Hi! I see you've been stuck at 100% loading in Ark of War for 4 days now. That sounds really inconvenient. To better assist you, could you tell me if this happens right after launching the game every time? Also, have you noticed any error messages or does the game just freeze on the loading screen?

Meanwhile, I’ll guide you through some common steps that usually help with such loading freezes:

1. Restart your PC if you haven't recently. Sometimes a fresh start can clear temporary glitches.

2. Check your internet connection to make sure it's stable since Ark of War relies on network data.

3. Update your graphics drivers: Outdated drivers can cause the game to freeze during load.

4. Run the game as administrator: Right-click the game icon and select "Run as administrator" to avoid permissions issues.

5. Clear game cache or temporary files: Sometimes leftover files can cause conflicts.

6. Verify game files integrity (if the game is installed via a client like Steam or similar). This will replace any corrupted files.

7. Disable any mods if you are using them — even after removal, old mod files can interfere with loading1.

Since you mentioned this has been going on for 4 days, have you tried the above steps already? If so, please let me know which ones and what happened when you tried them. That will help me figure out if we need to go deeper into troubleshooting or consider assistance from higher-level support.

Looking forward to your reply!

Играю на ПК через эмулятор БлюСтакс, другие игры запускаются.

Thanks for letting me know you're playing Ark of War on PC through the BlueStacks emulator and that other games run fine there. That narrows things down a bit.

Since other games work but Ark of War freezes at 100% load, the issue is likely specific to how BlueStacks is handling this game. Here are some steps tailored for BlueStacks users:

1. Update BlueStacks to the latest version, ideally BlueStacks 5 if you’re on an older one. New versions improve compatibility and performance.

2. Adjust the ABI settings in BlueStacks. Sometimes games require the emulator to run with a specific CPU architecture setting (ABI), such as ARM or x86. You can create a new instance in BlueStacks with a different ABI and try running the game there.

3. Enable Virtualization in your PC BIOS if it’s not already enabled. Virtualization helps BlueStacks run smoothly especially for graphics-heavy games.

4. Allocate more CPU cores and RAM to BlueStacks: Open BlueStacks settings > Performance tab, and increase the resources assigned to it. Ark of War can be demanding and may freeze if BlueStacks has low resources.

5. Clear app cache inside BlueStacks: Go to BlueStacks Settings > Apps > Ark of War > Clear Cache and Data.

6. Reinstall Ark of War inside BlueStacks: Occasionally, a corrupt installation can cause hangs at load.

7. Try running the game on a different Android version instance inside BlueStacks (e.g., use Android Pie 64-bit if you’re on something else).

If those options don’t work, sometimes games just don’t play well in certain emulators due to graphics or API incompatibilities. I’ve seen some reports on similar games crashing or freezing in BlueStacks that required emulator-specific fixes or waiting for game patches1.

Could you tell me which BlueStacks version and Android version you’re running inside the emulator? Also, have you tried increasing resource allocation or toggling runtime settings before? That way, I can suggest the best next step!

На смартфоне Редми 9С игра также не загружается, как и на ПК

Thanks for sharing that Ark of War also won’t load on your Redmi 9C smartphone, just like on your PC via BlueStacks. This suggests the problem might be related to the game itself or your account rather than just the emulator.

Since the issue happens on two different platforms, here are some steps you can try on your Redmi 9C:

1. Restart your smartphone completely to clear any temporary glitches.

2. Ensure the game and your phone's system are updated to the latest versions available. Sometimes game updates fix loading issues.

3. Clear Ark of War app cache and data:
Go to Settings > Apps > Ark of War > Storage > Clear Cache and Clear Data. This will reset the game’s temporary files without deleting your account data (usually saved on servers).

4. Check your internet connection—preferably switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data to see if one works better.

5. Reinstall the game if clearing cache doesn’t help: Uninstall Ark of War, then redownload it from the Google Play Store.

6. Confirm if the Ark of War servers are up: Sometimes games don’t load because of server maintenance or outages. Unfortunately, there isn’t a direct official status page, but you can check the game’s social media or community forums.

If none of these work, the problem might be with the game’s compatibility with Redmi 9C or some server-side issue affecting your account. There are some helpful videos on fixing Ark of War loading and app not opening errors for Android devices that you might find useful too1 7.

Could you please confirm if you’ve already tried any of these steps? Also, does the game freeze while showing your player name/logo, or does the loading bar just freeze right after starting?

Let me know, and we will find a way to get you back playing soon!

При запуске на ПК через эмулятор после 100% загрузке появляется сообщение СВЯЗЬ С МИРОМ ПРЕРВАЛАСЬ, ПРОВЕРЬТЕ ВАШУ СЕТЬ

Thank you for the additional detail about the message after loading: "СВЯЗЬ С МИРОМ ПРЕРВАЛАСЬ, ПРОВЕРЬТЕ ВАШУ СЕТЬ" (which means "Connection with the world interrupted, please check your network"). This points to a network connection issue between your emulator and the game servers.

Since your other games work fine on BlueStacks, and Ark of War also doesn't load on your Redmi 9C, here’s how we can work through this network-related problem:

1. Check your internet connection on both PC and phone: Try restarting your router or switching to a different network (e.g., a phone hotspot or a different Wi-Fi). Sometimes network settings or firewalls block game traffic.

2. Disable VPNs, proxies, or firewall temporarily: If you have any VPN or firewall active on your PC, they might interfere with connecting to Ark of War servers inside BlueStacks.

3. Set Network Mode in BlueStacks: Go to BlueStacks Settings > Network tab and toggle the mode between ‘Bridged’ and ‘NAT’ to see which one allows better connectivity.

4. Check Windows Firewall and antivirus settings: Temporarily disable Windows Firewall or antivirus software to test if they’re blocking BlueStacks or the game from accessing the internet.

5. Flush DNS and reset network settings on PC:
- Open Command Prompt (Admin) and type:
<br> ipconfig /flushdns<br> netsh winsock reset<br>
- Then restart your PC.

6. On the Redmi 9C, try resetting network settings: Settings > System > Reset options > Reset Wi-Fi, mobile & Bluetooth.

7. Ensure no app permissions are blocking network access on the phone for Ark of War.

Given the error is network-specific, these steps usually help fix connectivity problems that cause that message.

Please try these and let me know if the problem persists. This way, we can narrow down whether the issue lies with your network, emulator settings, or game servers.

Are you comfortable with these steps? I’m here to guide you through any of them!

Common reasons for emulator network errors

Hi! You're asking about common reasons for network errors when running Ark of War in an emulator like BlueStacks. Let me share the main causes that typically lead to such network issues in emulators based on what I've seen and gathered:

1. Network Configuration in Emulator: Sometimes the emulator’s network mode (NAT vs. Bridged) causes connection problems. If the emulator’s virtual network adapter is not set properly or conflicts with your PC’s network, the game can't reach its servers.

2. Firewall or Antivirus Blocking: Security software on your PC may block emulator’s network traffic, including Ark of War trying to connect online. Even if you added exceptions, these can sometimes fail or need extra rules.

3. VPN or Proxy Conflicts: Using VPNs or proxies often disrupt connections inside emulators, leading to "network error" messages.

4. Outdated Emulator Version: Older emulator versions might have bugs affecting network stability with specific games.

5. Insufficient Resources or Emulator Settings: Misconfigured CPU, RAM, or graphics settings in BlueStacks can indirectly cause networking glitches if the app crashes or hangs.

6. Corrupted Game Data or Cache: Leftover corrupted or conflicting cache files within the emulator can block proper server communication.

7. Internet Connection Issues: Sometimes the host PC’s internet connection is unstable, or the game servers themselves are temporarily unreachable.

8. Emulator’s Virtual Network Adapter Driver Issues: Faulty or outdated virtual network drivers installed by the emulator may cause connectivity problems.

To address these, you can try:

- Switching network mode in BlueStacks settings between NAT and Bridged.
- Temporarily disabling firewall/antivirus or adding explicit rules for BlueStacks and Ark of War.
- Disabling any active VPN or proxy.
- Updating BlueStacks to the latest version.
- Clearing Ark of War’s cache and data within the emulator, or reinstalling the game.
- Checking your PC’s network connection and restarting your router.
- Resetting the emulator’s virtual network adapter or reinstalling BlueStacks if needed.

If you'd like, I can guide you step-by-step through these fixes based on what you’ve tried so far. Would that be helpful?

Also, if you want, I can check some specific troubleshooting videos or user forum threads with targeted solutions for Ark of War network errors in BlueStacks. Just let me know! 1

Я нахожусь в России. Может сервер Ark of War для России заблокирован?

Спасибо за вопрос! По моим текущим данным, официальной информации о том, что серверы Ark of War специально заблокированы для России, нет. Похоже, что никаких региональных ограничений и блокировок, касающихся Ark of War в России, не объявлялось.

Тем не менее, учитывая недавние геополитические события и ограничения, иногда бывают ситуации, когда определённые игровые серверы или сервисы могут сталкиваться с перебоями или ограничениями на уровне сетевого провайдера или из-за локальных политик. Это может вызвать проблемы с подключением или сообщением об ошибке сети, которое вы видите.

Если у вас возникают вопросы именно о серверном доступе, советую проверить официальные каналы Ark of War — сайт, соцсети или сообщества игроков — на предмет последних новостей о работе серверов в вашем регионе.

Также, для обхода возможных сетевых препятствий, можно попробовать использовать стабильное VPN-соединение с серверами в других регионах, чтобы проверить, изменится ли ситуация с подключением.

Если хотите, могу помочь вам с настройкой сети или проверить, нет ли у других игроков из России похожих проблем.

Latest news on Ark of War restrictions in Russia?

Thanks for asking about the latest news on Ark of War restrictions in Russia. Based on recent information, there are no specific reports indicating that Ark of War servers or access are officially restricted or blocked in Russia at this time.

However, it’s worth noting that after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, some game companies, such as Wargaming, ceased operations in Russia. This shows there have been broader impacts on gaming companies in the region, but no direct connection to Ark of War was mentioned in recent sources1.

Current restrictions and regulations tend to focus more on digital content labeling, authentication of purchases, or hardware sales bans, rather than game server blockages specifically6 4.

Given this, your connection problem might be related to local network issues, ISP limitations, or possible firewall or VPN conflicts rather than an outright official ban on Ark of War servers for Russia.

If you want, I can assist you with network troubleshooting or alternative connection methods like VPN usage to help you regain access.

Are you interested in guidance on those next steps?

Why is Ark of War restricted in Russia?

Thanks for your question about why Ark of War might be restricted in Russia. From the available information, there are no specific or official reports indicating that Ark of War itself is banned or restricted in Russia. The search results don’t mention any direct connection between Ark of War and restrictions or bans in that region.

However, it’s worth noting that due to the ongoing geopolitical situation, some Russian game developers and their titles have faced backlash or avoidance by players, and some game companies from or associated with Russia have faced sanctions or ceased operations in certain markets. But Ark of War does not appear explicitly on these lists, nor have I seen official announcements about its restriction in Russia1.

If you’re experiencing connection issues or messages about network problems with Ark of War while in Russia, the cause is more likely related to local network conditions, ISP restrictions, firewall or VPN conflicts, or possible server availability issues rather than a formal government or platform ban.

If you'd like, I can help you troubleshoot your network setup or check if there are ways around possible connection barriers so you can get back to playing smoothly. Would that be helpful?

Is using a VPN legal in Russia?

Thanks for asking about the legality of using a VPN in Russia, especially in the context of playing Ark of War.

As of early 2025, using a VPN in Russia is generally still legal for personal use, such as enhancing your privacy or accessing games and services. However, there are important restrictions on VPN services themselves:

- From March 1, 2024, Russia banned the advertising and promotion of VPN services that help users bypass government blocks.
- Authorities have blocked many VPN apps and providers that fail to comply with Russian regulations, especially those that allow access to content illegal in Russia.
- Distribution or reselling of VPN services without government approval can lead to legal consequences.
- Despite this, personal use of VPNs remains "practically risk-free" as long as you’re not involved in distributing or promoting them1 2 6 7 8.

So, if you use a VPN privately to improve your game connection or protect your data, it is not illegal. Just keep in mind that many popular VPN services have been blocked or removed from app stores in Russia, so your choices may be limited.

If you decide to use a VPN, I recommend selecting providers with good reputations for bypassing restrictions and strong security.

Would you like me to help you find VPN options that currently work well in Russia, or walk you through setup steps?

Which VPN services are available in Russia?

Thanks for your question about which VPN services are available and work well in Russia for playing Ark of War.

Despite increased restrictions and blocks on many VPN providers in Russia, some VPNs still operate effectively there, offering ways to bypass local limitations. Here are some of the best VPNs reported to work reliably in Russia as of 2025:

1. Proton VPN – Known for strong privacy, free and paid plans, and effective obfuscated servers to bypass restrictions. It’s often recommended for users in Russia3 6.
