Tried uninstalling/reinstalling the DAOC client, uninstalled/reinstalled the launcher, framework and C++ are up to date.

Looking at the last few posts in this forum, it seems others are having trouble with the launcher. Did they change it recently?

Running Win 10 with Firefox, if that matters.

Any ideas?

Click the "Play!" button in the top right corner.

Sorry, I forgot to mention in my first post that the play button in the browser doesn't work either. When I first started having the problem, it opened the window asking me to select the DAOC.exe file (something I didn't have to do since I first installed).

So I click the DAOC.exe file, and...nothing.

Then I took the steps outlined in my prev post. This time I didn't even get the window asking me to select the file; it just broght me right to the webpage.

Edit: clicking launcher settings and account chooser does literally nothing either. Just a brief blue icon suggesting something is about to happen :P

Here's what's in the log folder. Don't know if this helps:

Did it actually ask you to select camelot.exe, or did it ask you what application you want to use for opening uthgard:// links?

If it is the latter, you have to select "uthgard.exe" instead.
Be nice. :)

The only time it asked me to select the file was the very first time I installed (3 days ago), and again today. In the dozen or so times in between it never asked me to select the file. I just logged in using by double clicking the launcher icon and clicking "connect."

I never tried logging in via the website till today. Played for hours last night without issue. Then today, the -first- time I tried playing, the launcher asked me to select the DAOC.exe file. I did, then it just brought me to the webpage as I described.

After trying a few more time, same thing - but it never asked me to select the file again- it just went to the webpage.

Did you try and press the play button at the top right corner next to account management?

Yes! Like I said, it does nothing. Clicking on the preference and account buttons do nothing either.

When I click them, I get the blue circle "thinking" icon next to my mouse cursor for about a second, then nothing happens

Ok I think I figured it out. I used Microsoft Edge instead of Firefox. I'm in game now.

Thanks for the quick responses guys. You really do rock. :grin:
