Support Ending for Windows XP

Larger videogame companies have forced their customers to upgrade to 64 bit compliant OS. Even though there were no changes to the games that would prevent them from running on the old OS. Just an OS lockout.

I dont think many will complain about lost access through XP or Vi. 7 was cut loose recently as well. SSG has been very accommodating OS wise.

Running this game through Wine is a very easy process if that is where it leaves anybody after this change. A lot easier than learning DDO

Necrobumping this to say that the impact of this landed with the Hardcore season 5 patch and the only indication that something happened is that I now get "you are not running the current version of the client" when I try to connect while the "Legacy" client is selected. I only figured this out after a clean reinstall and noticing the dndclient_awesomium.exe mentioned in the launcher config no longer exists. It might have been better to also remove the UI option at the same time to help reduce confusion.

I'm on Linux and the net effect of this is that I can no longer work around the in-game store being broken. I can still do everything else with the regular 32bit client. So long Vista support, you will be missed.

Anyway, I am only posting this to save anyone else in the same situation some time troubleshooting.

I Installed the DDO client on a 64 bit prefix and am able use Win 6, 7, 8, 8.1, and 10 to open and use the store in game on all clients.
