Yep, getting it too

Watch your drive activity LED. If it's flashing it is working.

Getting errors in error checking and stuck in updating mode. Is anyone else getting this?

Any idea when the launcher will actually start patching then? It's been stuck on "error checking" for the past 13 minutes.

Yep. Not moving past errors checking splash and teleport screens.

yep, same

Yep You just have to wait. It will finally start updating after error checking for a few minutes.

Yep, getting it too

I am getting it also.
It will be fixed soon... I hope.

So basically just an Anti-English version of GMT then!

Oookay, speaking as a Brit like you Fran... really no it isn't an anti English thing.

Please tell me you were trolling. And keep the politics off the thread for heaven's sake. (he said, hastily editing his definitely-over-the-line response)

Yep, same here.

UPDATE: Works fine now. It took about ten minutes.

So, I updated and logged in fine, but...I did get a medium ingredients bag, but nothing has changed with mounts.
My mount bag is still in my inventory and I have no mount stable on my inventory tab.

Is this happening to anyone else, is there a workaround, or what are the plans to fix it?

It loaded fine the first time for me. Logged into Orien to check LFMs (cause some raids were sceduled), then I quit the game (because no raid I was interested in) and turned it on again because I wanted to log into another server. This time however the launcher downloads dndclient.exe (again), proceeds normaly to the "patching screen" (before the actual log in tab appears) where it suddenly stops and a message box appears: Could not patch file 'dndclient.exe', error 5: Access denied.

After i click ok on the box, ddo launcher starts up again, downloads dndclient.exe (again!), goes to patch screen and boom! the same error message again.

So what's going on?
I tried putting all the exe stuff in ddo folder into "run as administrator", doesn't work.

I start ddo through steam btw.

UPDATE: tried repairing game files using ddo launcher, didn't help.

double click on a mount and see magic happens. It's the same as cosmetic pets

Thanks! That was the issue. Now to go through my characters and mounts to add the ones I have.

Checking in advance: So if you have a collected mount in your stable that is NOT upgraded with a horseshoe for fast movement, will the game upgrade it or will it not work since the game could be looking for a mount certificate to upgrade?

The upgrade vendor doesn't care what is in your stable only in your inventory space; so if you have a slow horse in the stable, it is forever the slow version there. To get a fast horse of the same type, you'd have buy a new slow mount & upgrade it from inventory not in your stable (upside, just like pets you can't add a mount type more than once so no risk of having 2x of the same slow mount in the stable).

And given that UTC doesn't change for Daylight Savings or British Summer Time we'd still have the exact same problem as with the use of GMT!

The current issue is that when Britain changes its clocks, people get confused because they think it means that GMT has changed when it hasn't. UTC, as you pointed out, never changes so people are unlikely to make the same mistake with it.

You'd still have to adjust for Daylight Savings/British Summer Time when using UTC

If you live in Britain, yes. But other people wouldn't and that's the point. As the times are posted relative to GMT, people think it's relative to whatever the current time is in Britain even when we're on BST. Yes, this is wrong, but people still do it. UTC isn't tied to a particular country though, so people wouldn't make the same mistake because there is no country for them to get the wrong time from.

Anyway, this has all gone rather off-topic, so I'll stop there.

If this is true, it should be communicated to players or changed. I don’t like grind or farming, so I only have two of the collected mounts (can’t even remember which of my 60 characters the first one is on) and have never found a horseshoe to upgrade them with. I still want to use them for variety, even if they are slow, AND would like to be able to upgrade them if I get a horseshoe.

Overall I do like the stable.

you can also have a slow mount and a fast mount of the same type
