Lost Ark’s launch has been both wildly successful and a complete mess. Queue times for certain servers are astronomical, and some regions have no servers without queues. Maintenances have pulled down Lost Ark servers and regions for extended periods of time. Then there’s the fact that some Lost Ark players are having technical problems in-game, with servers not working right, losing track of player privileges, or outright kicking players. The worst issue with Lost Ark, however, is two new mysterious errors that prevent players from even joining queues.
First, the W0x2 error has surged on Sunday in Lost Ark and players have no idea what it is or how they can fix it. Players open Lost Ark to try and start playing or join their server’s wait queue only to receive the message “Cannot Connect to the server. Exiting the game. [W0x2-0PELPWN1N2NT]” before their server list even loads. Restarting the game doesn’t appear to fix the problem, either. Nothing appears to fix the problem.
A second error has also been spreading just as fast as the W0x2 error. The 10027 error tells Lost Arc players “We’re sorry. Cannot connect to the server due to heavy traffic [10027]” and occurs at the same time as the W0x2 error, as players are opening the MMO.
It isn’t clear how many players are being impacted by the two errors, but judging from Twitter and Reddit that number is significant. And, it bears repeating, the error is just gatekeeping players from joining Lost Ark’s queues where they’ll spend hours upon hours waiting. There are layers of frustration here that don’t seem to be improving.
Lost Ark is currently available on PC.
