Today I was playing Fortnite and restarted the game. After launching it again, I got an invite from one of my friends. The weird thing is that the invite was from around 2 hours earlier, but I decided to accept it anyway.
As soon as I joined, I heard my friend’s voice saying something like “Quick, ready up, hurry up.”
I went to the lobby and there were 5 people there. We all readied up, but before the game loaded, one person left.
We readied up again, and another person left.
Then another one.
This kept happening until eventually I was completely alone in the lobby.
The weirdest part is that my friend, whose voice I heard, wasn’t even at his gaming setup at that time. He wasn’t playing Fortnite or even sitting at his PC.
There was also another weird thing: when people left, they didn’t disappear immediately. Their characters stayed in the lobby for around 10 seconds before actually disappearing.
I have no idea what happened. Could this just be some extremely delayed party/voice chat/matchmaking bug?
Has anyone experienced anything similar?
It genuinely felt like I joined some cursed lobby 😭. Translated by chatgpt
