Fortnite, with its multiple game modes and ongoing development, is now more than just a battle royale. Still, combat is the heart of the platform, so any kind of stuttering or lag issue can be very annoying for players. For some, it happens quite often, while for others it’s an occasional occurrence, but the nuisance is annoying. There are quite a few reasons why you might be experiencing lag, and luckily, there are a number of solutions.

One of the main causes of lag is server stress. This often happens when a new chapter or update is added to the game. People who play it occasionally also join to try out new features, which can lead to this issue. You can search for Fortnite player counts in the browser to get statistics and learn about the times when fewer people are using the game.

Also, if the system only meets the primary requirement or even fails to meet it, you will experience lag, stuttering, and all sorts of other issues while playing. You should go to the Epic Store and check the requirements to make sure that this isn’t the cause.

To avoid lag or stuttering, your best option is to lower the settings. To do this, go to the in-game settings, select Video and you will see all the graphics options. It is recommended to use the same display resolution as your device and set the quality settings to low or medium. You can also keep effects and textures low if they do not interfere with your gameplay.
