Are you unable to load your game because of a “Fortnite Failed to Download Supervised Settings” error? (Pretty amazing way to start your day, right?)
It can happen because of a poor internet connection, corrupted game files, or some problems with game servers. Whatever the reason, you might be looking for a way to solve this so you can get back to your game.
No worries! Here, I’ve brought three common fixes that work most of the time. So, just scroll through the blog and find what works best for you.
The “Fortnite Failed to Download Supervised Settings” error typically occurs due to server issues or a weak internet connection.
So what happens is when you try to load into the game, the Fortnite server tries to fetch some information and some settings. But when it fails to do that, you are locked out in the lobby, unable to get back in.
However, since the error is from the server’s side, there is not much you can do to get back to your game. The only thing recommended is for the developers to fix it from their side.
Since the servers are at fault for the “Fortnite Failed to Download Supervised Settings” error, you can only wait it out. However, if you are unable to load the game even after the servers are online, the problem might be on your side.
To fix that, here are some things you can try:
First of all, you should check your internet connection and see if your Wi-Fi is working properly. If it isn’t, make sure to talk it out with your internet service provider.
You can also try disconnecting your console or PC from the internet by heading to connection settings and turning off the Wi-Fi and the Ethernet.
Experts say that restarting works almost every time. So, you can try restarting your game, console (Xbox or PlayStation), system, and router and leaving it out for a while. Then plug it back in and try to reconnect to the game.
If you have tried every possible fix and you are still unable to solve the “Fortnite Failed to Download Supervised Settings” error, you might have to reinstall Fortnite. It will help you remove any corrupted or outdated files that are causing problems in servers.
If you are unable to fix the error even after fixing everything on your end, you must check whether the Fortnite servers are online.
For that, just go to Epic’s server status page and see if there is a mention of any outage there. If there is, you can’t do anything other than wait and look for something else to do.
It is also possible that the servers are down and Epic hasn’t updated the error on the status page, so it’s better to check its status on sites like Down Detector and Isitdownrightnow.
No, it’s not safe for kids below 12 to play Fortnite because of the instances of mild violence and gore content. Although it’s a bit cartoonish compared to other games, it can still be disturbing.
However, if your kids insist on playing, you can use the built-in Fortnite parental controls to restrict chats and inappropriate content to ensure their safety while playing.
Regardless, if your kids insist on using chats, you can just learn how to take parental controls off of Fortnite voice chat and allow other permissions.
The “Fortnite Failed to Download Supervised Settings” error mainly happens because of an error either from your side or Epic’s side. So, you must check where the problem lies, following the steps I’ve listed above.
If these fixes don’t work out for you, I recommend you visit Fortnite’s Status page to check what the problem is.
