I am having a problem with Fortnite where I get kicked out of every match after the game starts.
The error I receive is:
errors.com.epicgames.common.processing
Fortnite says that I was removed from the match because of network latency, my IP address, my machine, a VPN/proxy, or cheating. However, I am not using a VPN or proxy.
My Internet connection appears to be working normally. I tested my connection and got 0% packet loss, with around 15 ms ping to 8.8.8.8. My connection to my router is also stable.
I also:
Reset the DNS cache.
Reset Winsock.
Verified Fortnite’s game files through Epic Games Launcher.
Checked Windows proxy settings.
Checked my network adapters and found no VPN adapter.
Tested Fortnite using my phone’s mobile hotspot instead of my home Wi-Fi.
The exact same error still happens when using the phone’s connection, so it doesn’t seem to be caused by my home Wi-Fi or router.
The game launches normally, but once I enter a match, I am eventually kicked out of the game with the same error.
I would really appreciate any help or information about this issue, because Fortnite is currently unplayable for me.
I keep getting this same error when trying to enter a match on the OG map. Battle Royale works. Started after the last update. Did a complete uninstall and reinstall, still the same problem.
i get the same thing but it says im using a vpn even after i factory reset my pc i cant join any games i have only installed discord and fortnite idk whats going on it was fine until like 2 weeks ago
It has also been happening to my primary account ever since September 5, 2026, when the secondary account I was using for testing my maps was banned for “exploiting” (then it changed to “cheating”, then back to “exploiting”). But I have never cheated in Fortnite.
I’m a Fortnite Developer, I spent 2,5 years of my life learning Epic’s engine and programming language to be able to create better maps over time for players of Fortnite to enjoy. I received very positive feedback on my latest map, which took me a few months to create. And now I can’t continue working because some automatic detection system is kicking me out from all lobbies including Edit Sessions, which are essential for testing maps created in UEFN.
I’ve already reached out to Epic on X several times for help, but I haven’t received any response yet. I tried Player Support, but I received only a boilerplate response that it’s not an error. Please, because you have the same issue, can you upvote my thread about it? It needs to have at least 3 upvotes for the bot to take it into consideration for a feedback from Epic: Disconnecting from all sessions (including Edit Sessions) after secondary account for testing was banned
