DDO: LOTRO: With the exception of the 'client_highres.dat' (and client_highres_aux_1.datx for LOTRO) if any of the other files are missing this can cause the 201 error. File permissions or patching related issues: The games need to be run on a non-corrupted full admin user account on the system; in the case of Vista/Win7 it needs to be run under UAC (User Account Control) on a "Normal User" via "TurbineInvoker" (It can be run on an "Admin User" with UAC disabled but issues can arise since the game was written with UAC/Normal in mind). Windows XP users usually get this error if they are not using a profile with Administrator privileges, or one that has incorrect/misconfigured permissions (Malware is one corruption cause, often it "attacks" user permissions to make itself harder to remove from the system).

Win XP, sp3. game was functioning perfectly right up to server shut down for ROI install. had the usual red x issue on trying to connect for update. once I got past that, everything seemed to update fine. I have tried copying backup folder to game folder, re-update and same result. 3 times.

After downloading the full installer and doing a full install and updating successfully, I keep getting a pair of Game Error [201] each time I try to connect to a game server. This is a new Acer 8.1 system from Walmart, nothing user installed other than DDO. I currently have UAC disabled to remove one point of failure. I've tried various compatibility modes (Windows 7, Windows XP SP 3). I have tried running it in Administrator mode several times (and that's how the default shortcut has been reconfigured). One suggestion I discarded was to remove the password from the Admin account on the machine. I suspect the Admin account is disabled, I've done nothing to nor with it on the machine. windows-8.1 dungeons-dragons-online share|improve this question edited Sep 13 '14 at 21:02 asked Sep 13 '14 at 15:19 Fred Morris Napier 11617 What exactly is DDO?

However, I've fiddled with it three times and done a total reinstall twice beyond that. –Fred Morris Napier Sep 13 '14 at 20:02 add a co
