SOLVED: Fortnite Error Code 91

You may encounter Fortnite error code 91 while trying to join a lobby. This problem is very common among different devices such as PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, and PlayStation due to connectivity issues. This error code appears because the game is facing issues connecting to the servers. Here are some fixes that can potentially solve this issue.

Checking the Fortnite Server Status

One of the reasons for this error could be that millions of players play Fortnite each day at the same time, which causes issues. To solve these issues, the server goes under maintenance occasionally, which causes issues in the game.

So you should consider checking the server status before applying any fixes. You can visit the official Fortnite Twitter page for constant updates about server issues and bug fixes. You can also visit Epic Games to see Realtime updates of Fortnite Servers.

Turning Crossplay ON

If you are playing Fortnite on console devices like Xbox, Playstation, or Nintendo Switch, then you might be experiencing party issues due to trying to connect with players from other platforms. Cross Platform play allows players across devices to connect. Here’s how you can turn Crossplay ON in Fortnite.

1. In the lobby, click the button in the top left corner.

   

2. Now click the gear icon and click settings.

   

3. In the account and privacy tab, scroll down to Gameplay Privacy and click yes on Cross-Platform Play to turn it ON.

Configure NAT Type 3

NAT stands for Network Address Translation. It is a set of processes that translate your Private Internet Protocol or IP to a single Public Internet Protocol or IP. NAT type 3, or NAT is strict, is the most strict type of NAT setting that blocks all data traffic transfer from your Local Network. This is also the safest setting as it protects from almost every potential attack against your PC.

It sure has security benefits, but it also has some disadvantages. It prevents devices connected to your network from communicating and blocks your access to join other servers online. So this can be one of the root causes behind errors like Fortnite Error Code 91. This can also lead to constant lag, connectivity, and server accessibility issues.

Turning your System’s Network Discovery ON is the easiest way to change your NAT type to a less secure one with better internet speed and fewer connectivity issues. You can follow these easy-to-do steps that we’ve explained below.

1. Open the Start Menu, search Control Panel, and open it.

   

2. In the Control Panel, click Network and Sharing Center.

   

3. On the left side, click Change Advanced Sharing Settings.

   

4. Then click on Turn on Network Discovery and click save changes.
