i am at the portal window, and when i try to long into the server, type in the password hit enter and get a pop up window that states that

"renderer Creation Failed"

i hit the Ok button than get another pop up window, the title of the window is DAoC Client Diagnostic and with-in the window it states

Your client crashed before it even started connecting. You could try to run camelot.exe with 'Check All Files' enabled.

anyone know of a fix?

update directX

im currently trying to fix the same problem in my friend´s house comp, so far it seems the current setup in his comp doesnt let him run 3D graphics or acceleration 3D. migh be related to drivers more than the directx.

still working on that tho

Hi, some more system informations would be helpful - most interresting would be the video card.

Render creation fail - happends in the most cases, if the card doesn´t support different 3D-funtcions.

But as nixian says, check dircetX and update gfx-drivers.
