Some players have reported getting the LE-65 error while using a VPN, so you may also want to turn your VPN off, restart the game, and try connecting to the nearest server again.

Restarting the game and attempting to connect again is generally the first thing you should do. Making sure that you have the latest version of Last Epoch is another easy solution to try when running into errors of any kind.

Verifying your Last Epoch installation is the next step you can take whenever the game doesn’t work as expected. To do this, right-click on the game in your Steam library, select Properties, go to Installed Files and then click Verify integrity of game files. This may take a bit, but it will fix any issues with corrupted game files on your PC.

If all of the above solutions fail, you can always try playing Last Epoch in offline mode, but this means you will have to create an offline character and start over as your online progress and characters won’t be available.
