Thank you all for your comments and reports!
Please restart your Steam client and try to launch Lost Ark again. It should be working fine now!

Unpackaging has started !
YÉ
The amount of people crying is dumb, hahahaha throwing threats about refunding the game… lol.
Were they on the NA server? And did they provide proof?
It’s working now, but it’s not the 72h head start we paid for… I’m not saying it’s a big deal but it would be nice to receive a tiny bit of compensation… maybe something in-game.

Crying about people crying is hypocritical and counter productive.
Hi guys, I verified the game files and was able to get in, could have been a coincidence but figured I’d post it here just in case It works for someone else.
It’s coincidental. It started working correctly exactly 1 hour late. If I had to guess someone at Valve messed up with the time difference between servers.
I just want to leave a thank you for the team on fixing this issue quickly. Launch days are hard and stressful. Please know that all your hard work and dedication is greatly appriciated.
I hope whoever was in charge of assigning the NA launch times, on whoevers end, gets fired for incompetence lol
I second this!
Thanks, now it’s working. BUT slowly. For some Reason it’s working for like half an hour or so and I am at 10 GB unpacking oO It that normal or what is going on?
Hello there everyone
I wanted to thank everyone for the patience and we really appreciate your understanding during launch.
@Hypervizor not sure if that’s possible but we do really appreciate the feedback.
@tstaff828 thank you for taking the time to share that troubleshooting steps, I agree verifying game files can help if you are having issues accessing the game.
@Venduhl I can’t say it is normal but I can confirm the decrypting process is considered a “local process”.
Once again, thank you everyone and if you have any concern feel free to ask. 
We’ll see you in Arkesia!
