The current status of the Lost Ark servers
- February 10, 2022, 07:45am: The servers are back online. No new servers were added during the maintenance work.
- February 10, 2022, 07:15am: Since shortly after 7am all European servers are down due to maintenance, in 30 minutes it should continue.
We will be performing scheduled maintenance on the servers today at 10pmPT/6am UTC and expect the work to take an estimated 30 minutes
- 09 February 2022, 19:22: Currently, the European servers are almost all at full capacity. The queue on the server Asta consisted of over 14,000 players. Here it can take hours until you get into the game. Only the server Sceptrum still has many free places.
- 09 February 2022, 12:11pm: The European servers are slowly filling up, the first ones are set to “busy” again. Among them also the “German” server Asta. But there are currently no long waiting times.
- 09 February 2022, 09:00 hrs: The Lost Ark servers are currently looking quite good, with Procyon and Sceptrum even two new ones have been added – which additionally eases the situation. Only on Zinnervale could there be problems due to the load. Otherwise, you should be able to play quite carefree at the moment and not have to deal with too many queues.
- 08 February 2022, 19:33: The rush on the Lost Ark servers is enormous right now. Those who are on the servers can play without any problems, but huge queues have formed on the first servers. On Asta there are currently almost 13,000 players in the queue.
- 08 Feb 2022, 7:10pm: If you are suffering from the download problem, the following workaround might help: Change the download region within Steam to a different server – in our case, switching from a German server to the Mexican one helped.
Thank you for the reports regarding game downloads timing on Steam.
Steam is aware of it and is actively looking into the issue and we will update players as soon as we have additional information.
