Fortnite crashing

[DB255]

I used to never have this problem but with the new chapter 5 my fps is fine but I think it is when loads of particles come it crashes straight away) It freezes and a few seconds later closes. I am on intel core i3-4170 with HD Graphics 4400. I have tried all the methods I have seen online and I think I have the latest drivers. I get more stable fps now after downloading the drivers but it hasn’t helped my crashing issue. This is new in chapter 5.

game settings: 

resolution: 1280 x 720

3d res : 20%

everything else on low

it usually happens in battle royal after the new things have been added. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Your Intel Core i3-4170 with HD Graphics 4400 might struggle with the increased particle effects in the new Chapter 5 update. Try lowering your resolution further or reducing 3D resolution to alleviate the strain on your system.
