Installation stopped Error when updating Fortnite 16.11.23

zvikorn · Nov 17, 2023

When trying to update Fortnite today, I receive a notification every few seconds that the installation has stopped. The update does not get past 0%

I have tried literally everything on 10 support pages including reseting the console... And I have spent an hour with a clueless support agent who blames Epic Games.

I've read that people have the problem when the console was unplugged without being turned off or that the game tries to update is it's being installed.

All help would be appreciated,

I'm out of ideas

Hi. My name is Brilliant, an independent advisor, happy to assist you today.

Kindly try the following to resolve your query:
1. Turn off your console.
2. Unplug from power supply.
3. Press and hold the power button for 15 seconds.
4. Plug back your power supply and turn on the machine.

I hope this helps.

When I try to install the game, it tells me it needs an update and to either update now or update later. Pressing update now causes the same automatic “installation stopped” error as when it requires me to update after installing the new game.
