You can download 'Fortnite' on a PC through the Epic Games Launcher, which you can download and access through Epic Games' website. The Epic Games Launcher lets you download and install every title made by Epic Games, including all three versions of 'Fortnite.'. Playing Fortnite when the Epic Games Launcher is down is something that a number of people are worrying about. Considering how popular the game is, when Epic Games is down, a whole lot of people are stuck trying to start Fortnite. Fortunately, there is a way to start and play Fortnite without the Epic Launcher. That's exactly what we'll be.

Once you have an account, you'll proceed to download 'Fortnite' through the Epic Games Launcher: 1. In a web browser, go to the 'Fortnite' landing page on Epic Games' website. This means running a scan for malware, cleaning your hard drive using 1 cleanmgr and 2 sfc /scannow, 3 uninstalling programs that you no longer need, checking for Autostart programs (using 4 msconfig) and enabling Windows' 5 Automatic Update. Always remember to perform periodic backups, or at least to set restore points. Since this launcher is your gateway to playing games like Fortnite, this can be really problematic. The problem is, as the name suggests, that your launcher won't open. In some cases, users aren't seeing anything whereas some users are seeing the launcher launch for a short amount of time and then it goes back to its start screen.

Epic Games makes 'Fortnite' — one of the most popular multiplayer games in the world. There are hundreds of other multiplayer titles on the Epic Games store, meaning they're best played with others.

Epic Games lets you add other users to a Friends List, which lets you message them, invite them to games, and quickly squad up when you're ready to play.

You can find friends by searching for their Epic Games display name or the email address linked to their account. You can also connect your Facebook or Steam profile to find out which of your friends there also have a connected Epic Games account.
