I don't think Lost Ark is available in the UAE.

maybe check your antivirus quarantine/vault to see if the games files are being blocked ... also maybe add an exception for the game's install folder in your antivirus?

Because bypassing region locks couldn't possibly be a SSA violation, right?

So I had the "Content File locked" Error too and I could fix it following:

I opened my Task Manager, went to the Steam process, right-clicked it and opened Properties. There I went into Security and chose Edit.... In there I gave Full control, which worked just fine for me.
