The excitement of Fortnite’s Save The World (STW) can sometimes be frustrated by unforeseen technical issues, as new user Large-Gap2633 discovered when their game kept crashing during the tutorial. Though troubleshooting steps were applied, such as verifying game files and updating the graphics card, the frustrating crash re-appeared when placing a trap against a wooden base.
Summary
- Several users have experienced similar issues.
- Overclocking on the user’s computer could be a possible cause.
- Incompatible specs and OS may be a factor.
- A known issue on Epic’s Trello board.
User Suggestions for Resolution
One Fortnite player, CallMeSkyCraft, had a similar experience and suggested that any overclocks on the GPU, CPU and RAM should be disabled, and additionally, background apps should be turned off as a possible solution. A curious _echoO recommended a check on the PC specs.
Is the Error on the User’s End?
The conversation took a different turn when NorthzYT mentioned that an increase in STW crashes, is a known issue on Epic’s Trello board, suggesting the blame might not lie on the user’s laptop. Now, that’s deep. Who’d have thought our friendly Fortnite could turn into a digital whodunit?
Technical Deep Dive
Fortnite reviewer HypedSoul123 postulated the user’s PC might not meet the requirements to run STW, given the higher specs needed compared to the Battle Royale mode. According to them, changing to DX11/12 or performance mode might help, as well reinstalling the game, updating the drivers, or even the Operating System. They added a note for Linux users regarding issues with the anti-cheat system crashing the game after a short while. So if you’re playing Fortnite on your cousin’s vintage Linux PC from the nineties, it’s time to rent some modern hardware!
All these suggestions bring light to different potential resolution paths; from self-diagnosis to the realization that many battles are fought and won in the unseen world of game developers. Whether you’re new to Fortnite STW like Large-Gap2633 or a veteran player, remember the game is about problem-solving. If you’re crashing out, don’t despair – the Fortnite community’s here to help.
