Hello,

Im new here and am new to DAOC (Bought the game and never played it). & am having issues with connecting.

I am using the DAOC Epic Edition,With "v1.91" (I think thats my problem) I have used all of the launchers and none work and the problem i get is when i load the game the load bar loads, then as it hits 100% it says Service is Unavailable plesae click Esc to EXIT.

Here is my Connect.bat

Code: Select all

@echo off
rem ***************************************************************************

rem * The commandline of the launcher is the following

DOLLoader game.dll 127.0.0.1 10300 1 Username Password


Of course Username and Password are my username and pass (didn't want people know my stuff lol)

The server is down, if you didnt read the forums =_= DUH!

Go home page, and scroll over.

You're welcome.

Also are you using DAoC Portal? Did you configure it right?

I have used all of the launchers and have configured them all. Oh and i did not see any info about the server down,Could you point me to it please?

Im a noob, nuff said!

DOLLoader game.dll 127.0.0.1 10300 1 Username Password

Ok thanks so does that mean it was my problem or is the server really down?

Well hopefully the server is down cause i fixed it and same problem

Also ive done some more searching and since im on v1.91 could this be my problem?

Well 127.0.0.1 is "localhost" (= your computer) and the serverip is 89.238.64.166.

Just use this line:

@DOLLoader game.dll 89.238.64.166 10300 20 <your account> <your password>

Nope did that and still didn't work.

Error = Service Not Available

Can anyone just tell me if the version im on is my problem,Or what could be wrong?

Also is the realm down? cause then i can go away and not feel like im A NOOB lol.

and just so you can see a final version of my connect.bat

Code: Select all

Just use your path to your game.dll and put the whole path into " " as a String. That should work.

Nope still same error

Hm, please make sure that your DAoC version is higher than 1.86 and lower than 1.90.

You can check it on the screen where it says that the service is unavailable.
Another fact might be your router or firewall.

THANK GOD!!!

i have said its 1.91.....................................How would i go about downgrading and whats wrong with 91?

Open your update.dat inside your DAoC directory and edit it:

Delete the text which is written inside and paste this one in:

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


Save it. After that execute camelot.exe. It will patch the actual European Version with english texts. After the update everything might be fine.

Awesome thank you all for the help and i hope to see you all in the Dark Age of Camelot!
