What causes error LE-52 in Last Epoch
Error LE-52 has a very specific meaning, but a less common cause inLast Epoch. The short version is that the game client cannot contact the login server through internet connection issues or a server-side problem following a major update.
Here is exactly whatLast Epoch’serror LE-52 looks like:
“[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.”
The most common cause is a recent update causing the game’s servers to overload. This situation occurs during content updates such asLast Epoch’sFebruary 2024 1.0 release or its April 2025 Season 2 overhaul. This typically happens before new seasons since the servers go down for 24 hours beforehand. When it’s a server-side issue, the only solution is to wait for the servers to relax or for Eleventh Hour Games to release a hotfix to address it.
Another potential cause is 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 a common reason, but probably the one most people would know about first.
Beyond these simple explanations, there are many murkier ones. If you’re connected to a VPN, that can sometimes cause issues. There might be a DNS issue, depending on whether 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.
In short, anything that affects your internet connection or its routing can cause the error.
How to fix error LE-52 in Last Epoch
Fixing error LE-52 inLast Epochcan be similarly less straightforward. It’s usually very specific to your setup. The main solution is to wait for the game’s servers to settle if a content update has recently launched.
That’s right. Your first step is to check if theservers forLast Epochare online. Unfortunately, Eleventh Hour Games doesn’t have a dedicated site tracking the status of the servers. Instead, you’ll need to look aroundLast Epoch’sTwitter accountfor quick announcements from the developer orthe announcement forumfor announcements of any scheduled downtime. Finally, you’re able to checkLast Epoch’ssubredditto see if other players are having the same issue.
After you’ve established that the servers are up, here are some basic suggestions.
Once we get past these tips, things get very environment-specific. There could be an issue with your operating system, such as 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 visitsupport.lastepoch.com, and look for a contact form. They’ll be able to examine logs to narrow down where the problem is occurring.
