How freakin amusing, some dude on e-bay manages to do what GOA/DISTRIBUTOR/RETAILER couldn't do if you paid them (what we are!??)

As the Conservative poster go inthe UK at the moment

'How difficult is it too sell a CD on time?'

'Are you thinking what we're thinking?'

So you download the 900Mb patch or whatever it is and get the game graphics but just cant go into catacombs Areas?

You can do everything that someone who has done a physical CD install can do. Been to the new areas tonight.

so what are you missing from catacombs if you have all files but not the expansion activated? only the ability to start catacombs-class characters?

to save the poor Mythic patcher:

Take a copy of your TOA folder, put the US catacombs update.dat and run it from there. It'll only be a 900 meg patch or so.

230Mb if you've got latest US version already installed :)

you must have created a new directory or something,

take a copy of your old ToA folder, call it C:/Catacombs

put the update.dat you got given in that folder
run camelot.exe

just copy your toa folder to a new dir then change the info in the update.dat file to patch.daoc.net:1280/updates/catacombs/mpatch.dat 880mb > 2.3 gig :)

re-edit: OK, it's exactly what gamah was saying, but to make it easier - delete the contents of update.dat and replace with this:

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


If you use the URLs you were trying it will require certain US files to already exist and will not work with a carbon copy of the TOA folder, whereas this will.

Now it's saying: This client is out of date. please run the patcher to update to a current version.

When i run the patcher it stays the same :(

This is why it would be far more wise to patch from EU patch servers, I knew they come up few hours before game servers do and patched from TOA+NF EU 1.70 to Catacombs without any problems.

OK thanks to the help of quite a few ppl (Raven especially) it's now open but when i activate my account it just says Your modifiactions acepted. Changes will be made to your account in a ew minutes and a few minutes later it's not activated. I can also put my CD Key in over and over and it won't say it's been used :(
