[QUOTE = "Soren, post: 47421, member: 3"] Departures are due to incorrect processing of your video driver information.
You need to install either a newer version, or an older one.
To change the character, you just need to delete the ArcheAge folder in My Documents. Since you have left it with 2.9, and 3.0 it tries to modify and use. It's also worth deleting the ArcheAge directory on drive C. [/ QUOTE]
Soren, I completely formatted my SSD and reinstalled windows and drivers (trying several versions of video drivers) from scratch to try to resolve this issue with the same result of going to character select after being in game on one character staying infinitely on a black screen. Because I reinstalled windows and the game from scratch, The folders are clear of any 2.9 data. Changing to all max settings allows me to change characters, but the game is not playable on all maximum settings. This is happening on my wife's PC as well, along with several guildies who have also deleted their folders and even tries reinstalling archeage. These issues were not present in 2.9... I believe someone had said russian official servers had this issue as well when 3.0 was initially released, so I believe this is truly a server side issue.
