Fortnite has millions of players at any point. That means its servers have to function like clockwork for everything to run smoothly. If not, you can get errors that prevent you from logging in, crash your game, and generally make your gaming experience not that great. Moreover, it takes a good, stable internet connection on your side for everything to function properly. One of those errors in Fortnite is the Matchmaking Error #1 so let’s see what that is all about and how to fix it.
How to Fix Matchmaking Error #1 in Fortnite
There are several steps you can take to fix Matchmaking Error #1 in Fortnite. Before you do anything, maybe some servers are down so better check the official Epic Games server status or Fortnite Status. If nothing is wrong with the servers, try these workarounds.
- Restart the game. You would be amazed by the amount of problems a simple restart can solve.
- Try changing your Matchmaking Region. To do this:
- Go to Menu and select Settings.
- Select the icon that looks like a gear and change your Region.
- If using a VPN, disable it and see if that fixes the problem.
- Check your date and time settings. If these are not accurate, it can cause a communication problem with the server.
- Verify the integrity of the game files. From your Epic Games Launcher click on the “Library” tab, and find ”Fortnite”. Open its dropdown menu by clicking on the “…” next to the game’s title or right-clicking on the game icon. Select “Manage” and look for an option that says “Verify Files”, click on “Verify” and that should do it. It may take a few minutes.
- Reinstall the game.
If none of these solutions worked, then you can either wait it out or send a Ticket to Epic Support.
