Hi Everyone!

I recently installed Daoc from scratch using the "how to connect" guide, i followed all the steps, and tried to start the Daoc Portal.

However as it starts up it crashes as soon as the small updater window appears, it says connect.exe and then the whole portal crashes, only to find it starting again by itself 1 second later, and then it cycles like this until i CTRL ALT DEL and stop the program from there.

I tried reinstalling it 3 times and still no success, i would very much like to play again if someone can help me get the game started.

Kind Regards J

i can also add that if i look at the folder as the crash/start cycles are active 2 files in the folder are disappearing/appearing as the cycle continues.

update.Updater and update.connect

Unfortunately theres no error message mate :(

The sequence is following :

Right click daoc portal
Run as admin
Program serverlist/login page appears
Updater window appears with connect.exe in the info field
And then boom, program crashes and simply shuts down only to find it self doing the same thing 1 sec later

The whole process from run as admin to crash takes about 1.5 seconds

Make sure you install .NET 3.5 properly and maybe also try installing .NET 4.

What I also suggest would be to use an installation folder which is not on drive C.
