#Fortniteriyadh @FortniteStatus @FNCompetitive Fortnite players across the Middle East and MENA region have been experiencing ongoing server issues for over 5 days without any effective resolution. Most players are currently facing 140 ping due to being routed to distant servers such as India — a location that does not align geographically or regionally with the area, nor reflect the size of its player base. This creates a clearly unfair competitive environment, especially in a game where performance depends heavily on low latency and stable connections. With major tournaments like FNCS, as well as regional events such as the Saudi eSports League offering prize pools of up to 320,000 SAR, competing under these conditions places players at a significant disadvantage and directly impacts results. In contrast, Riot Games addressed this issue in VALORANT by deploying dedicated servers in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, resulting in a major reduction in ping and a clear improvement in performance and overall gameplay experience across the region. Despite the availability of infrastructure in Saudi Arabia and continued expansion in other regions, Middle East players continue to face the same issues without meaningful improvement. Routing an entire region to distant servers under these conditions is unjustified. We urge Epic Games to follow this proven approach by introducing dedicated servers in Riyadh. This would significantly reduce latency, ensure competitive fairness, and improve the experience for all players across the region.
