Technology has come a long way and people have come to rely on it a lot. While it makes our life much easier and comfortable, there is a disadvantage of it. In the event of a malfunction or disconnection, life becomes a disappointing thing, especially with the pandemic still haunting our lives. The popular game called Fortnite faced some issues with its authentication process, rendering some features unusable. The players of the game were quick to express their dismay on social media like Twitter.
Over yesterday and today there should be two online Fortnite tournaments that will give the top players an opportunity to try their skills against the World Cup Champions of last year. Yesterday, the Fortnite Duos tournament allowed people play against Aqua and Nyhrox and today solo players can go up against Bugha.
Actually, the issue with the authentication servers of Epic Games is not new. For those who do not have any slightly idea, there was a similar issue a couple of months ago. The developer called Epic Games had offered GTA 5 for free for a few days a little while ago. Unsurprisingly, it got good response. Such much so that the thing resulted in a timed-out authentication issue with the online servers of the Epic Games. People have to understand that these issues are common with online games. A lot of applications used by us fail to respond sometimes because of server issues. Hopefully everything could be resolved soon.
