Thousands of Fortnite players were left frustrated when the game crashed during the highly anticipated Zero Hour live event on November 29. According to Downdetector, over 2,500 players experienced issues, with 67% citing server connection problems. The outage map revealed that areas like New York and Los Angeles were affected. Players took to social media to vent their frustrations, with some humorously suggesting they watch the event on YouTube or trying to exit and re-enter the game to resolve the issue. However, the problem persisted, with many reporting a black screen and pause in the middle of the event. Epic Games has urged players to restart their Fortnite client and re-queue, but the cause of the crash remains unclear. To fix the black screen issue, players can check their game drivers and verify the Fortnite files through the Epic Games library. However, it appears to be a server-side problem, and players will have to wait for Epic Games to resolve the issue. This is not the first time Fortnite has experienced a major outage, with a similar issue occurring earlier this month during the Simpsons event. The Zero Hour event was touted as a major milestone, with Epic Games promising an epic showdown between 'legends' to save reality from the Dark Presence.
