How to play Last Epoch in offline mode?

Last era‘S offline mode is a great option if you are tired of fighting with the game’s servers. However, offline mode presents some additional issues depending on how you want to play the game.

In this Last era guide we will show you what offline mode is and tell you how to play offline.

What is offline mode? Last era?

Offline mode enabled Last era is exactly what it sounds like: you can play the game without having to connect to the servers. This is great if the game’s servers experience instability (as was common in the immediate aftermath of the late February 1.0 release). It is also a useful tool if you do not have internet access for an extended period of time.

However, offline mode limits you in some very serious ways. Most noticeably, Offline mode is a permanent decision you make when creating characters. You can’t switch a character online or offline; an offline character is offline forever. That means you can never use that character to play in groups with others.

When it comes to activating offline mode, you have two options.

First you can start the game in offline mode. This is an option you can select when you press play on Steam. Playing offline this way means you can bypass the login at first, but you won’t be able to switch between the two modes without restarting the game.

The other option is a little more convenient, but requires an internet connection when you first start the game. In the character selection screen, you will see an offline switch at the top left of the screen. Simply toggle that switch to “offline” and you will see your list of offline characters. If you enable offline mode this way, you can still use the in-game chat feature to talk to friends, assuming you have an internet connection.
