Common causes

Connection problems usually come from one of these:

  • An unstable or slow internet connection
  • Multiple bots in one party
  • A game mode that does not support bot lobbies
  • The bot still booting up or temporarily disconnected
  • A temporary FNLB or Fortnite service issue

Quick fixes

  • Restart Fortnite and the FNLB App
  • Switch to a wired connection if possible
  • Keep only one bot in the party
  • Use a supported mode with No Fill
  • Wait for the bot to finish booting before inviting it
  • Try again in a few minutes if the service is busy

If the bot keeps disconnecting

If the bot drops repeatedly:

  1. Stop and start it again from the FNLB App.
  2. Confirm it shows as Available before inviting it.
  3. Remove it from the party and friends list, then re-add it.

When to contact support

If the issue continues, check the FNLB status page and the FNLB Discord for announcements. When asking for help, include your platform, region, bot name and a short description of what happens.
