Users report symptoms like slow loading, stuck downloads, or infinite &#8220;loading your order&#8221; screens. These problems are common but typically temporary or fixable with basic troubleshooting.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"common-causes\" class=\"mb-2 mt-4 font-display font-semimedium text-base first:mt-0 md:text-lg [hr+&amp;]:mt-4\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">Common Causes<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">Server overload happens during peak times, such as Epic&#8217;s weekly free games or big events like Fortnite updates. Download speed throttling or connectivity glitches can mimic overload.
