![]() Right-click on each of those files in turn, choosing "Properties" > "Compatibility" ( tab).- They are most likely going to display without the ".exe" but they will be listed as "Applications" and will have the "One-Ring" or red DDO "shield" icons for invoker/launcher and the "client" files will have a gray "box" icon.In this folder look for these files "TurbineInvoker" "TurbineLauncher" "Lotroclient" or "Dndclient".Now double-click on "Turbine" > "The Lord of the Rings Online" or "Dungeons and Dragons Online".Then double-click on "Program Files" ( Note: if you see "Program Files (x86)" pick that one instead).Double-click on your "C:" drive (it might show as "Local Disk C:").Click on the Windows "Start" button and choose "Computer".To check for " Compatibility mode" or if one of the game's executable (exe) files is running as the permanent "Run as admin" option, use these steps: If you do not get the 201 error with UAC off, it is most likely because the game is not being launched correctly from TurbineInvoker or due to "Run as Admin"/"Compatibility Mode" being active. In some instances though, UAC can cause issues with elevation and permissions and Vista/Win7 users receiving the 201 error after patching or updating the game should try temporarily disabling UAC as a test: On Windows 7 and Vista the game file " TurbineInvoker" is designed to elevate and run the game with sufficient permissions on systems where UAC is in use. If either of these options are being performed on the game files (TurbineInvoker, TurbineLauncher or dndclient/lotroclient) disable them (see steps further down). Windows Vista/7 users should not need to run the game with " Run as Administrator" or any form of " Compatibility mode". If you no longer receive the 201 error, most likely permissions issues on your previous account were not allowing the game to access or modify its files. Once you have logged off of your current Windows username, log into the newly created one to test. ![]() After creating the new user account, click on the Windows "Start" button and choose the " Log off" option ( not "Switch User"). Perform the steps outlined in that article, but when you come to the steps asking to choose the " Account Type", please be sure to select the “ Administrator” setting. (Win7 Vista users should try these steps as a "just in case" test, but use the Win7/Vista steps here instead, and click the "My Computer is on a Workgroup" option). The game requires that the user logged into Windows has full administrator privileges to be able to write to the game data when the game needs to such as patching or installing/reinstalling. Windows XP users usually get this error if they are not using a profile with Administrator privileges, or one that has incorrect/misconfigured permissions (Malware is one corruption cause, often it "attacks" user permissions to make itself harder to remove from the system). The games need to be run on a non-corrupted full admin user account on the system in the case of Vista/Win7 it needs to be run under UAC ( User Account Control) on a "Normal User" via "TurbineInvoker" ( It can be run on an "Admin User" with UAC disabled but issues can arise since the game was written with UAC/Normal in mind). With the exception of the 'client_highres.dat' (and client_highres_aux_1.datx for LOTRO) if any of the other files are missing this can cause the 201 error.įile permissions or patching related issues: Note though that the first image is a DDO installation, and the second is LOTRO and both reflect the contents of a "High Resolution" installation which has some extra files, (mainly "client_hires.dat"). ![]() If you open the folder the game installed into (The DDO or LOTRO folder found in C:\Program Files\Turbine or C:\Program Files (x86)\Turbine) you should see roughly the same as these images below. This can have several causes, the first is if the files are missing.
