We’ve investigated this particular issue thoroughly and we found out that there are multiple different causes that might trigger this particular error. Here’s a shortlist of potential culprits:
Method 1: Changing your skin
This might seem like an unlikely fix, but changing the skin before retrying the connection is the most popular fix when it comes to circumventing the error code 93 in Fortnite. According to some affected users, this is effective because the problem often occurs due to a bug having to do with the current loadout that you’re attempting to join a game with. Note: This operation is confirmed to work on both the mobile version of the game and the PC & Console battle-royale version. If you didn’t try this out first, start by logging out of Fortnite first, then log back into the game. Once you’ve done this, visit your Locker, and literally pick any other skin that’s currently available in your inventory. Once you do this, go back to the Solo Queue and attempt to join your friend’s party again. In most cases, this workaround should allow you to avoid the error code 93 in Fortnite. If the same problem is still occurring, move down to the next potential fix below.
Method 2: Setting the party type to private
Some users encountering the same 93 error code have confirmed that they managed to fix the problem by changing the party privacy to Private before reinviting their friends once again. However, keep in mind that this change can only be done by the party leader. So if you’re seeing this error when trying to connect to a friend’s party, the only way to fix this problem is to convince your friend to follow the instructions below: In case the same problem is still appearing, move down to the next potential fix below.
Method 3: Join games through Epic Friends List
If none of the workarounds above have allowed you to fix this problem, there is one workaround that should allow you to bypass the 93 error code in Fortnite if you’re facing this problem while launching Fortnite on a PC using the Epic Launcher. As it turns out, some affected users have managed to avoid this problem entirely by joining a friend’s party via Epic’s Friends list. If this scenario is applicable, follow the instructions below to join an ongoing Fortnite Party via Epic Launcher: If you still end up seeing the 93 error code, move down to the next potential fix below.
Method 4: Checking for server issues
If none of the potential fixes above have worked for you, you should seriously start considering a server issue. In the past, issues of this kind were often rooted back to a game server issue or a widespread issue with the Epic Games infrastructure. If you suspect you’re actually dealing with a server issue, you should start by checking the official Epic Games Public Status page and see if they are currently reporting any server problems. When you get there, expand the tab associated with Fortnite and see if any subcomponent of the game is currently facing any issues. However, even if the official status page doesn’t reflect anything yet, that doesn’t mean a server issue is off the table. You should also check services like DownDetector and IsTheServiceDown to see if other users are reporting the same problem. If this investigation has allowed you to reveal an underlying server problem that other Fortnite players are also currently dealing with, there is no fix other than to wait for the problem to be resolved.
