Loading screen freezes. Logged in on other toons fine. Had a CSR move my bugged character to Aegir, and I was able to log on fine from then on. But now it's happening again.

I don't want to have to contact a CSR every time I want to log on my bonedancer.

Did you look inside DAOC's critical.log file immediately after the problem happens? It may contain a description of the problem. For example, DAOC may be unable to load a particular file.

The critical.log file is in your Documents\Electronic Arts\Dark Age of Camelot folder. You can open it with Notepad.

Thanks I will check it out next time.

Have the same problem with my necro. No custom ui used for this logon.

Will download a fresh version of daoc and compare logs. Will take some time though .

So far, I've found a few people with the same exact problem. Their classes are...

Bonedancer
Bonedancer
Spirit Master
Cabalist
Necromancer (Fellow above in this thread)


Anyone else notice a trend? I think Mythic screwed the pooch on pet classes.

LothianChef, if you want to save time, here's something you can try before you download the whole game from scratch.

There are two errors in your log that sound like they could have something to do with your problem:

*** Could not find zonejump.csv from [frontiers/zones/zone164/csv164.mpk]
*** Could not find zonejump.csv from [frontiers/zones/zone167/csv167.mpk]

The two files in those messages (csv164.mpk and csv167.mpk) are probably missing or corrupted, so you want to force the patcher to download new copies of them. Here's how to do that:

1. Rename those two files so the patcher can't find them. For example, rename them csv164.mpk.old and csv167.mpk.old.

2. Rename a file called mft.myp in DAOC's install directory so the patcher can't find it. For example, rename it mft.myp.old.

3. Run the patcher.

Is this the critical log? Couldnt find anything named critical.logs ... only "logs"

Found this under 'critical'

**** ERROR: Could not load: Items/PICT_Hibernia_Shield_Small.nif
**** ERROR: Could not load: Items/PICT_Hibernia_Shield_Large.nif

Fixed it.

All I had to do was delete my roaming character folder.
