In this guide, you will come to know how to fix the Fortnite Crash Reporter, and Fortnite Has Crashed error on PC. Go through the guide and follow the step-by-step instructions to fix the error.
Verify Fortnite Files.
First of all, you will need to ensure that your Fortnite files are complete and up to date. After that, open up your Epic Games launcher and in your games library, locate Fortnite and click on the burger menu icon for the game. When you click on Verify, the launcher will take a couple of minutes to see if the game files are complete and not corrupted.
Additional Command Line Arguments
While it is loading, you need to click on your user profile icon on the top right of this window and select Settings. Scroll down and expand your Fortnite settings. Check the Additional Command Line Arguments box and enter the d3d11 command before exiting out of your settings. It will force Fortnite to launch using DirectX11, which can prevent the game from crashing on your PC in a lot of cases.
Disable High-Resolution Textures.
Before closing your game launcher, you need to navigate back to your Fortnite library settings. Under Options, you have to disable the High-Resolution Textures option before applying your changes.
Windows Update
You can then launch Fortnite to see if you’re still having crash issues. If the problem persists, make sure that you’re running the latest Windows version. After that, open up your Windows settings, and in the Windows Update tab, click on Check for Updates, or click on Download and install now to download the latest update. You will have to restart your PC to install the downloaded update.
Display Settings
While in your settings, you have to navigate to System and click on Display. Here, ensure that the correct Display is selected and set the scale and layout options to their recommended setting.
Update Graphics Card Driver
After looking at all of your Windows settings, you should make sure that your graphics card driver is up to date. If you are using an NVIDIA graphics card, it is suggested to use the GeForce Experience application. AMD users can use the AMD Radeon Software. In the Drivers section, click on Download; it will take a moment to download the latest driver, which the application will automatically install.
Fortnite Custom Settings.
In the Home section, you have to click on Details for Fortnite; it will allow you to access some additional settings. After that, click on the gear icon, and then you can turn this slider option to Performance. It will reduce your in-game settings for Fortnite, which is helpful when you’re unable to access your video settings because of crash issues.
GeForce Settings
Lastly, you have to take a look at your GeForce Experience settings. In the General section, make sure that the In-Game Overlay is disabled. Overlays are known culprits for lag and crashes. You will need to enable the NVIDIA Image Scaling option. It will, in any case, improve your gaming performance by increasing the image sharpness of the game. It reduces your video resolution and still gets a great visual experience.
Run Fortnite as Admin
Lastly, if nothing helps you out, you need to make sure to run Fortnite as an administrator if you have admin permissions on your PC. Open up your File Explorer; you will have to locate the Fortnite exe application. The file path for the install location is: Program Files > Epic Games > Fortnite > FortniteGame > Binaries > Win64. Right-click the FortniteClient-Win64-Shipping application with the biggest file size and select Properties.
Ensure that you’re in the Compatibility tab of this panel, check the Disable full-screen optimizations, and Run this program as an administrator option before applying your changes.
