My daughter has an iMac PowerPC machine. But recently she's been showing a lot of interest in playing DDO, after watching me all the time on it. A friend of mine suggested that it might run ok on a dual boot Intel iMac running Windows XP, so before I lay down the cash on this I'd like to know if anyone has run it before on this?
All feedback is greatly appreciated.

Don't know about an imac, but I run mine through bootcamp on a macbook pro. Works great.

Help!
How were you able to get it to run on your Mac? I get the below error:
Game Error [127] The game encountered a fatal Windows API issue while attempting to start.
Try rebooting your machine and starting the game again. [127]

Nope, nothing special. Just had to get a copy of XP, and run bootcamp, and follow the instructions. Just installed DDO on the windows side, no problems. Originally Posted by VladTheImpaled

Thanks for the quick response! Yep, I tried a reinstall, tried using the download instead of my disks, and also tried using that edit of the .ini file. Still no luck!

I used bootcamp to dual-boot a MacPro with Vista x64 and run DDO there no problems. Bootcamp is very intuitive and pretty easy to run. Windows does not work if you're using a Mac RAID setup...it needs to be on a single drive for Windows to function correctly.

I'm using a single drive, just partitioned, no RAID. One new thing I did notice, I just did a reinstall from the downloaded files for Stormreach, and it did not created a folder in My Documents with default settings... was this file moved somewhere else? I had deleted the file and folder before the install, because I noticed that it left the files there from my previous (disk) install. Or is there a rebuild option? I tried doing a repair and reset from the launcher options menu, but neither created the folder or file.
