For all that can't play because of the patch server :

create a start.bat file in your game folder and put this in it :

call login.dll



Just start the game with this bat file and it won't connect to the patch server

I was using win2k pro on the PC that now runs XP...

Reason I switched ?? patch 1.62 screwed up and made a living hell with constant reboots etc while playing...

ONly way to get it to work was to revert to some VERY old gfxdrivers...and poor performance etc

I got mad and in the end installed XP...
Now I'm only mad :D

You get ... The file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Creat an association for it in My Computer by clicking view and then clicking Folder options.

I think that only works if you HAVENT already patched yourself to the US version or am i wrong?. Also, i've altered the bypass.txt file to a .bat and its not changing icon and staying as a txt file. Any advice or am i just as fucked as half of Europe is?.

Indeed, if you have already patched to the US and don't have a backup copy of your daoc folder you are basically screwed until the european patch servers are fixed :(

yes only works ig you have not patched to the US version , if you have got ant part of the patch and dont have another install on you hard drive of a EU daoc then you have to waif for the update server to patch you to the EU version.

If how ever you only got the US camelot.exe and update.dat files then you are ok

and any 1 can send you the EU versions of those files

Note when you connect to the EU update server and it says that the camelot.exe client has been updated/new version , DO NOT CONNECT TO IT AGAIN that is when it start the US version down load

I got the US version too. By using the method with altering the update.dat file and making it read-only I got 1.62 back.

I run win98 and adding /call login.dll to the shortcut lets me play in 1.62 (unless they just removed the 1.64 download or something)
