Fortnite Matchmaking error in Season 7?

Epic, in its latest Tweet, has stated that there have been some Fortnite matchmaking errors and server issues after the Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 7 update. The Fortnite matchmaking error is not letting players join matches or, in some cases, even boot the game. The developers have also said that they are "investigating several issues" and will update the community once these issues are resolved. Loopers can check out the tweet below.

What can Loopers do?

While the loopers have been waiting to dive into the new Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 7 and uncover new mysteries for themselves, the new issue is spoiling the party for many players.

While Epic has stated that they are looking into the issue and will fix it as soon as they can, there are not many things players can do right now except wait for Epic to push another patch or fix the server issues.

The Fortnite Matchmaking error could be due to excessive load on the servers, as everyone wants to jump into the island and see the changes for themselves. This could also be due to the 500 error that occurred earlier today following an interruption at the cloud computing service Fastly. This has affected dozens of websites, including Amazon pages, Reddit and Twitch to name a few.
