I just installed the client and it gets to the loading screen, when the loading bar reaches full, the game crashes and sends me back to the desktop with no error message or anything, it just cancels out. any input would be great, looking forward to playing the game again

Thanks!

Greetings Reiounis,

could you please try to answer some questions so I might figure out whats going on:

Did you install the DAoC client and the Uthgard Launcher?
Did you start the game from the Uthgard website (Play button)?
Did the Launcher patch your client successfully?
When the game launches, do you see "Connecting to Uthgard..." in the top left corner?
Do you use any custom UI? If so, please delete the "custom" folder in $CLIENT\ui then try logging in again. Maybe the custom UI is broken/outdated.

Thanks!

Wow! thank you for quick response!

No, I haven't downloaded any addons for the game
I have in fact downloaded the launcher and the game client
As far as I can tell it did patch successfully, I never got any indication saying otherwise
And yes, I do see "Connecting to Uthgard" in the top left.

I do apologize as the information I can give you doesn't seem to narrow it down everything works fine right up to the point where it finishes loading where it SHOULD take me to the realm selection then bam! Right back to the desktop

Thanks for clarifying my questions.

Did you create your account today?
Was your first login in the past 6 hours?

If you want please PM your clients log files. Maybe I can see something.
Those logs should be in Documents\Electronic Arts\Dark Age of Camelot\*.log
You could upload the contents to http://pastebin.com/ and add those URLs to the PM.

I apologize I'm not clear on how to use this but I'll play around with it if this doesn't help the situation...

I created the account probably just over 6 hours ago by now.

When I open the file that you described this is what I see... (by file name)

These file names are under my Documents - Electronic Arts - Dark Age of Camelot

animnode.log
chat_buffers.tmp
critical.log
debug.log
frame.txt
ui.log
world.log

Yes, please follow these steps:

1) open one of those files at a time
2) ctrl+a
3) ctrl+c
4) open http://pastebin.com/
5) ctrl+v in the "New Paste" box
6) change option "Paste Exposure" to: Unlisted
7) type the file name in "Paste Name / Title"
8) click "Create New Paste"
9) copy URL into PM
10) repeat from 1) until you have no log file left

I dont know why but its not letting me paste there, all i can do in there is retype the file name, i've no idea why, copy and paste is simple...

was there something in particular you were gonna try looking for? maybe i can find it.

Just tryed with one of my client log files -> I see no issue copy and pasting the content of debug.log
Please try again.

Okay, I believe I successfully copied that log, I think I was misunderstanding, apologies... The username is under Reiounis on the site

As I said before, please PM me the pastebin URLs you just created.
Looks like this: http://pastebin.com/ikvYzksD

SO sorry im being a pain about this... do you want me to rinse and repeat for the other files as well?

Please read the 10 step post above.
Can't help you otherwise.

The issue is known and will be fixed on next reboot in some minutes.
