Fortnite - How To Fix "The Application Has Crashed And Will Now Close" Error
Original source date
Answer
You should fist make sure that your operating system and graphics card driver is up to date. If you are using an NVIDIA GPU, then I suggest using the GeForce Experience application or Gaming Evolved software for AMD. In the GeForce Experience application, navigate to the Home tab, and select Details for Fortnite. Click on the wrench icon to change some in-game setting in case you lack performance. You should also set the resolution option to your native monitor resolution. In the GeForce Experience application, navigate to the Drivers tab and select download. This will automatically download and install the latest driver to your system and could potentially already fix the crashing error.
