Like I mentioned earlier, the bug is unpredictable. Right now, as I’m typing this, it’s not getting stuck on the “Preparing” screen, which has happened before. The moment it stops working again, I will send my logs for UEFN and FortniteGame. Based on previous occurrences, it usually takes no more than an hour or so before the issue returns. It’s quite strange.
