Last Epoch Error Code LE-52, explained

Errors are a fact of any computer program, and Last Epoch is no exception. Error LE-52 is a fairly common one that typically appears when there’s a problem looking in. So, pop the hood, and let’s take a look at this error of yours.

Here is exactly what the error says

“[LE-52] Can’t connect to login server, please check your internet connection. If the issue persists, please visit support.lastepoch.com for further assistance.”

What causes error LE-52 in Last Epoch

Error LE-52 has a very specific meaning, but a less cause in Last Epoch. The short of it is that the game client cannot contact the login server. This could mean a lot of things.

The simplest cause would be that your system is not connected to the internet. There are many ways to test for this, like ensuring you can browse the internet. It’s the most likely reason, but probably the one most people would know about first.

The next most obvious cause is that Last Epoch’s login servers are down. Whether this is due to an incident or if they’re just down for maintenance, it doesn’t matter. It means the servers aren’t available and you can, as the error says, not contact them. This has, most recently, happened before the new season since the servers were down for 24 hours beforehand.

Beyond these simple explanations, there are a lot of murkier ones. If you’re connected to a VPN, that can sometimes cause issues. There might be a DNS issue, which depends on if you’re connected through your ISP’s default DNS server or if you’ve manually set one. It could be a firewall problem if the security on your network (or computer) is set very high.

Basically, anything that affects your connection to the internet or its routing can cause the error.

How do you fix error LE-52 in Last Epoch

Fixing error LE-52 in Last Epoch can be similarly less straightforward. It’s usually very specific to your setup.

Your first step, however, should be to check if the servers for Last Epoch are even functioning. Unfortunately, Eleventh Hour Games doesn’t have a dedicated site tracking the status of the servers. Instead, you’ll need to look around. My advice would be to first check Last Epoch’s Twitter account for quick announcements from the developer. Next would be the announcement forum for announcements of any scheduled downtime. Finally, you can check Last Epoch’s subreddit to see if other players are having the same issue.

After you’ve established that the servers are up, here are some basic suggestions.

• Reboot. This is always, always a good first step to troubleshooting. I know it sounds lame, but it fixes a lot of random problems.
• Ensure your system is connected to the internet. If you’re reading this on the same system you play Last Epoch on, that’s a good sign.
• Disconnect from any VPN you’re using and try again.
• Temporarily disable antivirus or firewall programs.

Once we get past these tips, things get very environment-specific. There could be an issue with your operating system, it’s possible that it’s a DNS or routing issue, and you might have a hardware firewall through your modem or router. The possibility is just as good that none of these are the case. As such, it’s difficult for me to give advice based on a near-infinite number of possible variants.

The key to troubleshooting is to try one thing at a time. Otherwise, you can also search online for other players who are having the same issue, as they might be able to suggest something that worked for them that might apply to your situation. If you’re completely stuck, then it’s time to visit support.lastepoch.com, and look for a contact form. They’ll be able to examine logs to narrow down where the problem is occurring.
