[2020] Some services going offline in Battle Royale


Original Post — Direct link

It looks like our own Fortnitemares have come true and we are unable to keep up with player demand. To help us resolve the issues we are having:

  • We are turning Squads off globally, temporarily
  • We are turning Duos on in OCE/Asia/Brazil temporarily

This is to reduce overall load on our backend/database. We will bring them back online as soon as we are sure our servers are stable, or we wake up from the Fortnitemare, whichever comes first.

We apologize for the inconvenience. We'll work as hard as we can to get everything back asap.

For a little additional context here:

  • The impact on the main backend service that got thrashed today is basically 0/12/72 ratio for Solo/Duos/Squads respectively.
  • If we disabled Duos instead of Squads, we most likely would have increased the problem, due to people hopping over to Squads mode and we would have knocked things back over.
  • We are hoping to have Squads re-enabled in the next few hours.
  • We are going to swap back to Solos and Squads only in OCE/Asia/Brazil for now. This allows the most play flexibility and we are constantly evaluating for when we can have all 3 modes enabled in each region as these regions continue to grow.
