During the land demo I claimed land and looks like another player claimed same land with me? How is it possible? What should I do?
That can happen if both players claimed land at the same moment during the land demo.
As you both claimed land at the same time, you both have the equal rights for it. Due to it you need to agree it on your side, who will remove the property. Otherwise, if no agreement is reached, both will have to be removed.

What to do if I get one of the Client related issues?
Check this thread [Link]. If it doesn't help, press Repair button at the Launcher start.
If it doesn't help or doesn't reply your question, check bellow.
I get a "Verification error". What should I do?
Check your internet connection, make sure you enter correct login (use the one you registered on website) and password (CapsLock is off, correct keyboard language is chosen).
What to do if I get "Version check error"?
Version check error occurs when your connection to the update server is unstable or abruptly cut. It's either something on your connection side or something like your anti virus or Windows protection is blocking the connection.
You should be able to make ArcheRage an exception to your systems protection and they'll ignore it.
Also, go to game folder and remove file "client.version".
Whenever I want to change to another character, the character selection screen just remains black. How to fix it?
Try to change your Quality settings to High or Very High.
When I start game I'm getting a black screen / Game won't launch. Any way to fix it?
You may need to switch between DirectX11 and DirectX9.
My Settings, Skill Bar locations and Chat Tabs don't save properly. What should I do?
Try to clear cache and reset the settings. You need to go to C:\ArcheRage\Documents and remove folder’s content (ctrl+A -> delete). Then start the game and set new settings.
I get a "Launch error" msg after i installed and try to press play in client. What should I do?
Your anti-virus is intruding the game and blocking or removing some of the game files. You just need to add game folder, Archeage.exe and Launcher.exe to the anti-virus exceptions, then restart your launcher and press Repair if it doesn't start itself.
If issue remains, you'll need to re-install the game client. If you used Direct Download before, try to use Torrent option.

You need to remove the file client.version in the game folder and then press Repair button.
Game is loading extremely slow, why?
You need to remove the file client.version in the game folder and then press Repair button.
Game is loading extremely slow, why?
It can be your hard drive issue. We recommend to use SSD to improve your game play.
Can't understand part of my game chat. Another language I don't understand is used there. What can I do?
You can see your full chats convo from the game in your documents. For it go Documents/ArcheRage/Chat or Documents/ArcheRage/LogBackups/Chat.
I have Steelseries Headphones and game is crashing while tries to load. Can crashes be caused by them?
If you use Steelseries Headphones, your crashes are most likely caused by them. Steelseries usually separate Game and Chat volume mixers. If you have your default set to the Chat mixer, then swapped it back to Game.
And if if you have an Artics7 for headset, you have to change something at the sound options. Use default device Artics 7 game.
Issue of crashing at game loading can also be caused by other audio device / software, like Razer Synapse. If you have the one, try to uninstall/reinstall it and start the game.
Bluetooth on the motherboard sometimes can be causing issues as well. If you have the one, turn it off and try to access the game.
