After installing the game last night, the Launcher screen came up, had me agree to a License/User Agreement, ran some updates, and then presented me with a list of Worlds (servers?) that I can play in. All of the worlds had a green check mark. After trying all of them multiple times (unsuccessfully), I went to the Support Forum to see what the problem may be. I couldn't find any information on outtages, so I ruled that out. I followed suggestions for creating Firewall exceptions, but that didn't work. I even tried turning my firewall off & that didn't work either.

One suggestion that I read instructed me to open the Task Manager and hit the "End Process" button for the TurbineLauncher.exe. When I did this, the screen with the list of worlds disappeared (If that screen isn't the Turbine Launcher itself, it must somehow be tied to it). I launch the game by double-clicking on the DDO Unlimited icon/shortcut that's saved on my desktop, and the screen that runs the updates & allows me to choose from the worlds comes up after a screen w/ a Monk. Am I doing something wrong when launching the game? Is something not loading that should load?

Does anyone have other suggestions for me? I'm using a Linksys Wireless G wireless router & my computer specs meet all of the minimum requirements for playing the game.

I'd really like to play DDO, but can't without some help on this problem. Has anyone had this same problem? Do you need more information from me in order to help diagnose the issue?

Please help!
