Some have said that this game works under XCGs 8.14, the question I have then is how do I install this app on the same machine and they don't interfere with each other?
I tried putting it in another directory but.... it still linked itself to the 9.0 game files, causing the ones that worked under it not to work anymore.
Okay... I was able to get DDO to work with XCG 8.14 on the same machine as XCG 9.0.... DDO works under 8.14 with minor problems like occasionally dropping to the desktop, much like LotRO screen going black, and the need to force quit it (LotRO) a real pain in the tuchas that is....
How were you able to do this?
Conceptually its pretty simple....
Change the name of CXG 8.14 from CrossOverGames.app to CrossOverGames814.app via the finder.
Install CrossOverGames 9.1
Then create the appropriatly named bottles (DDO814 and DDO91) from each application and install the game.
You WILL have to be careful not to launch the wrong CXG, and pick the wrong bottle. But after/other than that, it should be fine.
Note that you will wind up doing two complete installs of DDO, one in each bottle. (Oh yeah, and separate installs of PyLotRO in each bottle.) But, as long as you keep the naming convention separate and consistant, you should have no problems.
I use this technique with beta versions of both DDO and CXG clients.
... been working on LOTRO issues lately and haven't been doing DDO testing in the last couple of weeks. When last I tried, there WERE issues with the DDO5 update.
