renamed game.dll to game.exe in the .bat file still didnt work

remove the @start, do not rename it to game.exe

ok removed @start so it looked like this game.dll 127.0.0.1 10300 anyusername anypassword and it came up like this C:\Mythic\Isles>game.dll 127.0.0.1 10300 anyusername anypassword, bad comand or file name

well, that's just messed up. You can try renaming game.dll to game.exe and then putting game.exe in the .bat. Otherwise i'm about out of ideas

You can not rename game.dll to game.exe as far as I know because then it won't execute properly anymore and will close itself after starting. It's built to require the name game.dll as far as I know
About Windows ME ... hmmm ... I knew ME was messed up. ME does not execute the game.dll because it does not recognize it as executable because of the ending .DLL Really stupid. I don't know a workaround since I have never run ME and don't know anyone running ME really :p
The last thing we can do for all the users not able to start the game with a batchfile, write a little executable eg. StartCamelot.exe or something that executes the game.dll as new process. This would work. Any programmer out there have the time to do this for our poor ME users?

Here you go. Only tested it on my xp box, but it seems to work.
Unzip to appropriate place, run StartDll game.dll and it should run up.
