The announcement of the Fortnite OG season has players far and wide in a frenzy. This issue is many players are getting slapped with an error message. Let me show you how to fix the ‘waiting in queue error’ for Fortnite, or at least what it means.

Unfortunately for eager players, there’s usually no way to fix the ‘Waiting In Queue’ error besides waiting for the problem to be resolved. This error is fairly standard at the start of new seasons. Although Epic does provide a time for the beginning of the new Season, it’s a rough estimate and has been several hours late in the past.
If you’re tired of waiting in the menus, there are a few other ways you can check when players can enter the game.
Fortnite has a thriving community on Reddit, and several bots track things like server downtime. If you check the comments, you’ll often get a good idea of what’s going on.
Epic Games has a webpage detailing the status of all of its online services, from Fortnite to Rocket League. For a large season update, Fortnite usually has the ‘Under Maintenance’ flag until everything is working.
If you can get into Fortnite far enough to see the Waiting In Queue error, the problem will unlikely be with your system. At that point, you’re already technically on Fortnite; you just can’t get into the menu. If you’re concerned, the best place to check for outages is Down Detector. This website relies on user reports for their data and often highlights problems long before official channels.
If you see a massive red spike on the graph (at the time of writing, the Fortnite graph is sky-high), it means multiple users are having the same issues you are.
