Error encountered while connecting to the Fortnite network.
I believe the issue isn't unique to you or your cousin—it's widespread. This isn't just a personal problem; it affects many people and isn't limited to your ISP. It's a bigger challenge in the game. We need to recognize we're all in this together.
I've discovered three possible solutions with different levels of complexity... 1) Simplest option, but results are minimal. Many suggest changing the server region to eliminate the problem, though this can cause increased latency and prevent playing with friends in other areas. 2) Most likely fix. Users report success by adjusting security or firewall configurations on their routers—lowering the security level from maximum to medium often works. 3) Hardest approach, like forcing a major change. Some have found resolution by performing a complete Windows reinstall. Epic acknowledged the issue in their discussions but hasn't mentioned it again.
