I installed DDO on my new computer early this year, new build. Ran it, was fine, all on windows 11. Have not been back til today.
Opened with no issues other than windows asking me if it was okay (and I also ran as admin too in this trouble shoot).
It loaded, downloaded updates, went to log in, I logged in, asked to pick a world, I picked mine and pressed 'play'
At this point launcher just disappears and closes/crashes.
I tried a redownload/repair, it added something, maybe a direct x thing?
Either way, it won't open the game, period.

Now it did open back in april when I tried it, but not now. Confused.

I can't say for sure what may be causing your issues. But I have been using a lap top since Christmas of 2022 that has windows 11 and have had very few issues with DDO.

Like I said, I built a new comp in april, downloaded, loaded and it was all fine, worked okay. Did not play with it again til today and the launcher opens, updates, etc...goes to log in, I log in, I can pick a world to play in and when I hit play to go to the world....boom, it closes and that is all she wrote... I am going to go through the huge tedious task of all those steps listed in the forum post referenced above, but first I am going to just uninstall and reinstall it. First best guess for me.

It's a bit sad that players have found that many issues and potential fixes (and there's still more issues players have come across that still elude solutions). The fun of an old game that with a wide variety of systems trying to run it.

well, after doing this that and the other thing, after rebooting, reinstalling, repairing, changing settings, etc....what actually worked was just using the 32 bit version and it actually went to the game.

Yea, but it was and is just a great system. Not a fan of all the new stuff, just too much work for me to understand..miss the old days. Wish they had previous version servers that we could play with our old characters, like pre demon sands when AOE ruled for casters, and each major update there after.
still, I rarely do much gaming so I dont count..lol

Wish someone with some money would pay for a redesign bottom up fresh build with scalable interface and stuff to really make it pop...but the old school charm makes it rock...and it ALWAYS had issues...ha
