Downloading DDO:EU broke LOTRO

[sirfink]

I had been playing the 10-day free trial of LOTRO and enjoying it enough to probably buy. So DDO:EU launches and I use TDM to begin downloading that. Now LOTRO appears to be broken. According to the TDM, LOTRO is "preparing to download" and is sitting at 0KB. Meanwhile, I was just playing it last night! The LOTRO folder is 12GB in size. The game files are in there. When I try to launch LOTRO the TDM just pops up showing me the "preparing to download LOTRO" thing.

This is a display bug with TDM. Your installation of LOTRO is still there, and you may access it via the TDM control panel icon, or via the desktop shortcut icon for LOTRO while DDO is downloading. When you have both DDOU and LOTRO downloaded, each should have a play button within TDM. In the case where you know your game payloads have been patched, but you do not have the play buttons you have two options: Close and restart TDM to get past the display bug (may be required more than once) or use the shortcut icons for each game that should already exist on your desktop.

We are working on a fix and will have it out as soon as possible, until then, the work-arounds should get you into game.
