Hi guys,

I am currently in a bad financial situation that's why I have to play DAoC on an old machine still running Windows XP. Windows 7 won't be running properly and would take too many hardware ressources leaving nothing left for the game.

Is there any way to patch the game and run DAoC nevertheless?

The error message is (probably due to not being able to run dotnet46):

Uthgard does not support Windows XP for the moment. And this is exactly because it can't install .NET4.6. Sorry
There is an issue in the tracker although for which you can vote and hope that the staff will fix it.

I patched the game by connecting my Windows XP DAoC folder with a borrowed Windows 7 laptop via net drive mapping.

Any workaround to play on Windows XP?

Uthgard.exe is not a valid Win32 application?

Does that allow you to actually play though?

there's an issue to make the launcher multi-platform its one of the most voted on issues next to classic buildings haha

I would love to play Uthgard on Linux myself.

Yeah, it would be pretty sweet if I could play on my Mac. I didn't think that was even possible without completely rebuilding the game for OSX.

I used to always keep checking the site to see if it was going to reopen soon.
Now I check to see if it will allow windows xp...

To: Uthgard Staff

Please create a new Launcher compatible with Windows XP, so that all the people who cannot afford to upgrade their OS/system, can help you with the BETA and finding and reporting bugs.

There are many people who still use Windows XP, whether it's "secure enough" or not isn't really the issue here, if the game runs perfectly on XP, then the launcher should also, doesn't this make sense?!

If this is too hard to do, then atleast allow us WinXP users to login via Daoc Portal, as a temporary fix.
