Error code ARAU0107 in ARC Raiders is distinct from the other connection errors because it is typically a Launcher or Initialization Timeout.

Unlike other errors that kick you out mid-match, ARAU0107 usually happens right when you boot the game—often accompanied by a “spinning wheel” that freezes or a black screen before you even reach the main menu. It indicates the game client failed to complete its initial “handshake” with the Embark Studios servers.

Here is the specific troubleshooting path for ARAU0107:

1. The “Frozen Launcher” Fix (Most Effective)

This error is frequently caused by a “ghost” instance of the game or the Steam/Epic launcher hanging in the background.

1. Close the Game: Force quit ARC Raiders if it’s stuck.

2. Exit Steam/Epic Fully: Do not just close the window.

   • Steam: Click Steam in the top left > Exit.

   • Epic: Right-click the Epic icon in your system tray (near the clock) and select Exit.

3. Check Task Manager:

   • Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc.

   • Look for any processes named ArcRaiders.exe, EasyAntiCheat, or Steam Client WebHelper.

   • Right-click them and select End Task.

4. Restart & Retry: Relaunch your platform (Steam/Epic) as an Administrator (Right-click icon > Run as Administrator) and try the game again.

2. Verify Game Files (Fixes Corrupt Boot Files)

Since this error occurs during startup, it often means a specific boot file or the Anti-Cheat definition is corrupt.

• Steam: Right-click ARC Raiders > Properties > Installed Files > Verify integrity of game files.

• Epic Games: Click the three dots ... next to the game > Manage > Verify.

3. Delete the “Embark” Config Folder

Sometimes the local user configuration file gets corrupted, causing the handshake to fail.

1. Press Win + R on your keyboard.

2. Type %localappdata% and press Enter.

3. Find the folder labeled Embark or ArcRaiders (specifically looking for Saved or Config folders inside).

4. Rename the folder to something like Embark_Backup.

5. Launch the game again (it will generate a fresh config file).

4. Update/Repair Easy Anti-Cheat

If the Anti-Cheat service doesn’t start within a few seconds, the server will throw ARAU0107 and block the connection.

1. Navigate to your game installation folder.

2. Open the EasyAntiCheat folder.

3. Run EasyAntiCheat_EOS_Setup.exe (or similar setup file).

4. Select “Repair Service” or “Install”.

Summary Checklist

• Is Steam/Epic running as Admin? (Crucial for permissions)

• Did you fully kill all background processes?

• Have you verified the game files?
