Getting stuck on the loading screen in Last Epoch is a known issue, especially during peak hours and after the recent launch. Here are a few things you can try to get past it:
Basic troubleshooting:
Restart: A simple restart of the game and your computer can often resolve temporary glitches.
Check for updates: Make sure you have the latest game updates and graphics card drivers installed.
Verify game file integrity: This checks for any corrupted game files and repairs them if necessary. You can usually do this through your game launcher (like Steam).
Advanced troubleshooting:
Change server region: If you’re playing online, try switching to a different server region with lower load.
Disable anti-virus: Temporarily disable your antivirus software to see if it’s interfering with the game. Remember to re-enable it afterward.
Adjust graphics settings: Try lowering your in-game graphics settings to reduce the load on your system.
Reinstall the game: If all else fails, you might need to reinstall the game as a last resort.
