Fortnite Matchmaking Error 1 Fix

There are a few potential fixes for the matchmaking error 1 in Fortnite. The first is to make sure that everybody in the team unreadies. Then, let the leader (aka the host) ready up first. Only once that’s done should everyone else join them. Another option is to change the mode from fill to no fill. That has apparently fixed the issue for some people. Those are the two fixes we are aware of; if you know of other workarounds, let us know in the comments. Now, let’s talk about more general fixes for matchmaking errors you might encounter in Fortnite.

How to Fix Matchmaking Error Fortnite

There are several things you can do to fix the matchmaking error in Fortnite. The first step should be check whether the servers are up or not. If they are down, then you’ll have to wait for them to go back up. Another thing you should do is take a look at the Fortnite Status Twitter account to see whether the developers are tweaking matchmaking. That can cause problems, of course. It’s also a useful source in general. For example, we know that the developers are investigating the current problem with the servers right now, according to this tweet. If the cause is on the developers’ side, there’s not much you can do but wait.

Another thing that you should check is whether you date and time are set up correctly. If they are not, that can cause issues when communicating with the Fortnite servers. Also, if you’re playing on your phone, be sure to go into the settings and turn Developer Options off. The next potential fix for the Fortnite matchmaking error is to simply restart the game. It’s a simple and elegant solution that should work. Either way, it doesn’t hurt to try. Last, but not least, try changing the matchmaking region. Open the in-game menu, go into Settings, then click the gear icon and switch the matchmaking zone from there.

If none of these fixes work, then I’m afraid you’ll just have to contact the Epic Games support. If you have any other fixes that we might not know of and haven’t mentioned, let us know in the comments. We’ll be sure to update the guide accordingly.
