Is Last Epoch down? Server status, planned downtime, and more

Are the Last Epoch servers down right now? Knowing about Last Epoch server status and any planned downtimes beforehand is important for playing online characters. The title is an exception to live-service ARPGs in that it does have an offline mode, but those characters cannot be played online.

If the Last Epoch servers are down, on the other hand, you cannot access any of your online characters. On top of this, playing through server maintenance periods brings the risk of forced logouts and potentially losing some progress and drops.

Are the Last Epoch servers down right now?

Per the latest reports, Last Epoch servers are currently up and running.

During the release of Last Epoch 1.0, there were server-wide login issues, especially for European users - despite a 24-hour server maintenance phase before it.

Update: Last Epoch server issues at launch have been mostly fixed. The problem with high load times from one map to another has also been addressed, and you should have a stable online experience now.

As per the latest official Discord post from the developers on February 25, 2024:

“If you are encountering "online play unavailable" at character selection this is currently misleading. The servers are not down but it may take more than one attempt to assign a game server.”

How to check Last Epoch server status

The best way to check if Last Epoch's down right now is to look for official sources. Even though there is no centralized official live server status tracker, you can check the socials:

• Planned server maintenance periods will be notified on Last Epoch's X page.
• If you are on Last Epoch's official Discord, check the News tab for any known server disturbances.

Sometimes, even though the Last Epoch servers are technically functional, there will be issues such as long load times, failure to load up a character, or long transition time between maps.

If these problems persist despite no indication that the Last Epoch servers are down, there are some user-end solutions you can try. Generally, these are the same first-aid solutions as a connectivity-related Last Epoch error code.

Restart Last Epoch

• Logging out and then logging back in may reduce some issues.
• Choose a different region. Even though it may be an area with a higher ping, it might just work!

Troubleshoot Connectivity

• Restart your router.
• Go to Command Prompt in Administrator mode and enter 'ipconfig /flushdns'
