    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.

  3. Why does Fortnite, COD Warzone, and Apex Legends keep crashing?

    I did everything on the list for Fortnite but Fortnite is the game that crashes the least so I can't tell if it worked or not. Apex Legends and COD Warzone crashes the most.
