hi,

i use a DOS batch file from uthgard download section to login. works very well.
since today i get spammed in system chat, that this method will soon not longer supported.

this is confusing me... i USE daoc portal (in combination with batch) and get a hint,
that batch files ARE supported and that i should look into uthgard download section.
i downloaded the batch and compared... technically no difference.


please explain, whats wrong - the spam is very anoying.


code for login:

Code: Select all

set youraccount="myaccountname"
set yourpassword="topsecretpassword"

echo %youraccount% einloggen ?
pause

set connect="d:\spiele\daoc-freeshard\DAoC-Portal\Connect.exe"
set gamedll="d:\spiele\daoc-freeshard\daoc\game.dll"
set server="server.uthgard.net:10300"

cd d:\spiele\daoc-freeshard\DAoC-Portal

%connect% %gamedll% %server% %youraccount% %yourpassword%

Yea theres a little difference, donno why you get spammed. Try it like this:

Code: Select all

@echo off
set server="server.uthgard.net:10300"
set connect="d:\spiele\daoc-freeshard\DAoC-Portal\Connect.exe"
set gamedll="d:\spiele\daoc-freeshard\daoc\game.dll"

%connect% %gamedll% %server% accountname password


As an alternative, right click Uthgard in DAOCPortal and choose "create shortcut". Fill in your username and password then click "Create shortcut". It will place it on your desktop.

If you add a quick login (instead of filling in Username and password) it will be stored encrypted, too.

Are you using an old version of DAoC Portal? I assume there are no update checks for newer portal versions if you call the connector directly.

Also, please make sure you have the following ports open in your firewall:

TCP 10300, TCP 10301, UDP 10400

thx @all for fast feddback.

problem solved itself:
everything fine again without any change on my side.
seems that this "problem" was caused during server maintanance problems on sunday,
where a lot of players got kicked out etc.


just for information:
- gamel.dll and portal.exe are correctly set in firewall setting
- daoc portal does automaticly update if needed

-> above batch works error free.

This error message will show when you are using the non-hacked connect.exe version to log in to Uthgard.

Here is some info for you to check what version you have:

Code: Select all

Old Connect.exe from DAoC Portal 2.6 or earlier:
md5: 4bda2927ef4bf45ca8ccd0eca8236807
size: 13 312 byte  @ C++

New Connect.exe from DAoC Portal 2.8c:
md5: 2b87970e92eec4419f62d7757a85b8fa
size: 71 168 byte  @ C#
