I bought a new computer last fall and it a pretty good set up but I can't get Daoc to play and I would like to return to the game.

My video card is

ATI Radeon HD 5570 1G

Is there anyway to make it work or do I have to get a new video card? If so what do you recommend? A lot of the video cards are the DAOC support video card approved list aren't for sale anymore or are lacking in other areas (I do video editing)

Thanks in advance for any help you have.

Exactly. That video card should play the game just fine.


What we need is exact symptoms (with errors stated word for word) of what is happening. With that info we can probably help determine the roadblock.


For most people with new computers the problem tends to be:


1. They are trying to install using old disks rather than downloading the game from Mythic.

2. They have a firewall that is blocking access.

3. The proper video drivers and/or direct x are not installed.

4. The antivirus is causing problems with the game.

5. virus

'Renderer Creation Failed' is the error I get. I have downloaded Directx 11 like support told me.

I also downloaded DAOC from the Daoc website.

Number 1, I'd try different sets of video card drivers.

Do you mean delete my current drivers and locate a different set?

"Render Creation Failed" is almost always a problem with the video card drivers or direct x.


If you are reinstalling the video card drivers or installing slightly older drivers as a test, I would suggest that you use a driver cleaner before installing the new drivers.


edit: also, try restarting your computer. That sometimes fixes the 'Render Creation Failed' problem.
