I'd like to appoint that you don't need to buy the catacombs client to use it, you could upgrade your Atlantis client following this link http://www.darkageofcamelot.com/patches/

Wasnt aware of that, thanks for the link. Grabbing it now.

The only thing I see as a potential problem from your sysinfo is UltraMon. It may be incompatible, for some reason, with WinEQ 2. Can you try disabling it to see if this is the case? I can download it and debug if that's it, but you'll have to tell me what features you're using from it for me to make sure it gets fixed.

I tried it disabling all the extra software, including ultramon. Sysinfo below

Same thing, I could enter the password and choose my server, then it crashes.

Any ideas that I could try?

Hmm well, the Ultramon *driver* still appears.

I hate to ask you to completely uninstall it to test this if you usually use it, but it's still the only thing unusual that I see. I'm installing the Catacombs update to my TOA client right now, so we'll see if I experience problems after that.

kaeller · Post by **kaeller** » Wed Aug 03, 2005 11:29 pm

I desinstaled Ultramon to test it, and same result, after clicking the 'ok' button at the login window I only see a brief flash of a new window in the uper left corner of my monitor, 1/4 of the monitor more or less, then nothing.
The task is killed just after it.
Same thing with SI client, and even in my other computer, that have other Vid card and very dif. setup.
Sysinfo below from my second computer.

I tested Inner Space and it seem to work, at least I could see the mem/fps monitor.
I'm baffled as what could be causing this behaviour, must be something very basic that I can't think what could be.

Any help will be appreciated.

Post by **Lax** » Thu Aug 04, 2005 10:33 am

Very weird. However, I did just notice what is probably the problem.

D3D9.dll is not loaded in the sysinfo.txt from the first two. That's bad

I just made a patch that SHOULD fix the problem for you. Restart WinEQ 2, let it patch itself (there will be no patch notes for this one, just a couple new DLLs), and see if it works.

kaeller · Post by **kaeller** » Thu Aug 04, 2005 11:47 am

No luck, same result, I'm wondering if WinEQ has some dependency that's absent from my comp. Like some windows service.
Anyway, this is the new SysInfo.

Nope. WinEQ 2 doesnt have any dependencies that IS doesnt have.

I'm seeing once again that a D3D9.dll is not loaded in the game.dll process. I need to know two things:
1. Is D3D9.dll present in C:\Windows\System32 (it should be)
2. Is D3D9.dll present in E:\Games\Camelot\Catacombs (it should not be)

kaeller · Post by **kaeller** » Thu Aug 04, 2005 12:15 pm

found the following files:
C:\Program Files\InnerSpace\IS-D3D9.dll
C:\Program Files\WinEQ2\WinEQ2-D3D9.dll
C:\WINDOWS\System32\D3D9.dll
C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386\D3D9.dll (should delete this).

If you think it's a problem with DX9 I'll remove it and reinstall to see.

Post by **Lax** » Thu Aug 04, 2005 12:49 pm

Hmmm odd that it doesnt load the D3D9.dll then. I have the ServicePackFiles\i386\D3D9.dll as well, so I dont think that matters. I would definitely try reinstalling DirectX. Running out of ideas though

For comparison purposes, here is my sysinfo. Mine is installed to a different directory, but no that does not matter.

I'd say it could be something relating to hyperthreading, but that would apply to only one of your systems. It also cant be dual monitors.

Make sure the files i highlighted in red in my sysinfo exist on your machine. And have you scanned for viruses and spyware?

Past that, I'm really out of ideas without reinstalling things like video drivers, DirectX, etc. I cant see your driver versions since D3D9 isnt loaded, so I'm just assuming theyre up to date, and besides the fact that one is ATI and one is NVIDIA so theyre not likely to be having the same problem anyway. Reinstalling drivers couldnt hurt though. Last resort is reinstalling Windows, since I can say without a doubt that it works fine on a clean system updated to SP2.

I found a potential issue in my earlier fix, please re-patch WinEQ 2 and see if the newest version helps

One thing I've noticed with using DaoC with WinEQ2 is that sometimes it crashes after selecting my server. It appears that WinEQ2 tries to create the window (I see a small blank window open up briefly), but then crashes out.

Sometimes it takes 2 or 3 attempts before DaoC actually loads properly, and I get to my character select screen.

It's a bit annoying, but not deal-breaking for me, so I haven't complained much about it. Dunno if it might be related to the OP's problem, but figured I'd mention it, in case it helps.

I noticed that issue before as well, but have not experienced it recently. If I did, I might be able to fix it

that's exactly what I'm seeing.
Well, anyway windows didn't like my directx fiddling and crashed on me, in a way that i'll need to reformat my boot partition.
Then this weekend I'll be enjoing the pleasures of a complete windows reinstall, after it I'll report if the problem persists.
