Something does not work?

The usual problems and their fix.

No chest is counted

• Check that Record Replays is on in Fortnite (Settings → Game → Replays): only matches played after that are saved.
• A match is counted a few seconds after it ends: Fortnite locks the replay until then.
• Only Battle Royale matches are counted (not Creative, LEGO or Festival).
• In the app, the Replays card of Settings must say Folder found.

The overlay does not show in game

• Set Fortnite to Windowed Fullscreen (Settings → Video → Window Mode): Windows cannot draw anything over exclusive fullscreen.
• Press Ctrl+Shift+O to show or hide it, and check that it is on in the app (Settings → Overlay).

"Windows protected your PC"

• The exe is not signed (a signature costs money): click More info, then Run anyway.
• The code is public and the exe is built by GitHub from that code.

My antivirus blocks it

• A brand-new exe is sometimes flagged by mistake. Check the file on VirusTotal (link on the home page), then add an exception if you are sure.

The page of the app does not open

• The app waits next to the clock: click the chest icon in the taskbar corner (look under the small arrow).
• Or run FortniteChestTracker.exe again: it opens the page of the copy already running.

My numbers differ from the in-game quest

• The quest counter of the game stops at 1,000 chests. Chest Tracker counts every chest you open or break in the matches whose replay was saved.
• Matches played before replays were turned on can be estimated in the app (Settings → Older matches).

New PC: how do I keep my history?

• Copy the folder %APPDATA%\FortniteChestTracker from the old PC to the same place on the new one, before the first start.
