When the player tries to Verify files, it makes them reinstall 70 GB of files and afterwards the issue still persists. ---

> [@OniZach](#): > > 5196-0233-5799 hi @OniZach , Island 5196-0233-5799 works on Samsung Android very well, Nintendo Switch 1 works, Xbox One x works. Android Phone over 30 minutes, tried Teleports to different team games all over, killed many times still in games. Therefore its a PC problem. My best guess is the anti virus checker is seeing part of the Fortnite games and isolating them as virus parts, or there is a virus on PC and its not been detected. The Easy Anti cheat detector is detecting corruption and throwing them out. Consoles are not affected. During the game on console a big black blank screen comes up and then the games restarts. Oh yes tested on 36.30 so its not version dependant ---

I would’ve also assumed it would be their anti-virus or something else on their PC causing it but they can play any other creative island just fine without issue, it’s **only** Rocket Wars. I’ve asked one of the players if they have any third-party anti virus software installed and they do not, just Windows Defender, but to be sure I’m having them do a Full Scan, then if no results, turn it off and seeing if the issue persists (they need to reinstall Fortnite again first which may take a bit). Will reply here with results. ---

Hi @OniZach , Just opened a Rocket Racing Epic Island and now my PC/laptop is running low on memory space, the reason is reduced Virtual Memory, now Rocket Racing Epic Islands get a problem running low on virtual memory. Now put the Page file back to 32GB and working smoothly again To add this, see the post [How to add 32GB virtual Memory page file](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/cant-create-c-project-or-use-c/238169/2) Before re-installing Fortnite Under Windows 11, there was a problem where when the disk became full, the disk structure could have errors remaining. This can be fixed by opening the Windows command shell,l right-clicking and running as administrator ```auto C:> chkdsk /f/r C: ``` Now restart the PC, and the disk is scanned for errors and fixes any errors. This applies to ALL Windows versions. ---
