The 2016 alpha of Fortnite: Save the World, playable again - missions, outposts, heroes and friends, on a community server.
How to play
Your own copy of the game
You need a Windows PC and your own copy of the OT6.5 build - Fortnite pre-alpha 2016, build 2252016-3240987 (32-bit). This site doesn't host or link the game's files.
Its folder has FortniteGame\Binaries\Win32\FortniteClient-Win64-Shipping.exe inside - that's the one the launcher looks for.
Get the launcher
OT6.5Revive starts your game, connects it to the server and keeps its mod up to date by itself.
It's a small, unsigned app, so Windows may warn you the first time: choose More info then Run anyway. SHA-256 see sha256.txt
Connect and play
- Your game: BROWSE to your copy's game folder.
- The host's server: type
play.ot65revive.comand press TEST CONNECTION. - You: pick a display name (3-16 letters, numbers, - or _). Type a password too if you want the wheel below.
- Press PLAY. Your account is made on the server the first time.
New players start with the tutorial. After that the map has missions - play them alone or with friends from the in-game friends list.

The Wheel
Spin the Director's Chaos wheel on your own mission - husk parties, llama rain, low gravity, giant heroes, moon jumps and more, for everyone in your game. One spin every two minutes.
Sign in with your launcher name and the password you typed in the launcher's password box (v0.3.5 or newer - type one, press PLAY once, and it's set).
Only works while the servers are online - and you are in a mission.
Open the wheel
Questions
Is this official?
No. OT6.5 Revive is a non-commercial fan preservation project for a 2016 build that Epic no longer runs. It isn't affiliated with or endorsed by Epic Games.
Why is the server sometimes offline?
It runs in sessions rather than all day. The banner at the top of this page shows when the servers are next open, and the status light below it shows whether they're up right now.
Do I need an Epic Games account?
No. Your account lives on this server; the launcher makes it the first time you press PLAY.
Is my progress kept?
Yes - heroes, schematics, outposts and quests are saved on the server between sessions.
TEST CONNECTION says something is wrong
Check the address is exactly play.ot65revive.com and that the light above is green. If the server is up but the game can't join a mission, wait a minute - a mission server may be starting.
Windows Firewall asked about the game
Allow it: the game talks to the mission server over UDP.
