Game won't start after 2 seconds of Splash-Screen

Heya,
first and foremost:
I never really had issues with starting the game. First time being right after the whole VPN-BLOCK thing got implemented and my ISP doing some fishy tunneling to appear on your radar. You guys handled that in like 2 days.

Hardware - Ryzen 7 3700x, Nvidia RTX 3070ti FE, 32GB 3200mhz RAM.

So whats going on:
I start the game, via Steam or Desktop link, doesnt really matter. I see the EAC Splash screen, after that im greeted by 2 seconds of lovely Albion Splashart which then disappears. I see Lost ark gaining RAM usage up until 500mb and then it just disappears. 10 seconds later I can start the game again in Steam.

What i tried so far:
Restarts → Router, PC
Shifting file locations from SSD to my newest.
Repairing Game Files
Reinstalling the game completely from scratch
Deleting the EFEngine and repairing the game
Switching my CPU to 7 Cores (because apparently >7 cores crashes on FX xxxx CPU’s ?)
Windows Updates and GPU Driver Update
Uninstalling company provided Software - Anti virus and VPN

I can’t seem to find any logs in the game directory and i crawled through the whole event-log of windows to find anything, nothing is logged.
I can’t use Procmon to analyze anything because of EAC.

So far nothing makes any difference and im “forced” to play with geforce-now. Not quite helpful clearing clownie with that input lag but its managable.

Appreciate any Tips
lai lai ! <3
