ESP Buimet 003 error code causes and fixes for Fortnite

The ESP Buimet 003 error code is mainly known to pop up when players are booting in from the game’s title screen. However, this may not be the fault of your internet. By all appearances, the code is only displayed when the application is having trouble connecting to the game’s server, and it is primarily an issue many players face all at once.

Your first course of action when looking to remove the error should be to close the game entirely and open it once more. This can help dissolve any bugs that are in the way of you and Fortnite’s servers. However, if it continues to pop up, it is recommended you completely shut off the console and then unplug it for about a minute. Once that’s done, it can be turned on once more to see if the code still appears.
