How to Fix Stuck on Loading Screen in Last Epoch
Being stuck on the loading screen in Last Epoch is a common issue that has been happening to players ever since the official launch on February 21st. This is a result of the overloaded servers and it is not a problem that you have to fix on your end.
While the server issues have been slowly improving over time, they are still present during peak times, especially on weekends. There are a few workarounds that you can try in order to get past the loading screen in the game:
- Change Server Region: Many players have been able to play the game by switching their region. If you are playing during peak times in Europe, switching to any US-based servers might get you into the game. The time zone difference will allow you to play in a region where it might still be during the morning hours of the day.

- Restart the Game: As the loading screen bug seems to go on forever, it's a good idea to restart the game and try again. Some players have been able to get into the game by doing this a few times over the weekend.
- Wait For Some Time: All of the major issues that are preventing players from logging in are a result of server issues. Waiting a few hours will allow the developers to make improvements to the stability, which will eventually allow you to play the game. Avoiding peak hours is also smart, as the game seems quite stable during the morning and afternoon.
That is everything you need to know about the infinite loading screen bug in Last Epoch. While there are a few tricks you can try to get into the game, you are going to be at the mercy of the developers for the most part. We are sure that in a couple of days, all of the issues will be ironed out, and the game will be in a stable state for everyone to enjoy.
