EDIT4: Seems like it was cluster problems that were causing this for me. It seems like it works fine now. Reinstall worked fine.

I don't really know what's going on with this problem. I usually have no problems fixing brokens software problems, but this one got me beat.

I played for about 7 hours last night, no problems. Except that I had to spam the ESC key during the Cryengine 3 splash screen.

Today I booted up my computer, launched ArcheAge, no problem during CryEngine screen - Click on the Connect to server button aaaand freze.. I can get access to the task manager from there, but as soon as I try to end the proccess my computer hangs - needs a reboot.

I have not installed any new programs since I played without this problem.
I have tried disabling the firewall.
I have tried turning off ALL problems running in background.
I have tried google search for a fix, but I can't find any good information.
I have tried power cycling the modem.
I have tried using the internal network card instead of my external one.
I have tried setting the archeage.exe on whitelist in firewall.
Edit0: I have tried turning off DEP for archeage.exe Can't be done.
Edit1: Reinstalling graphics drivers did not solve the problem.
Edit2: I'm reinstalling the game now, if this does not work. I don't know what to do. Should be done in ~5 hours.. *sigh*
Edit3: There could be a cluster problem with my D: drive. I tried moving the files from D: to C: and explorer.exe kept crashing.. I might be on to something here.
I have NO clue what to do. Please help?

Hmm, good point, ty Ashardis. I'll try that right now.

I'll post my findings/solutions after I'm done.

When you reinstalled did you try reinstalling on your C or D drive? could be a registry problem that wasn't fixed (or was messed up further) when you tried moving the files to your C drive.

I tried to move the files first, when it did not work I changed the install dir to C:\AA instead of D:\AA .
I will probably move all the files I want to keep/can move to another drive. And scrap the D: one.
