I had the game working fine on my computer last week, over the weekend my hard drive crapped out on me so I had to buy a new one.

Installed and updated to Windows 7 now, was running Vista on my old hard drive.

When I select the path of "DAoC Installation" in the DAOC Portal settings, it gives me this error:

Invalid Client: The DAoC Installation specified if not valid!

The installation path is: C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\Dark Age of Camelot

The only thing I have done since installing Windows 7 and running updates is install DAoC and DAoC portal.

Please help!

Be sure to run DAoC Portal and DAoC on Administrator. I had the same problem on Vista...

How to connect to Uthgard (21.6.12)

download DAoC from the official side
(version should be 1.112 then)

download the 1.109dll
-google it
put that file in this directory C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\Dark Age of Camelot, replace the game.dll
(if you don't you get: You have not been invited to this kind of server! message)

Download DAoC-Portal:
(connect.bat=dolloader is soon not supported anymore)
Install DAoC-Portal, it got many nice features.
You need .net 3.5+ for it(on Vista/w7 or .net2 if you are using windows xp).

If you want to access to the old frontier zones you may should install the classic patch, found here in the Uthgard-forums in the downloads section in the left bar.
You can download and usually double-click should install it into the DAoC-Portal. If it sais something about mods folder missing, simply create one in the DAoC-Portal direction and put the files in there. Than go to mods in DAoC-Portal and patch.



if you did it in exact this order you can ignore the "installation path is not valid" error

Just ignore this step.
Downgrade to 1.109, apply mod, that's all you need.
