Recovered all my characters hot bar/screen layout files (Thanks Abydos). Reloaded Bob's UI. When I start the game sometimes it all looks normal. The next log in the screen resolution is set to the lowest and all the keyboard settings show as "not set". Also when using the Uthgard launcher I get to account selection screen, select the realm I've transferred to (38 hrs ago) and the game just closes. After 3 or 4 attempts the game will work and get me to character screen. Any ideas on why the wonky behavior? thanks

Set it to Atlantis changed water type, shadows to none, set resolution to highest, saved and quit. Log back in and it's back to lowest resolution different water settings and shadows.

Just for completeness, set your settings, log into the game and then log out completely. (no force quit)

Log in using Atlantis. I stay in game until I got message saying "character has been saved" do /q wait the 20 seconds and the game closes instead of going back to the character select screen.

Glacier Myrmidon Posts: 135 Joined: Jul 05, 2015 01:22	Reply with quote by Glacier » May 31, 2021 00:37 I have uninstalled AVG and Spybot/Beacon. Made sure video card drivers are up to date. Went back and did repair on the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 for x86 to make sure it was functional. Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6 can't be installed since newer version is incorporated into Win10. /q drops me to desktop still instead of character screen.

I uninstalled DAoC and Uthgard launcher. Re-installed everything. Same issue. Log in at lowest res set some movement keys. Rode/Run to different zones trying to see if it would do anything. Any port into or out of SF/Jord/Housing shuts they game down. The same thing with /q. Porting inside housing (from someone else's house to mine) works normally.

Once the Custom folder is placed inside the UI folder with a corrupt file and gets "executed" it bugs the game settings , not a coder so my description . Even removing the Custom folder from the UI folder won't correct it. So I hope Currently I can swap toons with no crash, hot bars and screen layout are working correctly.
