The Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2 update is upon us and there are a lot of new things that are hitting the island, including a brand new theme called Lawless. While the servers haven’t really gone down yet, they’ll be taken offline soon, and will be down until the updates have completed.
Now, Epic Games is allowing you to preload the Chapter 6 Season 2 update on the PlayStation 5 and the Series X but PC players aren’t that lucky.
Despite this, you might come across an error where Fortnite won’t update irrespective of the platform that you’re on. So, if you encounter this error, what do you do?
How to fix Fortnite Won’t Update error in Chapter 6 Season 2
For the most part, this is a networking error, which can be triggered either on your end or on the server side of things. Considering that update days are extremely busy for the server side of things, experiencing the Fortnite won’t update error irrespective of the platform you’re on is completely natural. In case you come across this error, here’s what you need to do:
- Restart your network devices like your modems or routers. This is irrespective of the platform that you’re on, and a full reset of all your network devices can help fix this issue.
- While you’re restarting your network devices, try restarting your PC, PS5 or Xbox Series X/S too. This should also resolve any additional connectivity issues that you may experience.
- Finally, sometimes when you’re downloading the update on WiFi, you’ll end up experiencing the Fortnite won’t update error. In such cases switching to a wired connection is bound to sort this error for you.
These three fixes should solve the issue for you especially when it comes to updating Fortnite during the Chapter 6 Season 2 patch. However, if these fixes don’t work, then all you need to do is wait it out.
There’s a chance that the developers will address this issue and you’ll be able to download the patch before the servers go live. Alternatively, you might have to wait it out a bit because the developers may not have put the update live for download either. In such events, waiting for a short period of time should effectively sort the issue out for you.
