My wife has decided she wants to come back. So I'm trying to get the game installed on her pc. Original game downloaded and patched. verified the dependencies were patched and up to date.

downloaded the uthgard launcher and tried to run it. picked the path to the original daoc executable.

Launcher fails. Log file as follows, snipping date/time

Failed to load string table from [data\strings\english\patch.txt]. Trying english fallback.

Failed UI copy from [C:\Program Files (x86)\Uthgard\patchui_win.dll] to [C:\Program FIles (x86)\Uthgard\patchui.dll] Trying safety load of source dll.

No usable UI present! Initializing 'headless' patch

Currently running as [C:\program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\Dark Age of Camelot\camelot.exe
Currently running as [C:\program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\Dark Age of Camelot\camelot.exe

What am I doing wrong/do I need to do to fix?

I looked and right now there is no data\strings\english folder in the daoc folder

thanks
