Fans of Fortnite were left disappointed after finding they were unable to login to their Epic Games account, and thus play their favourite battle royale.<\/p>\n

Reports via Twitter started appearing around 12 pm GMT on 6th April, with players reporting receiving an “Invalid Client” error when attempting to login.<\/p>\n

Epic confirmed the issues at 1:30 pm and later, at 4:30 pm, added that the Epic Games Launcher and Fortnite servers were still “degraded”.<\/p>\n
