I am experiencing huge crash rate in the latest update of 18.8.1 in fortnite and not in any other games whenever I try to play the game it stucks in the lobby or mid game and the whole system freezes which is very irritating because I have to force shutdown my system which can also lead to os corruption. Plz AMD fix this issue as EPIC says its a driver issue and I don't know whos issue is this but in the last update ur release notes said it's been fixed but it's not plz create a hotfix for mobile devices as well.
A lot of the user are experiencing this. waiting for the next patch 
--- UPDATE ---
FORTNITE NOT WORKING ON RECENT AMD UPDATE.
18.3.3 does not work. Did a clean install using DDU. Middle screen flicker. Played 4 matches and rebooted in every one of them, the last reboot turned out to be a boot loop and i had to clean Cmos and reset system.
Runing a XFX r9 290. Even with the minimum quality gameplay with turning everything off, it does not simply run and crashes. Turned XMP off for the memory that was running 2933mhz to 2100mhz turning off overclock does not help either.
--- PAST TESTING ---
Confirmed 18.8.1 does not work.
Previously 18.7.1 driver update doesn't work.
Rolling down to 18.6.1 doesn't work.
18.3.3 does not work.
Fortnite seems has fixed the issue ( but im not sure if is really fixed so ) .
i dont know what is the dll but it's like that . so yes fortnite has found the file they crash you games . so try agains if you crash or you freeze
tip . if you has a freeze do ctrl + windows + d . that will make a deskop virtually and they will close you games . after you deconnected you account and reconnect and you games has closed 
but i dont know if in any pc like win 7 this tip work . if they dont work spamming ctrl +tab + delete ( for open advanced options like open task manager for close the games in applications ) or ctrl + tab ( to try to go on chrome ) or f11 to get out fullscreen
driver 18.8.1 fixed ?
this is the launching info but i dont know what is the dll fortnite has blocked . but i know this beggining an amd

Get some new friends 
We can go on forever with this, but you are doing something wrong. Either your settings in-game are too high, you didn't disconnect from the internet, you didn't disable your anti-virus, your laptop is not set to "Performance" (and is set at 'balanced'), you don't have the discrete card selected for the game (switchable graphics), or some simple thing.
Clean Install AMD Graphics Drivers
Laptop graphics update...How to
DDU has new instructions..make sure you have the latest version
** Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 must be fully updated before attempting to install any AMD driver. All 'critical', 'recommended', and 'optional' (no language packs,etc) updates as well as any Service Packs (SP) must be installed before any attempt to install graphics drivers. If you do not get this message .... keep installing until you do:
that will not fix my issue unfortunately 
Are you guys not having issue in fortnite ?
i will upload a video if u want showing the crash
mh, no need to upload video
its a know bug
40% on AMD & 40% on Fortnite & 20% on MS
you can try to find a working driver - but i think they have a driver version test.
i would suggest to use 17.6.2 or 17.6.1 and change its version number to 18.8.1 - and than patch checksum 
CAN work - but there is no tool for that yet
This is the error that i got today playing fortnite in 18.4.1
Hello,
Fortnite is very definitely running very well for me on Windows 10 64bit.
Can you please run the following checks.
1. Verify the game installation.
Once the game installation has been verified:
2. Open the Epic Launcher and click on Troubleshoot in lower RHS of the menu. 
Please post an image to this thread showing what the Troubleshoot report shows.
Here is what mine shows this morning:
and scrolling down:
My troubleshooter reports Minimum Requirements as follows:
CPU: 2 cores
RAM: 4GB GPU: Radeon 9000
OS: Windows 7 or higher.
Bye.
Bro i have i7 8 core 2gb ati 8600m and 12gb ram but ill still upload the image of troubleshoot and i have verified as well as reinstalled fortnite 2/3 times !
just editing DriverVersion (or was it ReleaseVersion?) strings in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E968-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\0000
should do it - even without patching
