Uninstall Lost Ark Beta Files
If you took part in the Lost Ark technical beta, then make sure to remove all of the beta files by uninstalling the beta version of the game.
Verify the Lost Ark Server Status
The problem could also be related to your network connection or the server you are playing on, I suggest verifying the Lost Ark Server Status page to make sure that your network issues are not related to the server you are playing on. On this page, you can preview the server status for the four server locations and if the server is operational, busy, full or in maintenance.
Test Your Ietwork Connection
If you feel like the issue is related to your network connection, then make sure to test your connection by visiting Speedtest.net. An average Up & Download speed, without interruption, is important to have a stable gaming experience. Especially your Ping should remain below 100ms.
Disable VPN Connection
Account for any VPN service that could be running on your system. Or turn off your VPN while in-game. Use an ethernet cable to ensure the best possible connection. If you have to use a Wifi connection, restart your router or modem if you haven't done this in a while, and reduce the number of devices connected to the same network.
