Fortnite Not Auto Updating

Ah, that’s a different issue than the previous one, but don’t worry, I can still help you with that! Here are some steps you can take to get Fortnite updating automatically again:

Checking your settings:

  1. Launcher settings: Open the Epic Games Launcher, click on your profile icon (top right) and go to Settings. Under Manage Games, find Fortnite and check if "Allow auto-updates" is enabled. If not, tick the box to turn it on.
  2. Device settings: Depending on your platform, you might need to check for automatic update settings for games or specific applications. Here’s where to look:
    • PC: Windows Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update > Advanced options > Change update options > Choose how updates are installed (check "Download and install updates automatically").
    • PlayStation: Settings > System Software Update > Set Automatically Download Updates (enable).
    • Xbox: Settings > System > Updates > Keep my console up to date and Keep my games & apps up to date (enable both).
    • Nintendo Switch: System Settings > System Update > Check for Update (manual update).

Additional troubleshooting:

  1. Restart your device and the launcher: Sometimes a simple restart can fix temporary glitches.
  2. Check your internet connection: Ensure you have a stable and strong internet connection for updates to download.
  3. Clear launcher cache: Go to your launcher settings (refer to step 1) and click on Manage Games. Find Fortnite and click on the three dots next to it. Select Verify to check the game files and Clear Cache to remove temporary data.
  4. Check for server issues: In rare cases, server problems might affect updates. Check the Fortnite status page for any reported issues.
  5. Reinstall the Epic Games Launcher: As a last resort, consider reinstalling the launcher completely. This might fix any corrupted files or settings.

Remember, the specific steps might vary slightly depending on your platform. If you need more detailed instructions, feel free to specify which platform you’re using.

I hope this helps you get Fortnite updating automatically again!
