When a a problem like the Meltdown vulnerability is discovered and companies (in this case Intel) scramble to fix it, it's possible computer users will feel some fallout for a bit. After all, software companies will need to make changes to their products to accommodate the changes. So, it shouldn't be a surprise if some of our favorite games -- such as Fortnite -- experience issues.

Since Epic Games uses cloud services to run the back-end for the game, they're currently dealing with the fallout caused by updates designed to deal with the Meltdown issue. In fact, it's caused enough of a problem for the team that they felt the need to explain it to players.

Hopefully things will level out soon.
