Fortnite crashes with the error “The program“ bad_module_info ”is not working”

In the overwhelming majority, this error occurs due to the update of Windows 10 under the number “1709”. The update was supposed to improve the FPS, as well as all the optimization in games, but good intentions turned out to be the reverse side in the form of the “bad_module_info” error. However, users noticed that in this case, crashes occur most of all with applications that run on the Unreal Engine. A similar bug is found not only in Fortnight, but also in other popular games, for example: PUBG, Blade and Soul, DayZ. At the same time, the frequency of its manifestation is different – some cannot start a video game, while others play in this mode for some time. There are several options for fixing this error.
