Since the release of Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 1’s version 19.30 patch in February, several players have reported the game freezing upon logging in and only being left with a message that reads “downloading keychain.” In addition, the error is even known crashing the application upon re-entering the game. As frustrating as it may be, the game’s developer has revealed a few solutions for the bug.

At the time of writing, developer Epic Games has confirmed that a patch has now been released for the “downloading keychain” error. So, players may need to manually update the game to receive this permanent fix. If it persists, the entire application should be deleted and re-installed as this method is known to at least temporarily resolve the issue.

When experiencing any game-breaking bugs in general, it is highly recommended users check the Fortnite’s official Status webpage or its official Twitter account.
