But if you've been playing Fortnite for any extended period of time, you know that the queue often rears its head after an update or a patch. Typically, these queue issues are fixed in a short time after the problem comes to light. Some even see longer wait times (see below). Many tend to get stuck in the queue for up to half an hour or more - assuming it doesn't time out and start over again.
Shortly after updating the game, players have (still) been reporting issues entering matches. In the past few months, Fortnite has received a few major updates, including the most recent one, Patch 3.5, which introduces Port-a-Fort and Replay Mode. So if you've found yourself asking, 'Why does Fortnite say 'Waiting in Queue'?', or 'How to do I fix 'Waiting in Queue'', then this guide will give you the help you need and show you how to get around it. But there are ways around the queue - and getting into matches faster.
And with the newest 3.5 Patch, even more players are flocking to the game, causing long(er) wait times and frustration among all.
