ok since the ddo team is utterly incompetent to answer this simple question, here is the fix which i followed to fix my problem.
1) Download ddo using steam as the one on this official site is broken
2) When you try to launch the game you will get a ms net frame work error
3) To fix this error follow the steps here http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/w...3-17660e25e43d
4) If your stuck at stage 6, having an error like - 'dotnetfx.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file, then just make sure your typing this exactly- C:\DotNet\dotnetfx.exe /c:"msiexec.exe /a netfx.msi TARGETDIR=C:\DotNet"
5) carry on the remaining steps and ur back on the game
6) Welcome back
