The Application Hang Detected Error in Fortnite occurs when the game becomes unresponsive or freezes, typically due to issues with system resources, software conflicts, or corrupted files. Below are the common causes and explanations:

1. Insufficient System Resources

If your PC lacks enough memory (RAM) or CPU resources, Fortnite may freeze during gameplay or loading. This is common when running the game on low-end systems or with multiple background applications open.
2. Corrupted Game Files

Damaged or missing game files can prevent Fortnite from functioning correctly, leading to the application hanging or crashing.

3. Outdated Graphics Drivers

Running outdated or incompatible GPU drivers can cause rendering issues, leading to the game freezing or becoming unresponsive.

4. Conflicting Background Applications

Third-party applications such as overlay software (e.g., Discord, NVIDIA GeForce Experience) or antivirus programs can interfere with Fortnite’s performance.

5. Overheating or Hardware Issues
Overheating of the GPU or CPU during intense gameplay can cause the game to hang. Similarly, failing hardware components may result in performance issues.
