How to Fix Stuck on Connecting in Last Epoch
You cannot do much to fix the stuck on connecting error as this problem lies at their server end. Before you try playing with any settings the first thing that you can do is check their server status. If they are down then it is better you wait.
- Check Last Epoch Twitter: You can check out the game’s official Twitter account at @LastEpoch to get updates on the server’s current status. If they are down then you pretty much can’t do anything. Check if they are unavailable due to an outage or for maintenance. If it is for the latter, then they might have some schedule updated on when the servers can be back online. As for the case of an outage, it won’t resolve unless they fix it.
