Season 2 of Last Epoch is finally live and from the reception it has received, it’s easy to say that it has been a success. The game saw a huge rise in its player base post the Season 2 launch and with each day, more and more players are joining in on the fun. After the launch of Season 2, 2 hotfix updates have also been launched that have fixed certain issues in the game. However, what wasn’t fixed is the Unity Error 2021.3.42f1_f1197811e8ce that causes the game to crash and restricts players from logging into the game. That said, if you too are encountering the same issue, this is just the guide you need, as we have shared a bunch of workarounds for you to try. Here’s everything you need to know.
Given that the game has been live for almost 5 years, this issue hadn’t occurred before the Season 2 update went live. So, it is obvious that this is a new problem post the Season 2 launch. Many players have reported the same stating that only after the recent updates, the Unity error has occurred on their system, resulting in crashes and them being unable to play the game. So, now you might be wondering whether the developers know about this issue. Well, there is good news and bad news. More details are shared below.

Last Epoch Unable to Log In Due to Unity Error: How to fix it
The good news is that the developers are indeed aware of the Unity crash error in Last Epoch and have stated that they are currently investigating it. This means that an official fix is on the horizon. The bad news, on the other hand, is that there is no update on when such an update will be released. It can be a few hours, a few days, or even a week. So, while waiting for an official fix, here are some workarounds worth trying:
Restart
Obviously a PC restart is what we will recommend you to try first. Start by restarting your PC if you are encountering this issue. After this, launch the game to check. If it persists, then try the next workaround.
Verify Game File Integrity
Maybe the issue is occurring due to a corrupted game file. To rule out this possibility, you will need to verify the game files via Steam. To do this, go to Steam, open Library, and then right-click on Last Epoch. After this, select Properties, and then in the Installed Files tab, select the Verify Integrity of Game Files option. Once the scan commences, wait for it to be completed. Now, launch the game to check whether the issue persists.
Update GPU Drivers
This workaround has been reported by the developers for players who are encountering the Unity crash while launching the game. So, depending on the GPU you have, visit the official website of Nvidia or AMD and then download the latest GPU drivers for your specific GPU model. Once done, install the drivers and then restart your PC. Now, launch the game.
Update BIOS
While this is a tricky fix, if you know your way to your system’s BIOS settings and this is not your first time, we recommend that you try updating your system’s BIOS and then launch the game. Chances are that with an updated BIOS, the Unity crash in Last Epoch will not occur. Several players tried the same and it worked for them.
Reinstall
If none of the workarounds have been of help, consider reinstalling the game. You will need to make sure that no residual game files are present on your PC after uninstalling the game. Only then, reinstall it and check whether the crashing issue persists.
With that said, these are the workarounds we have for now that might help you fix the Unity crash issue in Last Epoch. If you find this guide informative, consider visiting DigiStatement for more such interesting reads on all things gaming.
