#LOST ARK STEAM DOWNLOAD INSTALL#
If you try and head over to the Steam page, you are slapped with an “unavailable your region” error. After that uninstall the Lost Ark from Steam (which will delete the preload files but not the ones you pasted in the games folder, you might wanna back up though) Restart the Steam, install the game again and itll discover and locate the preload files, download the extra patch and you are good to go. Due to developer Smilegate failing to apply for publishing rights in the country, you can’t download the game through Steam. Lost Ark isn’t available in South Africa.
