Just bought the game today, played for about 4 hours. Level 18. Now when I ever i try to switch zones I get infinite load screen, or straight up disconnected from server. I am at start of chapter 3. When I log back in, sends me to “end of time” area, I can go to town hub from there… but next zone switch is infinite load screen or disconnect.
This Discord thread contains a list of things to try for players having Connection or Server Stability issues - Discord
Here’s the copy/paste for those without a Discord account -
Changing your Server on the Log-in screen
Using a VPN has proved helpful for many players. If you do not have the ability to purchase a VPN, Cloudflare Warp is a free VPN that has been tested by the community.
If Cloudflare Warp fails to work, some players a have reported success using Proton VPN instead.
Sometimes a VPN will block players from connecting, please turn your VPN off to see if this is the issue.
(Free) SG TCP Optimizer is a program that many players have also found helpful when experiencing these issues. This Youtube video can help you set it up if you need it.
(Free Trial) Exitlag has also helped some players
Contacting your ISP may also be a useful option as it has been found many providers have a block on certain items.
Adjust your DNS settings
Check to see if your Firewall has an exception for Last Epoch
Please use https://gcping.com/ to see if your IP is being affected by Google Cloud
Check ISP for local issues connecting to services
If none of the above prove helpful, please know that the team is working on a solution. It may also be helpful to reach out to our Support Team as they may be able to provide further help.
Instantly lose connection when attempting to join a party instance (kinda the reason I got the game, to play with a friend).
I might get to play 2 or 3 zones no problem, then something bugs out. I can reconnect from character select, friend sees me in party still even though I’m not, I re-invite to party (they cannot invite me), attempt to teleport, LOST CONNECTION.
I just got rid of the Lost Connection Errors by switching the cable to another network adapter. Fortunately my MSI Board has two Network adapters. Both are Realtek adapters and they seem to use the exact same driver. the only difference is one (the working one) is a 2.5gbit adapter (1Gbit negotiated) and the other one is a 1gbit adapter.
Driver Version: 10.68.815.2023
Can anyone with at least two network adapters confirm that workaround?
New player and dealing with this crap. It was random, but now I cannot continue the quest because I cannot zone into “The Summit” without disconnecting. If I wasn’t over my 2 hours I would refund.
My game has started crashing constantly. When loading a new map and even when on a map and halfway through. Was fine until yesterday I’d say. Not using a VPN.
