I went ugly on this: BootCamp + licensed Windows 10.

Here's my step by step and the game works perfectly on a 16" MacBook Pro (2019) with Catalina:

Install BootCamp and reboot when directed
Install fresh Windows 10 through BootCamp interface
Boot into Windows 10. (I purchased a license from Microsoft)
Download DDO and play it daily. No issues to speak of other than headset microphone works via USB but not headphone jack. Probably a driver issue, but I haven't spent time looking.


That's it - this is a Windows game and I surrender to that fact.

Playing this way from day one, but, honestly, having to reboot each time is annoying. And, if you have to pay windows for this, then better to pay Codeweavers, less expensive and invasive. Best would be not paying at all for a game which you already pay.
