Hi everyone,
I don’t think this has anything to do with a GPU driver update.
I do think this is an EAC issue.
I have managed to get the CPU core #1 ( the second core ) to not be at 100% utilisation.
Uninstall EAC to fix the problem.
I have a thread with my notes in it here
Lost Ark will not stop in Steam - Game Support / English Support - Lost Ark Forums (playlostark.com)
One more on the list of “EAC bad”.
what do you mean by “Unistall EAC”? Just deleting the folder?
Hi @tobix, you can run the EAC setup program and the is an uninstall function from within that program. Deleting the folder is probably not a good idea.
Troubleshooting EAC Issues - Support | Amazon Games
One of the options on that page details how to uninstall and reinstall EAC.
Repair Service, Reinstall, Update, or Verify EAC
To repair Easy Anti-Cheat:
- Open the Lost Ark Application in your Steam library.
- Open Settings, select Manage, and then Browse Local Files.
- Go to Steam > steamapps > common > Lost Ark > Binaries > Win64 and open the EasyAntiCheat folder.
- Right click the EasyAntiCheat_Setup.exe file, and select Run as administrator.
- Select Current game, if it’s not the default option, and then select Repair Service.
There is an uninstall option once you have EasyAntiCheat_Setup.exe running as an administrator there is an uninstall button … use that.
Reboot your computer and check steam to see if the game is still running, it should not be (which was my experience)
Of course this will mean that Lost Ark will not run.
Steam will run properly and if you had noticed you will find that your task manager is reporting normal performance on CPU ID1 and also the System process will run normaly.
To play Lost Ark again you may have Steam verify the files.
It’s interesting what you say because I don’t have EAC installed on my PC so the option is greyed out.
This means that people who have this problem have a version of EAC installed on their PC that runs on the kernel level and that makes the two conflict.
This would be interesting to check.
what do you mean you dont have eac? its in lost ark you cant launch without it
Yes EAC is installed with Lost Ark but not as a program so you can’t uninstall it.
Each game runs their version of EAC at launch and therefore adds the EAC program to their folder.
The fact that the uninstall option is visible means that EAC is really installed on the PC as a program and it’s possible that it’s the version running on the kernel.
And this could be a conflict between the two.
I just checked with a person who has this bug and the uninstall button is usable.
It would be necessary to check with people who have no problem.
i think steam instals it becuse i unistaled as a eac trouble shot sugested and steam installed it again
