How to fix “Waiting In Queue” Error in Fortnite

The game developers have acknowledged the long queue times and problems regarding the servers on their Twitter page.

Unfortunately, there is not much the players can do to get in to a match. Currently, the “Waiting In Queue” error is not because of the number of players logging-in. It’s a bug discovered before the 22.10 update. It’s best to wait for Epic Games to fix the error before trying to join any matches.

According to the Fortnite Status page on Twitter, the game will be back to normal after the launch of the 22.10 update on 4 October. We recommend keeping track of the situation using the link mentioned above. It will post updates as soon as the game is up and running again. You can also follow the game’s official status page on the Epic Games’ website. This will give you all the information you need about the servers in the game.
