Epic’s New Anti-Cheat Update: W or L for Competitive Fortnite

🔥 Fortnite Anti-Cheat Update: What You Need to Know 🚨

Hey, fellow Fortnite fanatics! 🎮 It’s your boy, dropping into the blog zone like it’s Tilted Towers in Season 1. 🏠 Epic Games just rolled out a spicy new update to their anti-cheat system for high-level tournaments, and let me tell you—it’s got the community buzzing like a swarm of chug splashes at a build fight. 🏗️💥

As a gamer who’s been grinding those Victory Royales 🏆 since the early days, I’ve got some thoughts on this. Let’s break it down, squad up, and dive into what this means for us PC players. 👀

🖥️ TPM and Secure Boot: The New Gatekeepers of Competitive Fortnite 🔒

So, here’s the scoop: if you’re a Windows PC player eyeing those high-stakes tourneys—like the ones where the big bucks 💰 and bragging rights are on the line—you’ve got some new hoops to jump through. Epic’s now requiring us to enable something called TPM (Trusted Platform Module) and Secure Boot. 🧐

If you’re like me and your first reaction was, “Uh, what’s that?” 🤔, don’t sweat it—I’ll keep it simple.

🔹 TPM is a chip (or software) in your rig that’s all about security. Think of it like a bouncer at the club 🍾, checking IDs to make sure nothing shady’s sneaking in. 🔹 Secure Boot, meanwhile, is like the lock on your front door—it makes sure your system only boots up with legit, untampered software. 🔑

Epic’s betting on these to lock out cheaters by verifying our hardware’s legit from the ground up. No more wallhacks, aimbots, or whatever garbage those script kiddies are cooking up. 🚫🎯

I’m all for fair play—nothing tilts me more than getting sniped through a wall by some cheater who’s probably still in their mom’s basement. 😤 So, in theory, this is a W. ✅

⚠️ The Catch: “System Requirements Failed” Chaos 💀

But here’s where it gets messy, fam. I hopped onto my rig, enabled TPM and Secure Boot in my BIOS (after a quick Google sesh—thanks, YouTube tutorials 📺), and thought I was golden. Nope. I fired up Fortnite, and bam—“System Requirements Failed.” 🚨

What the heck, Epic? 🤯 I’m not alone either—scroll through X or hit up the Fortnite subreddit, and you’ll see tons of players raging about the same issue. 💀

The community’s been clutch, though. Some legends out there are dropping troubleshooting tips like it’s free loot Friday. 🏆 “Check your BIOS version!” “Update Windows!” “Make sure TPM 2.0 is active, not 1.2!”

It’s a mixed bag—some folks get it working after fiddling around, but others are still stuck. If your rig doesn’t support TPM or Secure Boot, you’re basically locked out of the big leagues. 😬 That’s got some of the community crying foul—fair play’s great, but not if it means leaving half the squad behind. 🤷‍♂️

🚨 The Cheater Crackdown: Lawsuits and Ban Hammers 🛑

Oh, and it’s not just tech changes—Epic’s swinging the ban hammer harder than a maxed-out pickaxe. 🔨💥 They’ve got a new policy: if you get caught cheating, you’re out for a year before you get a second chance. ❌ Sell cheats? No redemption arc for you—permabanned, donezo. 🏴‍☠️

And get this—they’re even talking legal action against cheaters. Imagine getting served papers IRL because you sold some aimbot on a sketchy Discord. 😆 That’s next-level petty, and I’m here for it. 👏

As a gamer, I love this energy. Cheaters ruin the vibe—whether it’s pubs or tourneys—and knowing Epic’s ready to lawyer up feels like justice. ⚖️

💬 The Community’s Split: Hype or Hate? 🤔

The reaction online is wild. Half the community’s hyped—pros and sweats especially. They’re like, “Finally, a level playing field!” 🎯 But the other half? Not so much. 😡

Some casuals are salty about the extra steps, and I get it—why should I have to tweak my BIOS just to drop into a tourney? 😩 Others are worried about system updates breaking stuff down the line. One dude on X was like, “What if Secure Boot bricks my PC after a Windows patch?” Fair point, my guy. 🤷‍♂️

Me? I’m torn. I want cheaters gone as much as the next player, but the rollout’s been bumpy. Epic could’ve given us a heads-up with a tutorial or something—maybe a “How to Not Get Screwed by TPM” blog post. 😅

🏆 Final Thoughts: Worth the Grind? 🎯

So, where do I land? This update’s a step in the right direction for competitive Fortnite. If it keeps the hackers out and lets skill shine, I’m down. ✅ But Epic’s gotta smooth out these tech hiccups—nobody wants to spend an hour in BIOS instead of hitting headshots. 🔫

For now, I’ll keep tweaking my setup and praying the next patch doesn’t break it all over again. 🙏

What about you, squad? Are you vibing with the anti-cheat glow-up, or is it a big L in your book? 👎 Drop your thoughts below, and let’s squad up in the comments. Until then, see you on the Battle Bus—TPM enabled and ready to clutch. 🎮✌️

The biggest fortnite cheat that no one seems to care about...

So one of the biggest cheats you can do in fortnite is to have the FPS rate at 240+.  What exactly does that do? 

Well its pretty simple, it gives smoother mouse movement/performance and a couple of milliseconds advantage vs people who play at 60 FPS or even more at 30 FPS.  You can do more in the same time frame because of all the extra frames. This is why some of the best players are always ahead of others.  All of them know about playing at 240+ FPS, you can generally see the FPS monitor on screen because its just that important.

Here is a screenshot of Tfue with over 290+ FPS.

290 FPS Fortnite

If you are planning to play competitive and do alot of battle royal, your first goal is to get to at least 240 FPS. Get the latest CPU,GPU and a 240 Hz Monitor for starters to be at base minimum equal with everyone else who knows about the FPS cheat.

How to fix epic games launcher sign in error AS-

So today I came across a problem with logging into Fortnite via the epic games launcher.  For whatever reason my login data was removed and I had to re-input both. When I attempted to do that I came across a never ending loop of trying to sign in, pressing the login button and then this sign in failed screen pops up.

Sign in Failed - Error Code: AS-


When I opened up my task manager I noticed one of the processes was being still open even if the launcher was closed out.

UnrealCEFSubProcess

I went ahead with a end task in task manager on "UnrealCEFSubProcess" which was showing up in background processes.  This temporarily fixed the issue of the never ending loop. Then I went to the epic game status page and noticed there is a login issue, which was fixed in around 20 minutes. Once that was done I was able to get back in again.

So this fixed my issue with the sign in error of AS- but if you still have problems here are some additional steps to take as a possible solution.

  • Delete the webcache folder for the epicgameslauncher in localappdata.
  • If this fails to fix, try to reinstall the epic games launcher.
  • Make sure as noted above to end task on any UnrealCEFSubProcess in your task manager.
  • Verify the service is up by going to the epic public status page.

We Hit A Roadblock error

How to fix the "we hit a roadblock" failed to lock profile error on Save the World mode from Fortnite!

So for whatever reason, during this new season of ventures, every time I complete a mission and try to go into another one right away, this error pop up happens.

we hit a roadblock, failed to lock profile

The only way to fix it manually is to restart the game modes or wait for a period of time.  If you keep trying to restart a mission, it will keep doing it and then after 3 times it should work.  Hopefully the developers can fix this issue so it doesn't occur anymore.
