After clicking play the archeage REVELATION art pops up with the quotes that act as a loading bar. This is how far I get before it stops and just does not load:
For anyone else getting this issue, I had to go into My Documents/ArcheAge/Documents and from there open system.cfg with notepad. I edited the line r_driver = "DX9" to r_driver = "DX11" and everything works fine now.
