Specs of pc? And does it load?

I recognize this, I used to get this in PUBG when trying to launch it with custom shaders. It was battle eye detecting this as some kind of cheat injecting into the game. They fixed it with an update though.

I'm not trying to load any custom shaders or anything. so should I just wait for a fortnite update for the time being? also the game doesn't start @Fruitsnacc

I googled around quickly and it seems it's indeed BattleEye causing this. The cause would be BattleEye not being able to update. It's suggested to uninstall BattleEye, verify the game files trough Steam and it should work.

Right click the game in your Steam library, go to properties, the local files tab, and click the verify integrity of game cache button.

Oh right, I forgot Fortnite doesn't run from Steam, there should be an option in the (Epic Games) launcher somewhere. I don't play the game myself so I don't know how it looks.

Then I would suggest uninstalling the game, BattleEye, cleaning up the remaining files, and installing the game again.

so those DLL are reshaders? update is blocking them so go to C:/Local > Program files > Epic Games > Fortnite > FortniteGame > Binaries > Win64 and delete those .DLL files it is blocking
