Check the bot and service status
First confirm the bot is started and shows Available in the FNLB App. Then check for FNLB announcements - if every bot is offline at once, it is usually a temporary service issue.
Remember that Booting and Disconnected are not the same as Offline, and a bot in In use is simply already in a party.
Restart the bot
Stop and start the bot again from the FNLB App. If it still will not stay online:
- Remove it from your Fortnite party and friends list.
- Re-add it and invite it fresh.
- Confirm the Epic Games account was not changed or recovered elsewhere.
Still offline?
If everything looks right but the bot never comes online, ask in the FNLB Discord and include your bot name and region.
Frequent disconnects can also be caused by a poor connection on your side - see Fixing lag and connection issues.
