Hey,

I know there's a thread with a similar title but my problem is different.

When I click connect, nothing happens. It doesn't throw an error, it doesn't do anything at all.
I use Win 7 64-bit. I have both of the redistributables required for the launcher to run.
I tried rebooting. I even tried redoing the token stuff.
DAOC is installed, fully updated as the instructions say, and the launcher points to the camelot.exe file in the
C:\Games\EA\Darkage of camelot\* subdirectory.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.


edit:

Okay, so it eventually gave me an unable to update error. It randomly appeared. It said something about TSS or TTL. I'm not sure.

edit2:

Does the launcher use torrenting to download the patches? (I'm currently residing at a University which blocks torrenting completely with some expensive hardware).

update:

I checked to see if DAOC itself would run (by making a trial account) and it does.

Well I found the problem, yay for being STEM.
The problem is probably that there is some kind of torrenting involved to download the patch.
If you're connecting from a university that blocks this, you will have to use a VPN to connect to the patcher.
I used betternetforwindows, it worked for me and it's awesome.

Also,

I have to play with a VPN too, so i'm not sure if it's because of the patcher using torrenting or not. If there's a solution to playing without a VPN in the future, that would be great.
