Eden-DAoC

Hi,

I've had no problems until I decided to try and install Reshade. Since then, I cannot launch the game. Every time I attempt to, I receive a "Renderer Creation Failed" Message. No Anti-Virus is on. I simply download ReShade, attached it to camelot.exe from my DAoC folder and that was it.

Has anybody else had this problem? I'm on my 3rd fresh install.

Don't use reshade then.
You likely picked shaders or a version incompatible with DAoC

Hello ! =)

I have a similar problem.
I installed DAoC yesterday, successfully, and could play for several hours.
Then, just before quitting, I changed two things in the settings. (Inverted mouse look, and resolution switched from 1920×1200 to 1600×1200.)
And today, when I launch the game, I get a window saying « Renderer creation failed. »

I looked around and went to edit the user.dat file in AppData/Roaming, to switch back the resolution from 1600×1200 to 1920×1200 (I don’t know the setting for the non inverted mouse look, but I suppose this is not the source of the problem), without any success, I’m still getting the same error message.

Any idea to solve this, wihout deleting and re-installing entirely the game ?

Thanks.

You can delete the default.ini to reset it.

Renderer creation failed sometimes happens to people who play on laptops or other devices that have internal and dedicated GPUs. Try disabling the internal GPU.

Thanks for your answer.
I tried removing the default.ini file, but the error was still there, and it recreated an identical default.ini file by the way.

I tried also removing (from the AppData folder) the <character>.ini file, and even the user.dat and the other two files of the folder, but the error was still there (though, when removing the user.dat, the black screen with the error message was full screen instead of windowed).

I use a desktop computer, but, sadly, for now, it only has an internal GPU and no graphics card (I had no other choice on this last buy), but DAoC was working with it, and I played other MMOs with it, too.

I believe I will try deleting and re-installing the game. Thanks again.

That kinda confirms that your internal GPU is causing the issue. I have no idea how to fix that since I don't use one. I recommend checking whether drivers are up to date, whether compatibility modes help, etc
