So could someone give me a quick walkthrought with installing? I've downloaded DAoC EU client, installed Darkness Rising into the DAoC Browser and now patching it to 1.87, or whatever this autopatch is patching to.

So what do I do after that? I'm kinda confused right now.
Well now I'm working with the connect thing, hope I get it to work.

Now it keeps on saying Game file was not found?
ARGH! could someone post a picture of how the connect should be? I mean do I put D:\and the path here, or (D:)\path or Paikallinen Levy (D:)\ to the game path or what!? I'm so confused with this.

This is how it looks for me right now, everything right? still says can't find the damn game file. I'm usin DOLloader....

I removed the username and password so u won't see it
.

See the second but last rem line? You made the same mistake as so many people before you -- you entered your data into the example section! You need to put @DOLLoader "D:\Pelit\Dark Age of Camelot\game.dll" 89.238.64.166 10300 1 xxxxxx yyyyyy into the last line instead of @DOLLoader game.dll 192.168.0.1 10300 1 username password. (Btw: It seems you failed to remove all occurrences of your intended username/password combination. You probably want to use another one now... )

If you still can't figure it out, there are other launchers which you can find in the Downloads > Misc section...such as the Uthgard Launcher (right at the bottom).

[Edit: removed revealing user information]

seems like I did forgot the username stuff >_>....
Oh and it still says "Game file was not found" or something like that. do I put D:\ or(D: )\ (had to put space there because it would turn into an emote) or Paikallinen Levy (D: )\
I made it look like this:

@DOLLoader "D:\Pelit\Dark Age of Camelot\game.dll" 89.238.64.166 10300 1 username password

Well, I've decided to try the Uthgard launcher. I'll tell later does it work.
BTW could you delete that username and password from your post ... not using it but still...

OK, good luck then. Your last post actually looks good. (D:\ is the right way to write it - no parentheses required.) Thus, it should work when there is a game.dll in your D:\Pelit\Dark Age of Camelot\ directory and DOLLoader.exe in the same directory as connect.bat.

Hhmmm... I kinda burned my nerves with that launcher so I deleted it and tried the Uthgard launcher. It took me into the game and now I think I just must create a char, see ya all soon .
But why does the launcher say "Update check failed: could not connect to remote server" and then it takes me into to the launcher?

Why every time I launch the Uthgard launcher, it takes me into the launching screen and loads to about 95% of the game, and then say:
"Service not available"
"Hit Esc to quit"


pfftt... Having problem with my Windows Explorer. No firewall shouldn't prevent it but still doesn't work... I hope this Windows update fixes it.

WAHHEY! I no longer need help. I got the Uthgard client working just fine and am playing right now on that.... Norse thing side . My ingame name is Hulstang. You can delete this topic if you want to.

Nice to read! Welcome and have fun!
