To fix Fortnite’s Error Code 0, try these steps: First, restart the game and/or your console/PC to resolve temporary glitches. If the problem persists, run Fortnite as an administrator by right-clicking its shortcut and selecting “Run as administrator”.
You can also verify your game files through the Epic Games Launcher or reinstall Easy Anti-Cheat to fix corrupted files.
✅ Steps to Try
Restart the game / client / system
Close Fortnite fully, exit the Epic Games launcher, and reopen.
If that doesn’t help, reboot your PC / console.
Verify game files (PC / Epic launcher)
Open Epic Games Launcher → Library → click the three dots next to Fortnite → Manage → Verify.
This will check for missing/corrupt files and replace them.
Repair / Reinstall Easy Anti‑Cheat
Navigate to the Fortnite installation folder → find the EasyAntiCheat folder.
Run
EasyAntiCheat_Setup.exe→ choose “Repair” (or “Install” if missing).Sometimes users uninstall and reinstall the entire anti‑cheat service.
Run as Administrator / check permissions
Right‑click on the Fortnite / Epic Launcher shortcut → “Run as administrator.”
Ensure your Windows user account has proper permissions.
Disable interfering software / antivirus / firewall / overlays
Sometimes antivirus or firewall blocks parts of the game or anti‑cheat. Add exceptions or disable them temporarily to test.
Close overlay apps like Discord, GeForce Experience, etc.
Check Fortnite / Epic server status / known issues
Sometimes the error is on Epic’s side or in the back end. If many players report it, it might be a server outage or bug.
Wait a bit and retry later.
Clear / reset your locker loadouts (for the “locker bug” side of things)
Some players found that by going into the Locker, clearing all categories (skin, emotes, back bling, wraps, etc.) via the three‑dots menu “Clear” option, letting things “reset,” then re-equipping helps.
Play a match with everything cleared, then try re-equipping your cosmetics.
Uninstall & reinstall Fortnite
If nothing else works, uninstall Fortnite fully (including leftover files), then perform a clean reinstallation.

Other troubleshooting steps
Disable background software:Temporarily disable third-party programs like Discord or antivirus software that might be interfering with the game.
Check for updates:Make sure both the game and your platform (console or PC) are fully updated.
Contact support:If none of these solutions work, you may need to contact Epic Games support for further assistance.
Fortnite Locker Bug Fix
The Fortnite Locker Bug (where you can’t equip skins, emotes, back bling, or wraps, or get a “locker services temporarily unavailable” error) has been affecting players across platforms. It’s sometimes tied to Error Code 0, but often it’s a separate glitch.
Here are working fixes players have had success with:
✅ Locker Bug Fixes – Try These Steps
🔁 1. Clear Your Locker Loadout
This has worked for many players:
Go to the Locker tab.
For each category (Outfit, Back Bling, Pickaxe, Emote, etc.):
Click the 3 dots (•••) next to the item.
Select Clear Slot or None.
Do this for all loadout slots.
Then play a match (even just land and exit).
After that, go back to the Locker and try equipping new items.
🧠 Why it works: This resets potential corrupted loadouts or cosmetic conflicts.

🔄 2. Switch to a Preset or Create a New One
Go to Locker → Presets (top of the Locker).
Try switching to a different preset.
OR: Create a brand-new preset with no items equipped, save it, then use it.
💾 3. Re-equip Cosmetics from the “Recent” Tab
Go to any cosmetic slot (e.g. skin).
Use the “Recent” filter to find items that were working before.
Equip items from there rather than from Favorites or Search.
📥 4. Change Cosmetic Item One by One
Instead of using presets, change items manually (e.g. skin, then pickaxe, then emotes).
Avoid uncommon or new cosmetics — some bugged items cause locker issues.
🔧 5. Restart the Game After Changing Locker Items
After clearing or changing loadout items:
Close Fortnite fully.
Reopen and check if Locker access is restored.
🛠️ If That Doesn’t Work…
✅ PC: Verify Game Files
Open Epic Games Launcher → Library.
Click the three dots on Fortnite → Manage → Verify Files.
🔁 Reinstall Fortnite (Last Resort)
If your locker is stuck no matter what, uninstalling + reinstalling Fortnite has fixed the issue for some users.
