Fortnite has just finished its latest live event – but many players were left unable to log-in and play.
30 minutes before Fortnite’s “The Device” story event was due to kick off, developer Epic Games tweeted to say the game’s servers were now full, and players would instead have to view the event via streams on Twitch or YouTube.
Epic had warned players that today’s event might fill server capacity – though it has also said this in the past without the game maxing its capacity in this way. Epic had also told players to be online half an hour before the event began – so at 6.30pm UK time. Well, by 6.30pm UK time, fans were already reporting the game had effectively shut them out.
