I've tried all the troubleshooting I can find, including those suggested here: https://forums.ddo.com/index.php?th...-as-crowdsourced-by-many-players-advice.1666/. It's not Direct X, not the Visual Basic C++ version, not the firewall, not the antivirus, not the server, not the Internet Provider, etc.
I've run DDO on this unit for 7+ years and not much of a hitch I haven't solved myself since I have a background in tech support. But this just stumps me. The DND Launcher works fine, but when launching the game, it just leads to "Failed to launch client". The dndclient.exe doesn't even run in the task manager. It's like the launcher doesn't detect it, even when I force drag the dndclient.exe to the launcher.
And it's not the hardware or graphics card, since I can run DDO on an even older 32-bit laptop than the 64-bit one I'm having problems with. Even if it were the graphics card, the launcher would at least run the dndclient.exe and crash when there's a graphics incompatibility or issue.
Anyone else experienced something like this? Any solution?
