    As with most online games, even in Fortnite LAG is a naturally occuring phenomenon that plagues all gamers. But lag is not always due to network issues, sometimes lag has to do with the hardware of your rig and/or the software. So before you can solve Fortnite lag, you need to diagnose whats causing the high ping in the first place.

    Visit the official Fortnite website to check the recommended system requirements, and make sure that you meet both hardware and software requirements.

    Make sure you are connected via ethernet cable and not wifi. I know this is a small thing and shouldn't matter in this day and age, but, trust me it helps with ping.

    You can try to change your matchmaking region so you get better ping.

    If this doesn't help, here you can read up on more workarounds for Fortnite lag by searching on google including network related issues.

    It's always recommended to use ethernet cable when playing games

    Unfortunately the lag in Fortnite doesn't have a single cause, so pinpointing where the problem is coming from is pretty hard. Although, most of the times this occurs due to bad internet connection or issues with the gaming rig.

    But sometimes it's due to background applications and server location as well. but mostly it's because of wireless connection in my case

    Although, I've come to realize that there is a significant number of gamers who don't check the system requirements before getting a game to avoid lackluster PC performance.

    On console they seem to be getting a bit of lag. And I am hoping that they soon improve. PUBG is kind of doing lot better on that note. I have seen some of the really good users making use of the fortnite's new patches.

    Do you guys think the number of epic friends you have , might be the cause of Fortnite lag issue? I'm asking because the number of games I'm losing to lag is increasing.

    Most online games lag because of incompatibility and bad internet connection. Make sure to check it always.

    I think server issues is the number one contributor of lagging in Fortnite followed by bad internet connections.

    I know what you mean, Slow internet can be a B****

    I feel like issue with servers can be taken care of though.

    I agree 100% that the server issue is really a small one and should not be made or turned into something that it's not.

    I think that is a little bit true.
