LEGO Fortnite goes down for maintenance to address village destruction bug
Epic GamesLEGO Fortnite is down for emergency maintenance after a malicious bug has caused entire villages to be destroyed.
LEGO Fortnite‘s release has been a success for Epic Games, as the developers managed to blend survival mechanics with the charm of LEGO.
At its core, the sky is the limit for players as they are given the tools to create whatever they desire. Some insane levels of creation have come forth, with players beautifully recreating locales, iconic vehicles, and monuments in the game.
It’s all fun and games until it comes crashing down, and that’s exactly what’s been happening as a nasty bug has forced Epic Games to shift LEGO Fortnite into maintenance mode.
LEGO Fortnite bug caused complete village destruction
Head over to the LEGO Fortnite subreddit, and numerous threads have shared horror stories of the bug in question. Players logging into their world have been surprised with their builds completely demolished or merely a skeleton of what they used to be.
The stories flooded the LEGO Fortnite support Discord channel and raised enough eyebrows that Epic Games announced the mode would be going offline as the developers work to address the issue.
Player appreciation flooded in, although many are rightfully upset at the progress they’ve lost. Epic Games shared an update that more information will be provided on how they’ve remedied the issue, but it’s still a work in progress.
While LEGO Fortnite has been a success, its status has been quite shaky since it launched due to bugs. A previous issue made players lose village levels.
We’ll keep you updated as more information comes to light on the situation. For now, it’s best to stay off the mode until a clear fix is implemented.
