My group of friends just decided to play DDO.

I don't want to delete Vista, but I am getting the same problems described above... oh well...

EDIT

It works fine if you use SoftTH version 107b.

I have DDO and have tried every setting that I can think of...No dice. I am currently usint 1.07b but I am having the same problem as the first poster. I am using 64bit Win 7 but all my other games have been working fine. About to try compatability settings and see if the game is still launching in dx10 evan though there is a tabb to enable the affects. It might still launch in dx10 mode because of my os.

I bought and installed Windows 7 64bit and couldn't get it to work. Luckily disk space is cheap so I just created a new partition and run windows XP and DDO on that and reboot to Windows 7 to do anything else. As my HP printer isn't supported in Windows 7, I had to do it anyway.

Not the best solution but it works great. It would be nice if the video card manufacturers would get a clue and start supporting this themselves instead of us having to rely on some guy who does this part time when he isn't busy with other stuff.

It is working :)!!!

SoftTH 1.07

All I did was set SoftTH ingame 3940x1024 it might crash but when you restart the resolution will be written into the game config...So it will boot at your resolution and run after it makes it threw the loading screen.

Make sure you set the .exe path with -dx9 added into the end of the target so you don't launch in dx10. Right click go to properties look at target, it is in blue. Just push to the right on your arrow key and it will leave the old target. Then push space and add -dx9. Or you can try to set it ingame. But if you launch dx10 it will not work or crash. I think a lot of games still boot in dx10 in vista and win 7 even though it is changed to dx9 ingame. They just don't use the dx10 grafix extras.

The main thing I needed to figure out was the mouseXoffset= 1330 it is normally set to auto and in a lot of games if you right click you will spin uncontrollably. The fix is to test adding a higher or lower number to make it change the direction you spin or slow you down till it stops. Just fire up the game and test then try again till ya get it. :)



Here is my config.
