So I switched today from norton to webroot because my norton subs expired and the guy at best buy said webroot was better. Since installing I've had trouble getting into the game. After the I hit ok and accept the eula the screen goes blank and no daoc appears. This is troubling. Anyone have this problem/know a work around?

Thanks in advance.

You do not state if your webroot version has only antivirus or if it has a firewall.


Also, is Norton still installed but shut off or did you completly uninstall Norton? You need to uninstall Norton or it can still block access to some/most ports. Even after you uninstall Norton you may still need to use the Norton Uninstall Tool to ensure your system is Norton free.


It sounds like your firewall (or old parts of Norton) may be blocking web access to the game camelot.exe or to a game .dll file. I am not familiar with webroot. There should be a way for you to tell your firewall what programs it should 'allow'. You need to put the Camelot.exe and .dlls on the 'allow' list.


I agree with you getting rid of Norton because on at least 2 occasions a fully updated Norton allowed a virus/trojan to gain access to my system and did not inform me. It was erratic operation that caused me to investigate and find that the computer was infected.


Then there was one occasion where Norton found an error on my HDD and asked if I wanted the error corrected. When I clicked “Yes” to the repair, Norton fixed things without telling me what it was going to do and without telling me what it did (when I clicked Yes I fully expected to be given an undo file or to be told what the error was and to verify I really wanted the error fixed). Norton simply said, “Error fixed” (or some such thing) and moved on. I did not realize that there was a problem until I later rebooted and found that Norton set the boot record of the 80GB HDD to 18 GB (or something dramatically different from what it was supposed to be) and the data on my HDD was unreadable. I hate Norton and applaud you getting rid of it.

I'm not a tech guy, but I have webroot on my comp and I'm able to play fine. I always get a prompt, to allow me to allow DAOC to manipulate my system.

I run two accounts on the same comp and just alt tab over. No problems.

Hey Dukkman

Actually I am getting the same thing that you are getting. I went into it a bit more in detail, than you did, but yes, I am having the same problem. It may not be webroot though, because I had webroot installed on my PC before and DAOC worked perfectly fine, in addition the gentleman above me also stated that he has no problem with Webroot either. What version of Webroot do you have?

Webroot antivirus with spy sweeper. And I'm not sure its webroot or the remnants of Norton as someone suggested. But my problems coincided with the webroot installation.

I have Webroot Internet Security Essentials. Hmmm, were you ever able to fix the problem? If so how?
