The Last Epoch LE-61 error code was one of the most dreaded error codes in its long early access phase. Unfortunately, it persists through the release of patch 1.0 and continues to plague users across all regions. But what causes this long-standing error code? Read along to find out what the Last Epoch LE-61 'Failed to Matchmake' error code is and how you can fix it.
Last Epoch is one of the most anticipated ARPG titles in the last couple of years, finally bringing a middle ground between the accessibility of Diablo 4 and the mind-boggling depth of Path of Exile. However, to enjoy its hack-and-slash action online, you have to stay logged into the servers. This is what the Last Epoch LE-61 error prevents.
Note: The fixes mentioned in this article are temporary options and may not prove helpful to everyone. However, it is worth attempting.
When does the Last Epoch LE-61 error code happen?
The dreaded Last Epoch "(LE-61) Failed to Matchmake" error code can potentially pop up anytime during the game. Particularly, this has been a problem during the tumultuous launch day of Last Epoch 1.0, and it is certainly related to overall server volatility.
Reportedly, the LE-61 error code usually happens when you try to transition from one map to another. This denies entry from town hubs to fast travel destinations, especially cross-era.
How to fix Last Epoch LE-61 Failed To Matchmake error
The root cause for the LE-61 error code is a connectivity issue. Generally, you should check for planned Last Epoch server maintenance to check if there are any server downtimes. If not, there are some user-end solutions you can try.
Quit the game and log in again
As the error seems to happen often when you fast-travel or teleport back to town, no progress will be lost if you quit the game to retry. Logging out and back into the Last Epoch servers can sometimes remedy this issue and allow you to fast travel freely again.
Try a different server region
Generally, the server with the best ping will be pre-selected for you. However, if you are facing the LE-61 error often, you can try logging out and selecting a different server region from the login menu.
Flush DNS
When all other options are exhausted, you should try to flush your DNS cache to ensure this is not a user-end issue. To do this, run the command prompt in administrator mode and type in ipconfig/flushdns.
If this does not fix the issue, you can also restart your router to recalibrate your connection.
How to fix Last Epoch stuck on connecting error
If Last Epoch is stuck on connecting, can be both a server-end or user-end issue. At any rate, you should log out and log back in if the issue persists after several attempts.
How to fix Last Epoch stuck on loading screen error
Even though it seems like the Last Epoch ‘stuck on loading screen’ error is a problem with memory management or file data integrity, it is often rooted in connectivity issues.
- To make sure whether it is the connection causing this problem, switch to offline mode and try loading an offline character.
- If the issue persists there, you may need to verify file integrity and check for errors.
How to resolve Last Epoch error code LE-13
Last Epoch error code LE-13 essentially locks out of moving to another area or loading into a character, as a new patch or hotfix is being deployed.
- Exit the game, and wait for the patch or hotfix to drop.
How to resolve Last Epoch error code LE-51 ‘an unknown error occurred’
You get this error code mainly when an account registry mismatch happens. This can also happen when trying to load old save files that have version incompatibility with the game.
- This can occasionally be caused by tampering with local save files with Last Epoch save editor. Unfortunately, it is hard to uncook the saves if such is the case, and you will likely not get to play that character.
- After the transition to 1.0, some save files from older versions cannot be made compatible. However, for files last played on newer versions, there may be a fix.
- If you get this from the login/account screen, you may have to submit a support ticket and await technical assistance from the developers.
How to resolve Last Epoch error code LE-65
Similar to LE-61, LE-65 is a connectivity issue. However, it is usually an issue on the user end.
- Disable VPN, if you have any.
- Restart your router.
- Restart Steam.
- Flush DNS through the command prompt.
Last Epoch ‘Online Play Unavailable’ error screen: what to do?
This should generally mean that there are server downtimes. If there is a scheduled server maintenance, you cannot login before this is over.
- Check if the Last Epoch servers are down
- If there are server issues, wait for it to sort itself out.
- If there are no reported server issues, you should try to log in a few times, as brute-forcing sometimes does get you past this hurdle.
- Check for connectivity issues on your end: VPN, router, DNS.
If none of these attempts fix the issue, you may have to wait for the server to sort itself out. Thankfully, Last Epoch has an offline mode you can enjoy without these hassles while you wait.
