windows 7 compatible with ddo?

[rama]

Hi guys. Before last update i used to log into the game with the only lap top available i got right now. Windows 7 OP. I would type in my user name and password then click Log in. DDo would open directory where i had ddo.exe and then i would click on it and i was in. After last update i type in name and password and interface stays at INITIALIZING without opening directory to get to ddo .exe. I cant log in.Does anyone know how to solve this?

Start with tying to run as admin, then steps 2 & 10, and then move on to other steps. https://forums.ddo.com/index.php?th...-as-crowdsourced-by-many-players-advice.1666/

2) Use 64-bit client (launcher > options > general tab> 64-bit) (forcing it to 32-bit might also help some people) (gotta love opposing advice but old games play silly like that). THIS SOLVED THE ISSUE. . Thank you very much guys

I'm pretty sure DDO would still run on Windows 95 if you could get DirectX to install lol

Stability , size , confidentiality.
What is beyond me is that 99% of the people launch Windows with admin rights, which the primary & major security flaw when browsing online, whatever the Win version.

Stabilty, IDK.. depends on CPU; Size.. isn't DDO install the same size ( -Linux, if that's a thing on STEAMing)

Never understood that myself

EDIT: the admin part, I never had any issues with WIN10 or WIN11, the only reason to stay on WIN7 would be an old computer but I when never do any online purchases or banking on it
