  1. Fortnite crashes almost right after anticheat launches.


    Since about 2 months ago i havent been able to open fortnite. Every time i open the game the pc just crashes. I am not able to access task manager and as well as click power button change settings etc etc. Every time the game instead of opening redirects me back to the epic games launcher. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the game multiple times as well as the launcher. Also tried running the game with a cleanboot. My gpu drivers are up to date and my system specs meet the requiremets: -CPU: ryzen 5 7600-GPU: rx 7600 8gb vram-16gb ram-800W power supply I have already spoken with epic games s

    Computer crashes after trying to launch Fortnite

    Recently, my computer has been crashing and giving me a blue screen when I try to launch Fortnite.

    I think the crash occurs because the game/my account cannot handle when I change what account I am trying to launch with. The only fix I have found that works EVERY TIME is to wait for the next patch to roll out and to NOT change accounts, even on the fortnite.com website. Another way I have found to fix this error is to get the blue screen, to open the launcher, and then to restart my computer multiple times manually, which, in turn, takes a lot of extra time and work.

    The error returned when I try to launch Fortnite is a System-Thread-Exception-Not-Handled error and, in half-knowing what runs games, I know that a thread is what actually runs the game which helped me figure out the account glitch. Also, when I immediately close the Epic Games Launcher after getting this glitch, I get a different blue screen message that I can't recall right now.

    Computer Specs and Windows version

    Also, Fortnite runs with the Easy Anti-Cheat software, which could be the source of the problem.

    EDIT:

    I found the root of this problem: the file is too large to download into the C:/Program_Files folder, which causes it to run weirdly and crash. I don't know of any fix for this besides getting a larger SSD (as of right now it is a 128 GB SSD.

    Unity BSOD after launching Easy Anticheat

    I did everything as you said, both methods but the same thing still happens to me when I try to enter Fall Guys Fortnite and RecRoom. Yeah I didnt mention it crashes while opening these games. But Brawlhalla, which also uses Easy Anticheat, works perfectly fine for me. And that's why I concluded that the problem is with Unity.

  4. Fortnite crashes almost right after anticheat launches.

    Why did moving Easy Anticheat to a different Drive break Fortnite on the secondary account?

    I have a windows computer with two separate hard drives. I am the admin account, and there is another account as well. Recently I moved a bunch of stuff from my main drive (the one with windows on it) to the secondary drive. This includes the files for, Easy Anticheat, Epic Games, and Fortnite. This had no effect on playability on the admin account, however on the second account it created a host of issues. I have solved most of them, however, whenever I attempt to launch Fortnite from the second account, I get an error message claiming that Easy Anticheat is not installed. This is completely untrue, as the game works just fine on the main account, other games that use Easy Anticheat work just fine on the second account, and I have seen the files in File Explorer. I suspect it is caused by the change of file location, but I have no idea how to fix this. Is there anything that can be done?
