Hi…
After today Patch I’m unable to launch lost ark, when I launch it from Steam, the usual EAC Overlay appear and load and then disappear as it should be, but the Lost Ark Overlay never appear (Both Lostark.exe and Eac are present in the Task Manager) but nothing happen…
I literally tried everything but nothing worked.
Windows 11 is up to date.
Clean Re-Installed Nvidia Driver (Up to date).
Repaired EasyAntiCheat (Both tried to uninstall and install it again and Repair).
Checked lost ark Files through Steam.
EAC/Steam/Lost Ark are running as Administrator trough properties of the .exe file.
Tried forcing -Fullscreen and dx9.
Disabled Steam Overlay.
Disabled any Background App (I only had MSI Afterburner since my Windows is completely debloated).
Added/checked permissions in Windows Firewall (lost ark, eac and steam).
Tried to disable Firewall and Windows Anti-Virus.
Tried deleting physxupdateloader64.dll (Even if I didn’t get any error about that file, But I read that It could help).
I even uninstalled Steam and completely re-downloaded Lost Ark from zero.
But nothing worked, I didn’t change anything in my PC, since this is literally a Lost Ark Machine, I always been able to play since release until today.
If anyone had something similar happened and could help it would be appreciated, since I doubt I will ever do a clean install of Windows just for Lost Ark.
I’m sorry to hear that just after the most recent update, Lost Ark launch and then stop working on your PC.
