Common Issues Faced by The First Descendant Players
- Network Error: This is one of the common errors in most online games. It may result in disconnections, lag, or the inability to log in to the game. To resolve it, check the current server status and ensure no internet connection issue. A poor or unstable connection can cause this error. You can try resetting your router or modem. You can also try switching the connection from WiFi to Wired for a more stable and reliable connection.
- Infinite Loading Screen: An infinite loading screen occurs when the game cannot load properly, and players are stuck in a never-ending loading process. This issue can occur due to server-related issues, a poor or unstable internet connection, or corrupted game files. So, again, ensure that the game server is up and running fine. Check your internet connection and resolve connectivity-related issues or verify the integrity of game files on Steam.
- Error [LE:13] – The Game Login Failed” is a standard error many players report. Usually, this error appears when there are some issues on the server side. When you receive this error, the only thing you can do is check the current server status of the game. If the server is down, wait patiently until its services are back online, and the error will be fixed automatically.
- Crashing During Shader Compilation: Some PC users are experiencing crashes when trying to launch the game. The best workaround is to keep retrying until the game successfully compiles the shaders and launches.
