How to Fix ESP-BUIMET-003 Error in Fortnite

Are you getting an ESP-BUIMET-003 error code in Fortnite or Epic Games?

The error message can happen on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation consoles.

If you’re experiencing the error code, it probably means that the Fortnite servers are down.

You can check this by going to status.epicgames.com, Twitter, or Down Detector.

However, if the servers are not down, there are a few troubleshooting methods that you can try.

In this guide, you’ll learn how to fix the ESP-BUIMET-003 error code in Fortnite or Epic Games on PC, PlayStation, or Xbox.

To fix ESP-BUIMET-003 in Fortnite, you need to first check the Epic Games Server Status if all systems are operational.

If some systems are not operational or Fortnite is under maintenance, you need to wait for a few hours before you can play.

Otherwise, you can try changing your DNS servers to the Google Public DNS.

Search for “Control Panel” using Windows Search and open it.
Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center > Connections (e.g. Ethernet).
Select “Properties” and double-click “Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4).
Enable “Use the following DNS server addresses”.
Enter “8.8.8.8” as the preferred DNS server.
Enter “8.8.4.4” as the alternate DNS server.
Select “OK”, open the Epic Games Launcher, and try signing in to it.
