      \n
    1. Run the Epic Games Launcher.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. On the left panel, click Library<\/strong>. On the right, click the gear button<\/strong> on the lower-right corner of Fortnite<\/strong>.

      Run Fortnite again to check if your FPS increases. If the FPS is still the same, or there was no new game patch available, move on to the next fix, below.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      <\/a>Tip 2: Update your graphics driver<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      You can also enjoy a better gaming experience if you update your graphics driver to the latest version<\/strong>. Many Fortnite players have reported that the FPS in Fortnite improves after they update their graphics driver to the latest version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      There are two ways to update your graphics driver: manually<\/strong> and automatically<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Update your graphics driver manually<\/strong> \u2013 You can update your graphics driver manually by going to the manufacturer\u2019s website and searching for the latest driver for your graphics card.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Be sure to choose the driver that\u2019s compatible with your<\/strong> exact graphics card model<\/strong> and your version of Windows<\/strong>. <\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n

      OR<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Update your drivers automatically<\/strong> \u2013 If you don\u2019t have the time, patience or computer skills to update your graphics card driver manually, you can, instead, do it automatically with Driver Easy<\/a><\/strong>. You don\u2019t need to know exactly what system your computer is running, you don\u2019t need to risk downloading and installing the wrong driver, and you don\u2019t need to worry about making a mistake when installing. Driver Easy handles it all<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
