Fortnite landed a hit with the zero build mode.

However, the popular mode is plagued by bugs.

Numerous fans are now sharing their experiences on Twitter.

Cary, North Carolina – Fortnite seems to have been a bit haywire lately.

The battle royale kicked off in Chapter 3 Season 3 in June and has brought some exciting new features while fans are getting more and more frustrated with the game.

After a few controversial changes to the XP system and rather moderately popular collaborations, there's now an even bigger problem.

As reported by IPPEN.MEDIA ingame.de, massive bugs are currently circulating in Null Bauen, which make Fortnite almost unplayable for them.

Fortnite: Error kicks players out of matches in zero builds

What happened?

Actually, FNBRintel is above all a reliable source for new leaks and insider knowledge about Fortnite.

For once, on July 1, 2022, the Twitter account did not share any news, but its own gameplay video from the Null Bauen mode.

It features a rather odd scene in which someone just flies out of the match despite being the only member of the squad still alive.

Instead, the match simply ends for the player in 17th place. There must be a bug.

After FNBRintel shared the clip on Twitter, more and more other Fortnite players reported in the comments with more videos and screenshots of sometimes serious game errors in Null Bauen.

In the meantime, however, the bugs are no longer limited to the new game mode, the problem also seems to arise in conventional Battle Royale that players are simply thrown out of the matches prematurely.

Apparently there are other errors, such as team members in squads dying directly instead of just going down, or that all players are displayed as teammates in the kill feed.

Consistently, many fans seem to be having problems with Fortnite.

Why are these bugs in the game?

Many fans recently wondered why Fortnite was struggling with such serious bugs practically out of nowhere.

Fortnite insider HYPEX may now have the answer.

As the account recently reported on Twitter, Epic Games has introduced another anti-cheat system in Fortnite without any major announcements.

This should be called Hyperion and make life even more difficult for hackers.

In fact, the software was already active in the game before the Fortnite update 21.20.

According to HYPEX, the new software should also be the reason why Fortnite is almost unplayable for some.

Apparently, the software does not get along well with Windows 7, so if you play on the older operating system, you will likely have more of the problems shown.

When will Epic Games fix the bugs?

Unfortunately, it is not yet known when and if the developer studio from Cary, North Carolina will take care of the prevailing problems in Fortnite.

Epic Games is currently keeping a low profile on the subject and has not given any information on the introduction of Hyperion or the prevailing bugs.

Fans will probably have to wait until the implementation of the new software is a little more sophisticated.

Many fans are also disappointed with the current Fortnite skins.
