It's always those pesky errors...

The LE:13 error appears when first loading up the game, listed as “Game login failed. [LE:13]”. This error implies an issue connecting to The First Descendant servers, meaning there’s a network issue either on your end or on Nexon’s servers. The first thing you should try is restarting your game, as some players have reported this immediately working. If that doesn’t work, then you should try restarting your device and your router as either could be having issues in general. You can also test another online game if you have one installed since those should be working fine if your connection is fine.

If you do all that and it still isn’t working, then it’s likely an error on Nexon’s end. The game was only just released a few days ago, so the servers haven’t been put under much stress to test their effectiveness. This is fairly normal for any online game and merely requires some patience on your end. If you want to be sure it’s not you, you can always check The First Descendant’s social media pages to see if anything has been noted regarding downtime. As one example, a lot of people are reporting login issues as we’re publishing this article. The chances of this being on everyone else’s end are infinitely slim.
