I wanted to check the game again after not playing it for a couple of months before the 1.1.1 update dropped. On July 5th, to be precise.
Got the LE-52 error.
Thought nothing of it, assumed other people had the same idea and servers were just overburdened, didn’t bother looking up the error code.
Ever since then I haven’t been able to log in.
I’ve tried
- resetting my router,
- disabled/enabled VPN,
- cleared firewall rules,
- flushed DNS,
- reinstalled the game,
- restarted the PC,
- Windows even updated itself even though I prevented it from doing that.
I’ve reported it on steam forums, checked the guides, checked PCGamingWiki, checked support forums, googled left and right, still no solution.
On a side note, I’ve been unable to log into my Synology NAS DSM web interface since around the same time. I can access it as a mounted network drive, but not the interface. The symptoms and suggested solutions appear similar.
Hope this might help you home in on the problem.
