Install or update

  1. Need the base game first? Download and extract the original Offline DAoC v0.3 release.
  2. Close the game, server and launcher. Download UPDATE-OFFLINE-DAOC.cmd and Update-OfflineDAoC.ps1 into your game folder (next to START OFFLINE DAOC.cmd) and run the .cmd.
  3. It downloads the update pack, checks its SHA-256, backs up every file it replaces under update-backups, and installs it. Saves, account.txt and configs are never touched. After the first update, run UPDATE OFFLINE DAOC.cmd from the game folder to get later releases.

Coming from a v0.3 game with characters? The first launch asks for a one-time Camlann world reset (full backup first, local account kept). Old characters do not carry over.

Changes in 0.237.0

Added

  • Battleground portal keeps: the 24 rebuilt portal keeps of the campaign
    battlegrounds get the Eden service set at startup when no keep guard,
    merchant or hastener stands within 700 units: a realm hastener near the
    landing, two fighters at the gate, up to six static casters along the walls
    and three DPS plus two Hitback training dummies, floor-snapped and proven
    inside the closed ring. Runtime only (no mob rows). Guards use the
    bracket's maximum level and never aggro; Hitback dummies hit back their
    attacker, as on Eden. Eden's Void Merchant is skipped (its class does not
    exist here). Logged as BATTLEGROUND_PORTAL_KEEP_SERVICES / _SKIPPED
    (bug 142).
  • Battleground central keeps without native guards (Leirvik, Killaloe, Lion's
    Den, Caer Claret, Thidranki, Wilton) get Molvik's native guard layout: its
    40 archers, fighters, healers and casters are copied in the keep frame,
    snapped to the navmesh floor, kept only where a campaign camp can reach
    them and 150 units apart (at most 40 per keep). They are normal keep guards
    of that keep (capture, level, respawn) but are never saved. Logged as
    BATTLEGROUND_KEEP_WALL_GUARDS (bug 140).
  • /battlegrounds is an alias of /battleground; /battleground list shows
    each bracket's central keep owner, and /ck marks a campaign keep whose
    lord is defeated and unclaimed (bug 141).

Fixed

  • Battleground patrols and ambushes spawn: each encounter bot's brain was
    built before its placement was synchronized, so it took its zone from
    (0,0,0), refused its goal and was deleted (zero squads in 0.234.0 and
    0.235.0). A failed party now stops after its first member, and skips name
    the failing step (detail=route:<step> / spawn:<step>) (bug 129).
  • Claiming a keep no longer freezes the game loop for about a second: the
    keep and its components were written in 22 separate transactions. The
    claim now runs in one KeepSaveBatch and logs KEEP_STEP_TIMING owner=claim steps (bug 143).

Changed

  • Live verification of 0.235.0 (2026-10-10, 21:04–21:32): bot guilds claim
    battleground keeps (bug 128), lord deaths no longer stall the loop (bug 134),
    every campaign keep has a lord (bug 130), route-pocket self-escapes are gone
    and stuck battleground leaves fell from 50 % to 27 %.
  • Server Release build passes with zero errors; the touched test classes
    pass (58 tests).
