Do you see a file named update in your DAoC directory? If yes, then you didn't enable file extensions in your Windows Explorer. To do so navigate to Tools > Folder Options > View > Advanced Settings > Files and Folders to see if Hide extensions for known file types is checked. If it is, clear this box.

If there still is no update.dat you can easily create it yourself. Open an editor (such as Notepad) and copy the code lines from the News into this file. (Note: Remember to follow the instructions on changing the path if you don't use LotM add-on. Also, make sure there are no spaces at the end of the lines! Otherwise, the update won't work.) Save as update.dat and run camelot.exe.

Alternatively, double-clicking on camelot.exe should start the update process anyway. Make sure you have selected the Do complete file-check option. When the update is done your version either is 1.87 (when you installed a European version) or 1.89 (when you are running an US client). Both versions are good to continue playing. :wink:

Finally, if none of the steps above are successful there's always the option to download DAoC from the official sites: Europe and US...
Happy hunting!

1.89 is NOT recommended to play on Uthgard, as it's still buggy and does not work well with DOL

I can only speak for myself...but I have yet to see the first problem with 1.89 - until now it's been just fine! :D I guess everyone has to try for themselves, though. (Don't forget that if it doesn't work it's easily reverted back to 1.87 by updating from European server.)

PS: There's a minor issue with my custom UI (Ghost) which doesn't display the UI's options panel for new characters resulting e.g. in a missing XP bar. :? However, while waiting for the author's update I found a workaround in copying an older character's layout.
Happy hunting!
