Fortnite closes on startup saying an update is required, but no update is available
Hello,
When I try to launch the game (Fortnite), it immediately closes and displays a message saying that an update is required in order to play. However, there is no update available in the launcher — I’ve checked multiple times, and it says the game is already up to date. I’ve also tried restarting both the launcher and my PC, but the issue persists.
Could you please help me resolve this?
Thank you in advance.

heroic uses legendary behind the scenes to handle epic games, and legendary is known to have issues updating fornite
you'll be better using the official epic games launcher to update the game, you should be able to use heroic to run the game, but it's known to have issues with updates for this specific game
