howdy!
i have a macbook pro running osx 10.5.8 and am trying to run DDO using the free trial of cxg.
i used a win 2000 bottle on pylotro 0.1.11 and have directx legacy and modern, the .net framework 1.1 and the visual c++ 2008 redistributable installed. i tried installing the 2005 resditr for vc++ as one of the threads mentioned but i got an error when trying to install it.
i installed the standard resolution ddo and that went fine. when i start pylotro, i got the launcher window and can put in my server and account info. i have a free account that works fine from my pc. however, when i choose to patch the game, i get a ms vc++ runtime error on rundll32.exe that says "r6025 pure virtual function call". i get that 2 or 3 times and then the patcher finishes without seeming to patch anything.
if i log in and launch the game, the screen goes black, then white and then nothing happens. i can click the white screen and move it around like a window, but there's just black underneath it. i never hear anything and the game never comes up. i can't seem to exit it either and have to hard turn off my mac.
anyone have any suggestions or help on getting this to run? i would appreciate any suggestions.
thanks!
