Troubleshooting Game Softlocks in Last Epoch: Community Feedback

As a dedicated Last Epoch player, I can relate to the frustration and disappointment that comes with encountering recurrent game softlocks. Recently, I’ve experienced this issue myself, twice within a single gaming session – once resulting in an inability to receive loot and another time forcing me to close the game entirely.


In Last Epoch and other games, encountering multiple softlocks can be extremely frustrating. Lately, a Reddit thread initiated debate about a glitch leading to disconnections and softlocks during gameplay.
