Firstly, the game works fine - I just have the following issues:

* Game wont save any keybindings or other account settings. They need to be reset every time I login.
* Many graphics options dependent on Direct X are greyed out. My card is a GTX970 so it should be fine running these.

Any ideas?

Turning off User Account Control, running as administrator seems to be the current advice given. Sorry, I don't and never will have Win 10. But it sounds like the game doesn't have permissions to write to save the .ini file with the keybindings or it doesn't have permission to run DirectX.

Well I checked and DDO seems to have full access. Running in Administrator enables saving keybindings but not the graphics options. They are still all greyed out :(

Got it sorted by deleting and redownloading the game.

Was gonna say, I didn't have any issues, but I redownloaded the entire game since it was a new machine build.

1. Turn off UAC.

2. You need to download and install the DirectX runtime from Microsoft, the legacy files which are needed for DDO to run in DX11 are not included in W10.

EDIT - Nice choice in video card btw :) I run in SLI with them they are superb cards for the money :)

I'm n the process of building a new comp - what PSU wattage do you use to power your SLI setup? My build is on hold after breaking my finger so I'm spending the time refining my component list!

Tom's hardware system builder marathons usually have good but cheap parts. But the website can be a little hard to follow: http://www.tomshardware.com/articles/?articleType=how-to&tag=system-builder

I use a Corsair RM800/850 (800/850 watt) which is overkill really but I do have 3 HDD's and numerous fans etc so I like to have the headroom, you could possibly get away with a 750 but I would recommend going 800 at least just to be safe.
