically after the process is complete.
Important notes:
Clearing the cache and rebuilding the database will not delete your game data, progress, or saved files.
It’s always a good idea to back up your game data before performing any major system maintenance.
Ensure your PS5 system software and Fortnite are updated to the latest versions.
Ensure your PS5 is in a well-ventilated area and not dusty, as overheating can also cause issues.
If problems persist, contact PlayStation Support or Epic Games support for further assistance.
=====================================
PS 4
To clear the Fortnite cache on a PS4, you need to clear the console’s system cache, as there’s no specific option to clear the cache for individual games like Fortnite. This is done by turning off the PlayStation 4 completely, unplugging it from the power source for a short period, and then plugging it back in and turning it back on.
Here’s how to clear the PS4 system cache:
- Turn off the PS4: Go to the Power option in the Quick Menu or hold down the power button until you hear a beep, then select “Turn Off PS4”.
- Unplug the power cord: Wait for the light on the console to stop blinking, then unplug the power cord from the back of the console.
- Wait: Leave the console unplugged for 1-2 minutes.
- Plug it back in: Plug the power cord back into the console.
- Turn on the PS4: Start the console as usual.
This process effectively clears the system cache, which may help resolve various issues with Fortnite or other games.
These are fairly old articles, but on most console Nintendo Xbox One X, PlayStation they seem to works.
For Xbox One you MUST delete the original at each new Version the Microsoft Xbox Pass does not get the new version until 48 hours after Epic Release. This means that you could be running 36.00 and PS4 and Xbox One are still running 35.*.
Nintendo version will run with older versions the upgrade is NOT enforced!.
Consoles work best by loading new versions of Fortnite
This place is littered with threads whose final resolution is loading a new version.
Yes this blows your broadband allowance but just got to a coffee bar with new Wi-Fi 6 access and the new version will load faster than at home 175MB/second and 56mb/second.
Take a 12volt car battery to mains convertor, in shopping bag, with small car battery if there are not any mains sockets!
