Mythic made a minor change to game.dll so it will not connect from the command line or using any of the tools we have out now.

If you still want to play on DOL servers, you should copy your DAOC dir, and dont upgrade that one untill we find a work around.

A work around has been developed now. Right now it is more difficult then before but I think somebody is already working on a client app that should resolve that issue again. For the mean time copy your cmd.exe out of windows/system32 directory and copy it anywhere else. Change the name of it to login.dll, then go back to the original command prompt and go to the login.dll of the former cmd prompt you copied over and changed the name of. once you open this file it will open a command prompt in a command prompt and then once in this view you may open game.dll normally with "game.dll ip port user pass"

cmd.exe -- copy to /game/isles/newdir/login.dll

make a batch file
containing:
cd path\to\game\isles\newdir
@start login.dll

will bring up a new command window

from there you can start game.dll ip port user pass

(repeat from what akira posted, I think easier to read)

1) Copy your "cmd.exe" from wyndow folder to DaocClient Folder (Ex: /game/isles/newdir/")
2) Rename your old "login.dll" as you want
3) Rename "cmd.exe" as "login.dll"
4) Make a batch file containing the follow line:
@start login.dll "/C @start game.dll YourIP YourPort UserId Password && Pause && exit"
5) Start the Batch File
Enjoy

Light, can you post this in it's own forum?
also, in your package... Login.dll needs to have a lower case L
login.dll

LightBringer · Postby **LightBringer** » Mon Dec 29, 2003 2:24 pm

I am used to make all first letter with Uppercase, i will try to remember to use all lowercase.

Is it possible to add some autosave to the login application?

just a pain in the neck to type that in over and over specialy when you change things and have to log in and out many times.

What programming language is that written in?
If it's C#, could you please provide the source? I want to see how you got it working on 98
