Since we discovered a nasty exploit with all versions below 1.87 we will no longer accept connections with any version below 1.87 -- starting with the next reboot. If you have an older version you should preferably update using the European servers. US version 1.89 doesn't seem to be completely compatible to DOL, yet. Some people already reported massive problems with it. (Note: For other players, however, it works just fine.)

To update to version 1.87 open the update.dat file in your DAoC directory. Check that its content is as follows:

Code: Select all

Mythic Patch
patch.camelot-europe.com:1280/updates/english/labyrinth/mpatch.dat
patch.camelot-europe.com:1280/updates/english/labyrinth/mpatch.dat

If your file is different change the existing paths to those above. (Perhaps you need to exchange labyrinth [Labyrinth of the Minotaurs] with your respective add-on, i.e. atlantis [Trials of Atlantis], catacombs [Catacombs], or darkness [Darkness Rising].)

Now that nobody can use version 1.87 and er... and this has been solved so that er... that nobody can use this exploit anymore... just wandering, what exacly was this exploit?

same but i doubt gm will post it here ;p

Why to update server over 1.8+ if the features what comes with them will not be implemented anyway.
Better work with 1.8 to make it work fine.
or am i missing something?

You are, as already said in the first post. Versions under 1.87 are able to use massive exploits and bugs which we don't want to let go any more. On the other hand there was a topic before which said that many NPCs are not visible for lower clients so that you are not able to go to a trainer for example.

Correct.

Client version has nothing to do with the game features we implement. Client is only the engine that makes things visible. Nothing else.

There have been lately some problems including client's differences.

Could i suggest to Limit UTH to EU 1.89 ?

Would also like to see Uthgard operating on 1.89 since there is no more Lagjumping/Window Dragging in this Version anymore.

so it will no longer be possible to cruise on the roofs in camelot?? :'(

many ppl get freaky lag with 1.89, in rvr while casters beside, and they cant go to maincitys anymore,bc then they start to get ld.. i would not suggest to go to 1.89 minimum atm..

when did this happen?
i noticed lag but not more than the guys with patch level below 1.89?

1. check ur hardware - if its below requirement buy yourself a new pc
2. since the 1.89 is one of the biggest in europe released last 2 years - you might try to instal fresh copy of daoc
3. dont patch US cient with EU update


my current pc
AMD Athlon XP 2500+ 1.89 GHZ
775 MB RAM
128 ASUS ATI A9250
XP sp 2

Client
Darkness Rising downloaded after 1.89 Release
works perfectly in RvR and zonez, only maincity lags at start but smoothly disapears aswell

Disabled - water, cata skins, shadows, using highest framerate


Besides - you cannot get older versions anymore via official web

Many people are ****** because of new "icon" set.

It can be changed - you can download files from here
