Hi all! I would like to give this game a try! I followed the login instructions to the "T", but when I hit "login" I get a grey box telling me my "renderer creation failed".

I tried re-installing and restarting my computer, but no go.

Any suggestions?

This error is mostly related to the graphic card or its drivers. Which one do you have? Maybe an onboard card? Screen resolution?
I would assume you never started the game at all, you could try to play around with the resolution of the game in the user.dat:
%appdata%\Electronic Arts\Dark Age of Camelot and then somewhere inside.

There is a [main] section where you can put it i.e. in windowed mode or change the resolution.

windowed=1
screen_width=1920
screen_height=1080

When googling "daoc renderer creation failed" you will get a lot of hints what you can try.

In addition to what Halma wrote, check if your DirectX is up2date:

Thank you for your replies!

I have checked my DirectX and it says up to date. Additionally I checked my Windows 10 and its fully up to date as well. My NVIDIA drivers are also up to date.

I attempted to delete my USER file in %appdata% file location, but still got the same error. I can't edit the "main" folder apparently.

Since it was requested, these are my computers specs:
OP System: Windows 10 Home 64-bit Version 17134.523
Microprocessor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8550U CPU @ 1.8 GHZ
Memory: 16gb
System Board: 83Ba 57.31
BIOS: F.23

I would like to play, but if its not possible then thats ok.
