NVIDIA 64-bit Client Issue

[Stoner81]

I finally managed to kick the x64 client in to life by switching back to DX9. My screen still turns a funky colour and I have to reboot to fix it but it will let me log in and get in game. The options for DX in game are greyed out even though I have the legacy files installed since I play in DX11 all the time in the x86 client. I will stick with the x86 client for now since I am starting to think it could be that there is something a little wonky on my machine somewhere (it's been a while since I wiped it). Once I get my new rig around May time I'll try again then.

Adding old DirectX drivers...

I finally fixed the 64 bit client issue by downloading and running the Microsoft DirectX package found here... https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/down...ils.aspx?id=35. My newer Win10 Pro only had DirectX 12 installed and I guess that was OK for the 32 bit but bombed the new 64 bit client. Anyway once I installed the legacy 9/10/11 package everything worked. Hope this helps someone.

Updating Direct X worked for me ty!

Although I first tried a bunch of other things like firewall settings, Nvidia control panel settings, updating graphics driver... none of that worked but now the 64 bit client is working for me after updating Direct X.

no issues here so far, running just fine

Fixed it just by letting windows update.

So far no issues.

Thanks TorkRaider. This was essential to fix my issue. The Nvidia control panel wouldn't let me select a card, since there was only one card available. But the Direct X drivers did the trick.

As I always say : Microsoft never ships DirecX 9, which means that Microsoft is silently putting the blame on developers ...

1. Open Windows Search, Type: "Nvidia Control Panel", and run the result.
2. Click "Manage 3D settings"
3. Click the "Program Settings" tab
4. Click the "Add" button
5. In the add list, find dndclient64.exe (must have already tried to run 64bit DDO for it to appear)
6. Select dndclient64.exe and click "Add Selected Program"
7. Click the dropdown box under the new selection, and choose "High-performance NVIDIA processor"

Keep in mind that if a patch updates x64/dndclient64.exe and the game stop launching, then you have to repeat these steps to make it work again.
