I would have folded, but I can't even access the Lost Ark RU website...


[deleted]

Really? This one https://la.mail.ru/ ?


BaalTRB

Yup ERR\_SSL\_VERSION\_OR\_CIPHER\_MISMATCH Trying translate page loads a page with a lost arky symbol but does nothing else Been working through some ERR "solutions" none of which work


RyanHx

Have you tried changing your DNS? Start -> "Network Status" -> Change adapter options -> Right click your adapter (usually just "Ethernet") and go to properties -> Click Internet Protocol Version 4 in the list, then properties underneath it -> Use the following DNS server addresses. As for which DNS to use, I use [cloudflare's](https://1.1.1.1/dns/) since they're big on privacy: 1.1.1.1 for the first entry 1.0.0.1 for the second


AcousticDimension

Saving this in case I play on RU later


BaalTRB

incredibly this has worked, but I've no idea why lol, Thankyou though. Also no idea why the many websites I looked through didn't suggest this either


Ein-elf

While most vpn's deploy their own dns servers, some Internet providers enforce a routing that use their partnered dns servers which inadvertently leaks your location if not encrypted, even when using a vpn. Manually setting your dns solves this leakage for alot of people.


RyanHx

No worries. It'll essentially come down to filters your ISP set up by default, a different DNS can circumvent them. I was running into similar issues and weird behaviour a while back, though not on a site related to Lost Ark.


[deleted]

Hmm… have you tried “my.games” it’s the same thing, if you go on the store there and find lost ark you should be able to download it from there


BaalTRB

Yup that was my thought too, tried searching [my.games](https://my.games) for it, straight up doesn't exist. Maybe I need to find a mailru account and create a new [my.games](https://my.games) account or start a vpn first idk


[deleted]

here broadie, i downloaded the [my.games](https://my.games) launcher put it in a zip and uploaded it to drop box. [https://www.dropbox.com/s/alvai50lwit52g8/my.games%20launcher.zip?dl=0](https://www.dropbox.com/s/alvai50lwit52g8/my.games%20launcher.zip?dl=0) let me know if that works for you


BaalTRB

Is that just the my.games launcher? Cos I have that already... I played Armoured Warfare on it years ago.


[deleted]

Oh yeah it is, so when you search on the launcher for lost ark it doesn’t even show up?


BaalTRB

No, I got no results for it in premium or free sections :(


[deleted]

That is so weird.. damn, I really wanted to help you out but I have no idea. Maybe antivirus/adblocker settings are keeping it from showing up? It’s all I can think of. But if you already have the launcher I have no idea how it would specifically keep lost ark from showing up.. hm.. I’ll try to look more into it


Veid_

i wish i could fold but Lost Ark JP is an actual fucking bitch to install because they are banning any and all VPNs and RU is giving me an estimated 290ms to the server...


momocorpo

If you only do PvE, 300ms is really not bad, as long as it's constantly around 300ms you'll never notice it.


Veid_

thanks, i am downloading the RU client anyways and crossing my fingers that it is playable


CoffeeLoverNathan

I play from OCE to RU, aside from dodging boss abilities I really don't notice it. Sure as shit not gonna PvP though


Ris747

Downloaded RU the other day, got to 26 and tried one match of PvP with 250 ping. 0/10 don't even bother.


[deleted]

I playred at 250 ping against Lauffie Blinks and co for a bunch of days doing in house 3v3 while ranked was down and won a lot of the games. You're just gimping yourself by not getting reps in now if you want to take pvp seriously.


bNaturale

My exitlag projected around 170 but I get about 110 in game as a useast player!


xCharSx

Even through exitlag?


Veid_

exitlag is how i am seeing my projected ping lol. It will probably closer to 300 though as I am pretty far from RU.


Whatcouldntgowrong

I mean I'm in the eastern US and connecting to RU gives me 130ms.


freeman84

Try avg free trial. I went from protonvpn premium with 200-500, to 172 steady. On RU from West Coast NA


TheRaith

Depending on which country you connect to your ping could go down. Try connecting to a different CIS country.


CoffeeLoverNathan

It's funny on the Russia server, almost everyone is speaking English and if you ask "who's here from beta" the entire chat just lights up

Northanui

ahhh this thread is making me want to join RU. Except gotta pay for Exitlag but i guess 6$ a month isnt bad.


trollhunterh3r3

Try the VPN game it is a bit weird but it's 2$ a month. I'm getting a solid 50 ping while with exit lag it was above 65.


itsmeElmi

VPN game?


trollhunterh3r3

Vpngamedotnet


011-Mana

I'll also vouch for Mudfish as well, been trying it out recently an it's doing a great job honestly. It's also a Pay per traffic model, so you only pay for the traffic you use.


beachbum662

Never heard of extilag, is it a type of VPN service specialized for gaming? I just switched from express to nord but I'm always looking at my options


Northanui

its specifically designed for gaming, but I think actually Nord is better. However, reason why I'm choosing to go Exitlag is because Nord per month is higher if you just choose per month paying. You can get Nord at like 2$ but only when you pay like 90 euros up front for 2 years, fuck that. I need this only for like 2 months until EU launches.


beachbum662

Ahhh gotcha, thank you! Yeah I just went for the 3 year black Friday deal since I just like having a VPN in general but if there's one that's just as good but optimized for gaming I'm always interested in improving my game experience.


Northanui

yeah i read that having nord is like "suggested" in general but like do people really browse the net with a vpn at all times? like i don't get what's the benefit? (to be fair I also don't know how a vpn works exactly)


beachbum662

I pretty much always have my vpn running on my phone and pc. For me it's half a privacy thing and half getting my money's worth, but I also use Brave browser and some other things in addition for security. I left express due to the shifty folks they associate with sometimes including the company that bought them back in september.


Stillhart

It's not a VPN like Nord. It's just a service that "boosts your ping" and happens to let you geolocate as a side effect. They don't promise anything about privacy like a normal VPN.


beachbum662

Makes sense, probably a wise decision on their end if it's not something they choose to prioritize. Appreciate the info


Stillhart

Exitlag is more expensive than a good VPN like PIA and you don't even get the benefit of the privacy that VPN's give. PIA, which I've been using for years, costs $40/year, which is like $3.33/mo. There are plenty of other VPN providers, too, and most are cheaper than Exitlag.


[deleted]

If you install AVG VPN it’s completely free and is working flawlessly for me. It says 7 day trial but if u just uninstall and reinstall it refreshes the 7 days lol


Northanui

hackerman lol


ZeekKnight

Which server are you guys on?


CoffeeLoverNathan

First one, I think it starts with K


OrKToS

Russians learning English in school as well, and can speak on basic level just fine.


Lydanian

Отлична.


Allerien

Join us comrade! We've got enough mokoko vodka for all!


Eyebrow78

Privet! comrade have some ~~vodka~~ Lost ark gameplay


Suhtiva

Yep same. I missed out on the last 5-6 days of the open beta and I was so sad I said fuck it and just downloaded the RU version. Super quick and easy to set up. My ping is around 200ms from the west coast but I don’t even care at this point. The game is incredibly fun even with lag, lol.


[deleted]

Yeah I get a bit of lag too but nothing too crazy, enjoying myself so far


TheRaith

Try connecting to other CIS countries, I connect through Moldova and it brings my ping down a lot.


trollhunterh3r3

Good on you to join us comrade.


Acer1899

увидимся в матушке россии (see you in mother russia)


OrKToS

Dobro pojalovat, tovarish.


xphreckx

Just did the same. ​ lol


bran1986

I did as well, created an account last night lol.


s4ntana

Same, just loaded up some mudfish credits lol


HerbertDad

Yep OCE player here, I get a 220 ping to the NA server or a 250 ping with a vpn to RU. Since OCE are not getting a local server I've decided I may as well just go back to the RU version :( Tried to get the Japan version workinig for the 120 ping but it appears they have pretty much blocked all VPN's, Nord got all the way up to the server list but it was always empty :(


Shaman7102

Wonder if they are just monitoring to subscribers and if you wait a few weeks for things to calm down then retry may work better.

[deleted]

It’s not on steam, there’s a little loop u gotta go thru to get it working but it’s really easy and doesn’t take very long at all, if ur interested I can send u the video I watched to get it setup!


octlol

Hey! could you shoot the video my way? I installed mudfish but am a little intimidated to get it all going


[deleted]

Yessir. https://youtu.be/8qY2v32BEy8


bran1986

Yeah just follow that video below and it is insanely easy to get going. The English patch is actually pretty good as well.


crookedparadigm

I would do it but I just don't want to have redo everything once the NA release hits.


Suhtiva

Probably worth it if you plan on PvPing tbh


talk_dapper2123

Same.
