There is currently a bug in Fortnite Battle Royale, which prevents you from joining a party and prevents people in your party from inviting other people (as long as you are the party leader).
The error gives you the following message:
Failed to join party
You must finish downloading all content before joining a party
Example screenshot below
How to fix the error
It is actually pretty simple to fix the error. This is only tested on PC though.
- Restart the Fortnite client and the launcher.
- Verify your files through the launcher (click on the gear wheel next to “Launch” button and click “Verify”).
- Go to the Fortnite options in the launcher and make sure you have “Save the world” content downloaded.
The error should be fixed now.
If this did not work for you, or you have another solution, then please post it in the comments.
Worked, thank you!!!
I can’t find the “save the world” content downloaded option, can you provide more specific orders or maybe some screenshots?
Click the gear wheel right next to the “Launch” button, then choose “Options”.

Hmm that is weird
I’ve verified it but when I click the gear wheel it still doesn’t come up withthe “options” option.
This didn’t work for me. I have Save the World content and I have verified, but still get the “you must finish downloading… ” etc. error.
I’m trying to download even the extra languages just incase. I’ll let you know if it works
EDIT: worked for me, I installed the language packages, verified, restarted the launcher and it worked
dude what about console i cant launch the missions because i have to download the contents but when i put update nothing happens
it didnt have the options button help?
