First of all, I have connected using the latest clients. I want to know if it's possible to connect with the older clients to Uthgard? I know the game here is modified and does not use New Frontiers. I have heard that any client can connect to Uthgard. When I try to connect the client to DAOC official servers I get an error saying "I cannot connect to update server" and it does not update. I see a v1.48 in the patcher window on this version and there is no SI installed as far as I know. I get similar problems when using it with Uthgard. The game is not up to date or something. Anyone know how I can do this? I want to use the older graphics engine and am hoping to be able to use these older client(s) if possible. I tried using some dollauncher thing and made my own .bat file with the server IP and my login/password which also failed. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

So that all players see the same you have to use at least 1.95. There are options where you can switch to classic models and trees. It's done when it's done. Thanks for your patience. Every bug gets fixed. Sooner or later.

No just get the latest daoc version and turn trees / terrain / models and names to old models + UI with old icons and it looks as 2003 again. Thats how I do it. <<< This avatar is handmade by Inotor Wurzelbert : ) Check out the Mampfer-Threads for more. viewtopic.php?f=10&t=25079 viewtopic.php?f=10&t=26934

One of the biggest issues is that the newer engines changed the interaction between the player and the game. Clicking people for example. With newer models it is hard to target people, much different than days past where it was easy to click anyone at any time.
