I get a window with the message :

Connection failed
You do not have the current version of the client installed.

I was getting this directly after updating Client to 51.2.

Had the same issue, i swapped between 32 and 64 bit client and I can log in. Not sure if it will work for you but worth a try. I also done a repair (downloaded the whole thing again) prior this but that maybe wont be neccessary.

UPDATE…

I tried with two different computers.
One older OS and one with Windows 10.

BOTH get the “Game Error” window popup : (

I'm getting the same error message and can't get into the game after logging in.

Splash screen loads, then when it switches to the screen with the loading bar, the error message appears and the client closes.

This is happening on a Windows 10 machine, too? I'm going to test on a Windows 10 machine later tonight.

Are most people experiencing this issue on Windows Vista? They may have forgotten to update the credentials on the Legacy Client.

Just got home fired the game up and after the patch I am having the same issue. I have been playing the game on this PC for a couple years with no problems.

EDIT: I tried the repair but have the same problem.

[Dulcimerist]

Are most people with this issue using a Windows Vista or XP system? I'm wondering if the patch caused an issue with the Legacy Client.


I borrowed a family member's Windows 10 laptop that had an old installation of DDO that hadn't been updated in about a year. After launching DDO on the Windows 10 machine and waiting for it to download and install all of the patches to bring it up to date, I was able to successfully enter the game worlds. Unfortunately, this machine's hardware is really bad at running DDO.


Hoping this issue can be resolved by the devs so I can play DDO on my Vista machine again. It's the only computer I've got for playing DDO, and I'm essentially locked out of the game now.

I finally got mine to work. I played with the options which appears on the same screen where you enter username/password. I went to 64-bit, which I don't have so it failed. Then went back to 32 bit and it worked. Very odd.


P.S. I am using Ubunbtu/Wine. No windbloze here.
