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. The " 201" error indicates that the game cannot gain access to or find its "dat" or data files.
