[2023] Cannot enter game with offline characters

Sorry about this. Could you provide a player log from a session where you attempted to enter game on an offline character?

A possible fix may be to try verifying the integrity of game files. In your Steam library, right click Last Epoch → Local Files → Verify integrity of game files
Let me know if that reports any files needing to be replaced, or addresses the problem.

If the issue persists, uploading your character saves could also help us try to reproduce the problem. The Saves folder for offline characters is in the same location as the player log, so you can zip the entire Saves folder and upload it.
