Can You Fix “Online Play Unavailable” Error In Last Epoch?
At the moment, there’s no known cause or solution for the “Online Play Unavailable” error in Last Epoch. You simply have to try again and again to get in the queue. After the game’s 1.0 launch, the servers are simply overburdened and can’t seem to handle the massive influx of new players.
Only thing you can do at the moment is restart the game and try logging in again. Follow this process several times and you just might get in. Eleventh Hour Games has announced it is currently working on fixing the server issues and eventually you won’t have to face this error.
