Player stuck in CONNECTING.. when trying to rejoin a Private Playtest match (39.11) - General / Issues and Bug Reporting - Epic Developer Community Forums

Simply PC Fortnite 39.11 crashes on many PCs running Windows 11.

Many Devs have proved its not our hardware/PC its Fortnite servers.

On console like Nintendo Switch 1 (NS1) you open any creator island with no one playing the game runs.

You dont need to play game

On the NS1 press the plus (+) top right, then RB to the last icon.

Select “leave to Lobby” select Yes.

Island closes return to lobby. Check the game still has no users

Select the game again Click play

You will see

Connecting for 10 minutes and will time out with a “Network Error” and a server error message beneath saying could not connect to server.

The only way found was to restart NS1, and open Fortnite 39.11

If you stop Fortnite and restart this wont work still get the error.

Some indie devs say this will work ok if more than two people are still in the game.

UEFN will live launch a project to NS1 , Android phone, Xbox One

but will crash on PC!

If your Privacy is set to Private you can re-join, but obviously you cannot see other players!

This problem affects on island working properly in 39. 10 and earlier
