Hello there.

I installed everything correctly. I created a Character but soon after I logged in the Game freezes and nothing works anymore. Sometimes theres a Message like: "Authentification failed". But thats rare. Most of the time it freezes. I cant run even 2 m.

Have you followed all the instructions in the Download page?

Specially steps 5 and 6:
Spoiler:
STEP 5
GAME CLIENT SETUP

After the torrent has finished downloading, be sure to stop the torrent and move the downloaded files OUT of your download location. Copy the entire folder if you wish to support the torrent and leave it running.

After you have moved the folder, right click the WAR folder, open Properties, and uncheck Read-Only. Apply to all files.
Some users may need to follow this process if they do not have full access. Document folders marked read only


STEP 6
INSTALLING DIRECTX RUNTIMES

DirectX 9.0c is required for Warhammer to run correctly. This step is important for players running Windows 10 as it is not installed by default, although some older games may have it installed already.
Download DirectX 9.0c from the Microsoft website here: DirectX End-User Runtimes, and install it.

I wouldnt worry too much as the server has crashed twice already today. The problem may well not be your fault but server instability replying as it has just happened again.

I am also getting the crackling sound into crash issue.
I have been changing video settings around to test if I can fix it, but so far no progress.
