How do I adjust compatibility mode to fix issues with Fortnite?

  1. Navigate to your Fortnite binaries directory (Default: C:\Program Files\Epic Games\Fortnite\FortniteGame\Binaries\Win64\)
  2. Locate FortniteClient-Win64-Shipping.exe.
  3. Right-click it, and then click Properties.
  4. Click Compatibility.
  5. Check the box next to Run this program in compatibility mode for.
  6. Make sure Windows 8 is selected.
  7. Check the box next to Disable fullscreen optimizations.
  8. Click Apply.
  9. Click OK.
