Close the game. Open C:\Users\<username>\Documents\BattleForge\config.xml with a text editor. Change dxdisable="6" to dxdisable="0". Start the game. You will now be able to change SSAO.

At the start of the stress test there was a bug that it was possible to create characters with names that already existed. This leaded to several problems, for example the first guy with the name god would get your mails. So we changed all duplicate character names to something unique. Apparently you were the fourth one who picked the name God. After the next reset you will have to choose a new name anyway though.

Do you have antivirus that might be blocking/removing it? If so whitelist all .exe files of the updater. Try running UAC.exe, if that doesnt work redownload the updater and try again.

Some more info: When player A invites player B to trade and B accepts it, player B wont see the trade window (player A sees it). When player A moves a card to the trade window, he gets a message from system: 'Unknown error', the card is not shown at the trade window and it is gone from inventory with some sort of visual error (the blank spot Zwyrtek was talking about). In the following screenshot I had 2 copies of Flame crystal and I moved the top one to the trade.

pcre3.dll should be in your battleforge folder, could you check if it exists? If not, please try to download the client again.

Actually using the updater is the normal way to go. You only need to run if you are having problems with the updater (UAC updates the updater).

The Devs were testing something which caused the lags. This was only announced on discord. Freezes and disconnects are known issues, devs are working on it. Next time please use the bug report template.

All duplicate names have been renamed.

This is a known issue, devs are working on it. For more info, please take a look here:

Did you try changing SSAO? Or texture quality?

Why didnt you make a bug report about the trades not working? I only see one bug report of a one time crash when trading. And if you make a bug report, please use the bug report template.

Could someone try to reproduce this please? Because it might have been accidental that you got this error when opening a map with someone who didnt unlock it.

Please try again.

Maybe it will work if you use some more exclamation marks.

I actually think that was possible in the old bf ladadoos. Since one need to go out of a slot if you want to switch position in a full group. And I don't recall that the leader was prohibited to do this. Although I wouldn't mind if the leader is prohibited if that fixes these problems as long as the leader is able to switch positions.

You can ignore this message, it was reported numerous times already:

And did you extract the updater/launcher inside the Battleforge dir or somewhere else?
