Summary
Hi, I keep getting removed from Fortnite matches with this error message: “A problem has occurred. You have been removed from the match due to network latency, your IP address or your machine, because you are using a VPN or because you are cheating.”
I’m not using a VPN, proxy or cheats. My internet connection seems normal, but Fortnite keeps kicking me out of matches.
Has anyone experienced this problem before? Is there a fix for it?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
