Data Hoarder

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

I've seen many archiving projects of old versions of popular games (the best example is Omniarchive that's archiving old Minecraft versions), except Fortnite. When I see Fortnite Archiving projects, they're dead or very small.

More than 50% of old Fortnite versions are lost. Which is so unreal to me. Some of the lost versions we're talking about were released during when Fortnite was very popular. (For example: 4.4 build, released in 2018.) "Most wanted" builds are before Battle Royale.

So, I am asking here. If you have any build that isn't listed here, please DM me here.

Does it even launch if the servers don't exist anymore?

There are projects such as Project Era that allows you to play old Multiplayer or Singeplayer.
