Hey,

Ok im new to DAoC free servers.

im not sure how to edit things or get the correct clients, editing my update.dat or whatever it is..

im not sure how to do this right and dont want to wreck my installating.

could someone explain this to me a little bit plz?

What have you done until now?

nothing .. only just installed daoc.

iv read the how to update your client part of the sticky thread.
but i dont understand how that works...

its just a list of things to edit..
you must have to be born with the knowledge of how to understand that daoc update thing..

theres like 5 things to patch for?
is it all necessary?
i dont understand the differences from isle to atlants to catacombs to minotaur or whatever it is

iv read and search for help posts but im blind i guess coz i dont see anything saying "this is what you need to patch to"

but a bunch of people posted about how patching to some of them isnt even needed?


im sitting here waiting and refreshing this forum to hopefully get some help asap.[/b]

I've done like this: downloaded Trials of Atlantis, installed, downloaded DAoC Portal (search it with google), install it, open DAoC Portal, click File --> Run the Patcher, click start update and let it update. If that way doesnt work, go to your DAoC install folder and double click camelot.exe. Hope it helps.

do i update to max?

iv download daoc portal already from one of the other forum threads

update to 1.87

where does it say its version?

down the bottom left?

says v 1.62

it hasnt changed since iv started updating

update will take some time...lets say 1-2 hours, not sure, 1 year since i updated

so i stop the patch when it tries to patch 1.88 ?

for 1.88 i'm not sure, 1.87 works for sure, and yes i think its like that not 100% tho...

should work well till 1.88 - not sure bout 1.89 though

1.62 is the version of your update program, not the game version

1.89 doesnt work. It does, but you'll have problems.

so how do i figure out the daoc version after patches?

When you connect to server you'll see version 1.87 or whatever
