Hi All

A friend of mine wants to join Dark Age of Camelot, so I gave him my free copy of DAOC+SI that I got with Catacombs.

He is running XP+SP1

After installing the game, he regsitered on the website so he got all his passwords.

Next he starts up the game, it updates, then the login comes up, he types in the correct username and password, and then gets an error saying.
" An uncorrectable error has occurred in Login.dll"
And then the game closes.

I have got him to reload the game, start game with the cd's in drive, replaced login.dll with a same version, checked the patch files etc are the same as a SI install I have on my pc, disabled the XP firewall, and also added the daoc exe files to the xp firewall, ensured no other apps are running that may block the game, made sure ports are open that the game uses, and lastly he has tried his username and password on an install of SI on my pc, the username and password worked ok on my pc.

Does anyone have any idea's on this.

might be worth sending him your login dll so he can see if its ust that file thats corrupted

Hi

Thanks for your reply.

I have tried that and various other files that are in the game folder and still the same.

I also read on the US support site about removing login.dll and letting it recreate, I tried this and got the same result.

Bit of a weird one this have helped a few people join the game who are on the same os and sp, and never seen this before.

Few things I can think of (you seem to have pretty much everything covered!)
1) The game.dll is requesting to be loaded into a specific area of memory that just happens to be defective - got any spare ram you can swap around for him to test?

2) This is a complete shot in the dark - are all his regional and keyboard setting (including the default) set to be united kingdom?

3) Was the install done as a local/domain administrator, and is he running the account as a local/domain administrator?

thats if for now - all long shots really but worth a try.

hi

thanks for that I will pass this one and get him to check, will let you know how we get on.
