Do you want to use the local server (click on NO), or do you want to use an alternative server list (click on YES)? iv clicked both yes and no multiple times and it gives me the same message "Could not download server list. Try agian later. where the list of servers should be it just says "loading..." but never does anything

Try to uninstall and reinstall daoc portal.

Failing that you can go onto the daoc portal website, get uthgards port and ip, and add them as a custom server and connect that way.

reinstalling did not work, and when i tryed making it a custom server i got this message above any ideas?

you don't edit your server name correctly.


On another side, i hope your server's name will not be Uthgaard or what ever similar to Uthgard, because this kind of typosquatting is not allowed.

Sounds like you have a Firewall or something blocking DAoC Portal.

I merged his topics, both related and kind of a double post.

Try placing this inside DAoC Portal directory http://www.dolserver.net/releases/files/dolloader.exe

Then reference your daoc portal path in your batch file.

For instance, if you place your batch file inside DAoC Portal directory, you shouldn't need to include a path, just dolloader.exe then create a shortcut from your batch file to your desktop.

An application to launch the DAOC Client to connect to a DOL Server, to use this file you must pass parameters into it, an easy way to do this is to create a batch file with the following content

@DOLLoader game.dll 127.0.0.1 10300 1 account pass

Path to game.dll - If DOL Loader is inside your DAOC folder (the one with game.dll) you can just use game.dll as the value here, otherwise you need to enter the path, an example of this is

@DOLLoader "c:\path with spaces\to\game.dll" 127.0.0.1 10300 1 account pass

Server IP's can be found on the DAOC Portal Server List, or if you are connecting locally you could use the value 127.0.0.1

Port's are usually 10300 but some servers have different ports they receive connections on, check on the DAOC Portal Server List

and save the file as connect.bat, running this file will load up your game client and connect to the desired server.
