Excited players are eager to dive into Last Epoch, the latest hack-and-slash roleplaying game. However, their enthusiasm is dampened by an unexpected obstacle: the “Online Play Unavailable” error message.
Similar to other ARPG titles, Last Epoch supports multiplayer for parties of up to four, facilitating the clearing of dungeons teeming with enemies. Initially, the game only offered single-player gameplay, but all activities achievable in a group can also be tackled solo.
Thankfully, there’s a straightforward method to bypass the troublesome “Online Play Unavailable” error code, although it does come with a caveat.
How can I fix Online Play Unavailable error in Last Epoch?
Upon logging into Last Epoch, encountering the “Online Play Unavailable” error message can be frustrating. The message reads: “Online Play Unavailable. Check for news about multiplayer updates or outages. Contact support if this persists.”
Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to resolve the issue:
- Launch the game.
- In the launcher, beneath region and chat language, choose to play either online or offline.
- Select Offline.
- If already logged in online, switch to offline mode in the top left of the screen.
Prior to playing offline, it’s important for players to understand that transferring characters between online and offline servers isn’t feasible. Characters started offline cannot be used on an online server later, and vice versa.
Offline and online servers in Last Epoch offer the same content. However, online-exclusive features include global chat, trade options, grouping capabilities, leaderboards, and cosmetic items.
