Updated with possible fix for some that has been tested by real players and not some blog ctrl+c/v
There is what appears to be the reason behind the error and how one could get around the problem in the comments.
Check first section under disclaimer
Anyone think we can get some feedback from any admin or mods on the forums?
I and a few others have been experiencing this error code ( W0x9-SPELPWP1P2PT / W0x9-SPCLPWP1P2NT ) every single time my game crashes. I experience this crash and error code roughly every hour of game play since the BEGNINING of the head start.
^Happened again 1 hour after my last crash after repairing/updating my Easy Anti Cheat
^Mine
^A friend of mine who plays on a different server
I have done some reading into this to look for a solution. It appears to me like this has been an on going problem for a handful of players for a long time across all versions of this game. I’m not sure why I am the only one to be experiencing this in my house when both my self and my partner are using the exact same PC, hardware, anti-virus, software/driver updates, and ethernet connection.
It appears this has been going on for a long time for all versions of the game, here are a few attempts others have made to solve this issue. To me it appears that there might not even be a solution.
DUE TO THE FACT THAT THERE IS NO SUPPORT FOR THIS ISSUE I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH A FEW PEOPLE WHO HAVE REACHED OUT TO ME TO MAYBE FIND SOMETHING THAT DOES WORK. WE DO NOT KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THIS ERROR MEANS BUT WE HAVE A SOLUTION THAT HAS WORKED FOR ALL OF US. THERE IS A DOWN SIDE SINCE IT’S BASICALLY A WORK AROUND BUT I HOPE THIS WORKS FOR EVERYONE
DISCLAIMER: These may or may not work for you but I have yet to meet anyone where any of these links have worked them.
The following solution is the result of a few individuals who do not want to be mentioned and have agreed with me to share this information
If you are playing Lost Ark while connected to the internet using an Ethernet Cable you may want to check if your cable is 100% fine. There might be an old kink, your cable connection might not be sending information as steadily as you think it does. We had found that we were all losing data when sending information. It could have just been our network service since even changing out the cable didn’t solve this. We tried new cables and got a longer connection to the server that lasted for two to three hours, but that wasn’t good enough. This wasn’t a fix or solution.
After some other things we tried just using right next to our modems for maximum strength. To be honest we didn’t think this would change much if not anything at all, we were in for quite the surprise. Changing to WiFi DID indeed allow us to play and stay connected for EIGHT hours UNINTERUPTED! This has worked for 6/7 of us and even though the 7th person wasn’t a full eight hours they weren’t getting the Error Code for at least five hours. We are not a group of highly skilled tech savvy people, but we do know how to use the google search engine. We have tried messing with drivers, hardware changing, whole rig changes, and different computers in the house.
This is the only thing that has ANY impact on mitigating the problem we were all facing. There’s a catch, it doesn’t outright fix the issue for everyone but a few of us with better routers or modems have had much longer than eight hour connections but still experience lag spikes every so often and if you are a streamer you may want to add a delay of some sort to help alleviate those lag spikes.
TL-DR Changing to WiFi and ensuring you are as close as possible using a pretty good WiFi router or modem to connect and play the game. You still get lag spikes every once in a while because WiFi. 6/7 of us have been able to play up to eight straight hours or more without the Error Code showing up. I alone was able to do 15 hours of constant connection with a few lag spikes here and there without once getting the Error Code only to be kicked off for emergency maintenance.
TL-DR2 something about information not sending but is getting received and cheat guard might thinks something fishy is happening and kicking us, we don’t know.
This is not only my work and I do not take credit as the sole provider for this possible solution for everyone. If this does work for you I sincerely wish that you do not direct your gratitude towards me but to the others who wish to stay anonymous who have been doing most of the leg work on this project.
!! DUE TO THE TWO LINK LIMIT I HAVE ADJUSTED THE WEBLINK FOR CERTAIN LINKS !!
This first post was made 17 hours ago from when I am posting this edited version. There is one thing NEW added to the list here that says to “Repair Easy Anti Cheat”
I have done this and have not been cured of this problem.

Basically, this has been going on for a while and has been getting dismissed as “Not my problem” since it appears that less than 1% of the player base has ever seen this error.
I speak on behalf of everyone who wants to enjoy this game and has spent quite a bit to do so for a proper answer.
WHO is being affected?
WHY does this happen?
HOW does this happen?
WHAT is/are the action(s) the developers, bug tracker/finder/solver team going to take to solve this?
WHERE can one find a constant update for this issue?
WHEN will compensation in the form of at least a public apology for this not being addressed until now?
Game is unplayable to some players, some of them even PAID to play the game for early launch and are still experiencing this issue to this day. A bit of acknowledgment would be nice…
