So, i have rebooted my PC just cause it wasnt rebooted for weeks now and cant login in getting Win32 error 2. I suppose i have to reinstall daoc cause error 2 means missing files ? Or am i wrong ?

Another update. System rollback solved this. Hope it will not be useless thread for those who will have same problem.

Is the error message:

"HTTP Error 12057: Unable to validate the revocation of the SSL certificate because the revocation server is unavailable"

If so, then open Control Panel > Internet Options > Advanced Tab > scroll down to Security section and UNCHECK "Check for server certificate revocation"

See here for the windows error codes. 2 in this case is ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND. That basically means some required file is missing, however, a "file" for this error could also be a required registry entry.
Now it depends on when this error happens, if it's right when you start the launcher then some c++ runtime installation could be faulty or a registry entry related to internet explorer usage, to rule out the latter you could start internet explorer once as that would setup some registry entries that may or may not be required (the launcher uses the windows built in http stuff and that somehow is a bit tangled with iex).
If you get it later then the daoc game.dll or some daoc file might somehow get removed between launcher start and login in which case you'd have to look at your anti virus.

Given that a system restore fixed it, the most likely reason was a missing registry key or a faulty c++ runtime.
