Fortnite players are facing widespread frustration as servers remain offline for the highly anticipated Simpsons mini-season update, with errors like "Profile Query Failed" and "Failed to Download Supervised Settings" blocking logins.
Fortnite experienced a massive outage amid The Simpsons update (X)

The downtime began at 11:30 AM ET on Saturday, on Saturday, following the "Welcome, Our Alien Overlords" live event featuring Kang and Kodos. Epic Games confirmed the outage, attributing it to the major v38.00 patch introducing Springfield-themed content, a new Battle Pass, cel-shaded graphics, and skins for Homer, Marge, Bart, and Lisa. Maintenance is expected to last several hours.
The "Profile Query Failed" error, which kicks players to the login screen, typically occurs due to server changes post-downtime or a mismatched system version, as noted in Epic's support page. Similarly, "Failed to Download Supervised Settings" signals a connectivity issue where the game can't fetch parental or account configs, often fixed by quick troubleshooting.
