Might have to rethink my gold rating.

Just wiped and recreated my LOTRO bottle. CXG 9.1, using the C4P here.

Using the pre-F2P Mirkwood (US/NA) files, CXG installed PyLOTRO 0.1.13 and I fully patched the game files.

Whenever I try to launch LOTRO, the screen goes black (as if it were starting up) then promptly brings me back to the PyLOTRO window.

Fixed it.

Inspired by a similarly-behaving issue with FFXIV, I reinstalled (updated?) DirectX Moderm into the bottle. That's all it took.

p.s Unrelated, I find it a bit amusing that after having paid for a "lifetime" membership, it went free to play. :D

On the plus side, you have VIP status and 500 TP a month :)

LOL That is true. :)

That reminds mine... How many TP are the Moria and SOM expansions? (They're not showing in my turbine store)

1995 points for SOM (I bought it with points) I think the same for Moria but not 100% sure.

I reinstalled Direct X Modern and it will actually load, but now it gets to the point where it is about to show me the screen with all the characters and stops saying, "error: cannot patch". I patched the game again, but it didn't help. Any suggestions?

same problem I just posted. this has come up since the original F2P patch, as I was playing on Sept 8th and 9th

The error message implies that you still need to do a valid patching.
