How to fix servers not showing in Lost Ark

The basic fixes for this issue remain the same as they are for every other game. First, make sure your internet is working correctly by testing out another online game or using your web browser.

Then, go to the game's official Twitter account and look for any announcements that the servers are down for maintenance or because of any other issue.

If those aren't the root of the problem, users have said that servers not showing up on the list is a bug caused by the game starting up. There is no reason as to why it happens. It just does.

Restart the game

If the no server list for your region appears, the simplest and most effective fix has been found. Go to your Task Manager by selecting it after pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del on your keyboard.

Close the Lost Ark task and wait for a few moments for it to shut down entirely. Restart the game, and you should see that the server you are looking for now show up on the list.

If it doesn't work, repeat the steps. Fully close the game and load it once more until the servers appear. However, the problem may need another solution if it isn't fixed after a few tries.
