Now I am trying to launch DAOC with the new client and the new DAOCPortal, but the game freeze at the end of the basic load and says "Pres ESC to exit". I asume, that this is becouse of US version of the game, but DAOCPortal doesn't have EU update option anymore. Maybe that's becouse it supose allways update to EU version now? Anyway, I patched the game through DAOCPortal and it doesn't help me. Maybe there is a patch or some files to update the game manually?

As I said, I followed that instruction, but still it doesn't work. I think something happened, and the new DAOCPortal don't update the game now. Could someone give me a files for this update? Or give me a path to update (which is placed into update.dat file). Actually, anyone could help me by just show me the txt inside their update.dat file.

STARKILLER Warder Posts: 18 Joined: Sep 03, 2009 00:00	Reply with quote by STARKILLER » Jan 28, 2012 15:46 No, it doesn't. But it takes me one step closer to the solution. Thank you. I sought DAOCPortal might change update path in that file to it's own server with files, needed to play on freeshards, 'couse it says something like that when patching. Still I need that files. I doubt game doesn't starts becouse it doesn't have classic mod. I think it suppose to start without this mod. Am I right?

Installed Daoc with the cam.exe dl from live now you cant connect. my suggestion: install from an old version before like an old cd from si or so where you bought daoc (this will help you when uthgard needs old files) and than start cam.exe to update. i'm not quite sure atm if its still needed to dl something afterwords (for run the game i'm not speaking about entering breif e.g.), i will read through the topics but i think i have something in mind where blue sais its not longer needed. Edit: Blue wrote:No need to downgrade below 1.109. It works flawlessly for me. in the link i postet before still it seems to be good to download the zip file afterwords as it seems there is an error with quests and rewards. thats someone postet before blues answere boulderbolg wrote:For the sake of my friends who might be playing, I am posting this as an addendum to this tutorial to account for broken links, and how to rollback for 1.109. You will want to open the original tutorial in a second window, as I reference that for most of the steps. Follow Step 1 from the original tutorial to install the game client. For Step 2, Daoc Portal can be downloaded from this alternative link: http://sourceforge.net/projects/dolserv ... i/download Follow Step 3 to configure Daoc Portal. For Step 4, instead of downloading a patcher, you will have to manually patch the files. This rollback works for client version 1.109, and hopefully for future client versions as well. Download the zip file here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=8U4ZV0HX. This zip file contains the program files for the 1.104 daoc client. Unzip these files into your daoc installation folder. It should ask you if you want to replace the old files; go ahead and confirm this and overwrite the files that are in your daoc folder. For Step 5, installing the mods, download all of the mods from here: http://uthgard.net/index.php?option=com ... =2&lang=de. Save each of the mod files in the "C:\Program Files\DAoC Portal\mods" folder. The "mods" folder probably won't exist, so you will have to create a new folder and rename it to "mods" within your "DAoC Portal" folder. Now you have to apply the mods within Daoc Portal. Open Daoc Portal, and click "Client", "Mod Manager..." Accept the agreement, check all of the listed plugins (which should be listed if you saved the mod files in the correct location), and click the "Patch" button. Follow the rest of the original tutorial steps. + trishin said so aswell Trishin wrote:Downgrading should no longer be needed. + what gorilla postet if you have problems with daoc portal Boreg wrote:what i would do is the following: 1) make a folder on the root of your primary drive; eg. "C:\Games" 2) change the permissions on the folder so that the USERS group has MODIFY permission 3) Copy/Move the "Dark Age of Camelot" game folder from "C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts" into "C:\Games" the path then becomes "C:\Games\Dark Age of Camelot" 4) Do the same for DAoCPortal - Move to "C:\Games\DAoCPortal" 5) Make sure any mods you have downloaded have been placed into "C:\Games\DAoCPortal\Mods" 6) Patch using the DAoCPortal Mod Manager 7) Choose the Uthgard server, Right Click and edit your Quick Logins then save 8.) Choose a login from the dropdown and click play.

Like this you can also have bad password or so.

STARKILLER Warder Posts: 18 Joined: Sep 03, 2009 00:00	Reply with quote by STARKILLER » Jan 28, 2012 19:13 Well, here is the details: I have the newest version of the game - 1.111. Game loading bar stops somewhere about 95%, and then goes nothing. If minimize the game, and maximize it back, - the text will appear right below the game version, and it says "Hit ESC to exit.". After the game is closed, DAOCPortal shows this Error Message: ------------------------------------------------ Error: Service not available. Explanation: The client could not connect to the server specified. Either it is not online, or you used a wrong ip/port. If these are not the reason, you may try to update your client to an EU version, as this error is also displayed if the client is not supported by the server. Ping google.com: success ------------------------------------------------ As for the patch for manual update, I want to try it, as I said before. But look at the link from the boulderbolg instruction - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=8U4ZV0HX . As you can see, it doesn't work anymore:) And I am still need this files.

STARKILLER Warder Posts: 18 Joined: Sep 03, 2009 00:00	Reply with quote by STARKILLER » Jan 28, 2012 19:41 Thanks. I replaced game.dll from version 1.109. I expected it will solve my proplem, but it wasn't change anything. I also tried to run 2 year old version of the game (don't remember version number), and it gave the same result. Maybe some additional files needed, not just game.dll?
