Frame lag in only Fortnite

[RandomUser3847]

I have a gtx 1070 with a 7600k and can run every game with great frames but for some reason Fortnite will be running anywhere between 120-200fps and then just freeze for about half a second. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling my drivers, uninstalling and reinstalling fornite and epic, and i have uninstalled everything i dont use on my pc incase something was causing it but nothing works. Any help would be appreciated.

Try to put Fortnite's folder in the excluded folders from your antivirus. Also you can try to clean the drivers with DDU and then reinstall them.

this has nothing to do with your hardware or antivirus. its the wifi. If you see in the settings the region you are playing. You can see the ms lag that is ther. 1-50 ms lag is normal. but the stuttering happens at 100+ ms

Freezings have nothing to do with network performance.

I am the only one is the house that has this problem though. Every time it happens my ping is around 20-30. And I feel like if it was a wifi problem I would have the same issues in other games.

Again, exclude Fortnite's folder from your antivirus control. In Steam is a common issue getting momentary freezes in any game if the folder isn't excluded from antivirus checking. Also defrag your HDD.

sadly neither of those worked

So after trying everything I could think of I fixed the problem by increasing my ingame settings. i had most on low before and when I maxed them out I no longer had any frame drops. I don't know why it worked but it did.

That sounds like a fragmentation problem but if defragging didn't helped it's kinda weird. Glad you figured a solution.
