Free MMORPG Forums

I'm honestly just curious to how many people here in the forums were able to actually play the game f2p while the servers were up?

I myself was not able to run the game. After logging in and selecting my server, I would launch the game and it would crash only a few seconds later. Apparently that has been happening to others as well from what I have read on the DDO forums. People keep getting crashes... Sadly I found out the game does not support vista, which I am running. But still I have had no problems with other games. It sure as hell is not my graphics card, which is a HD Radeon 4670. Possibly my resolution which is at 1440x900 was the issue... However I changed my res and even tried maintain aspect ratio but both failed. I even tried to run the game in XP compatibility mode. All failed...

So how many of you were able to actually launch the game and or play it this morning?

I run it on Vista without any problems. Ever since I got this new PC I been playing DDO on this machine. Had it almost a year now and never had a problem with DDO running. Even through the F2P tests.

this game supports vista i've been playing it for a while now.

also if yo uget like green streaks on screen before crash just hit enter that should return it to normal.

Well then any ideas to why me and a few others keep crashing a few seconds after launch? Note I'm able to play loads of different games. I was even able to run a trail of Age of Conan on high with only a bit of graphical lag. I know DDO is no where near AoC... So far this is the only game to ever do this to me. I'd understand if the game crashed when it was actually loading, but this damn thing was crashing a few seconds into the INTRO movie, not the actual game.

The game can run on vista but from what I read there is no official support for vista yet. This is written somewhere by a staff member in tech support.

Also I think I saw a green streak but was not really paying attention... I will try to hit enter when the servers get back up.

I can run it with vista with no problem.
Try to update your video card driver and such.

Which client did you DL?

High-res copy or the normal copy?

I downloaded from the first link. Which was high-res but the ability to play the game while you downloaded.

I'm ashamed to say but the highest speed available in this town is maxed at half a mb... It is enough to not lag in games, but downloading anything takes forever... I've only downloaded half the game so far while I slept. I just hope I can play by today, I have to work tomarrow.

Well it worked fine while I played it. But I didn't really play it much, as the servers went down shortly after I got back from work.

But I'm on XP, so... much less likely to suffer compatability issues.

It was the intro movie... Wow seriously? Well I hit enter right when it launched like suggested and it works fine... Stupid intro. I will have to spam ENTER every time I want to play now... *sigh*

Servers are back up btw.
