Fortnite Error Code 0, explained and how to fix

Although Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 5 OG is here, many players are encountering the infamous Error Code 0 as soon as they launch the game. If you're also facing this issue, I've got some fixes to help you resolve this troublesome Fortnite error.

What is Fortnite Error Code 0

The most common cause of Fortnite Error Code 0 is an issue with the Easy Anti-Cheat application. This program is used by Fortnite and many other online games to stop cheaters and hackers. The anti-cheat applications monitor any changes to the game's files or memory that are not allowed.

The Easy Anti-Cheat program may not start correctly, or may not have the right permissions to work properly. To play Fortnite, you need to have Easy Anti-Cheat running properly on your system. If it is not working correctly, Error Code 0 will appear, and the game will not launch.

There are various solutions for Fortnite Error Code 0. Let’s explore them one by one and get back to the action:

• Verify the game files: Use the Epic Games Launcher to verify the integrity of the game files. This process will check for any corrupt Fortnite files and replace them if necessary.
• Reinstall Easy Anti-Cheat: If the issue persists, try uninstalling and reinstalling Easy Anti-Cheat by following the instructions on their website.
• Add Easy Anti-Cheat to your antivirus exception list: Make sure that the Easy Anti-Cheat installation folder is added to the exception list, so the antivirus isn't blocking it.
