"An error occured" is not much of an improvement though. To me, it sounds like "A thing went wrong", with some specifity implied, but in the end the speaker withholds the information from you (perhaps because they have no idea themselves). A more concrete example would actually tell me what went wrong, so that I can try to solve it, or it would give me a lead to get some help (like some reference I can take to the support channel to get help with my issue).
