, all the launcher tells me is it failed to download DirectX 9, which makes zilch sense.

Did you read what the client states beside your message?
The bit that explains the zero sense?

Patching Information02-Nov-2010Please note that the patching servers are very busy at the moment and therefore you may experience some errors, for example a hash code error presented during patching or failures during the DirectX updating.

Please be patient and restart the client regularly if you encounter any patching issues. Thank you.

SErvers getting hammered, launch is a mess, keep trying.

After 15 minutes I got that message, with a web address to go fetch DirectX 9 from August 2009. I have February 2010 version installed.

She would probably copy the jack nicholson character from her favourite movie The Shining and axe the door while shouting HEEERE'S MEGAN :eek:

Have you tried logging in on the cogaccounts website to see if it says anything on your account there? It should say something under the status column (VIP in my case, but I imagine it would say either Premium or F2P depending on which you are)

Is it showing your account as Premium?

Not from what I can see. The only options I have are to add games or add trials and neither seem to lead me anywhere.

So its not showing your LOTRO account at all under the Your Games section?

Is it a new free account or did you have a LOTRO account before?

Vuvuzela · 2 Nov 2010 at 19:44

Ok I'm in, working fine, I only have 30 points though??? I have VIP account. I thought you get 500 points a month plus I took part in the trial? :confused:

Is it a new cogaccount? or a new LOTRO account? Have you made a LOTRO account here > https://www.lotro-europe.com/Home/Index/en

(my apologies if these are stupid questions, no offense intended if they seem obvious)

Reed · 2 Nov 2010 at 19:47
