How do I get DDO to run under windows 8.1?
How do I get Dungeons and Dragons Online to run under windows 8.1?
After downloading the full installer and doing a full install and updating successfully, I keep getting a pair of Game Error [201] each time I try to connect to a game server. This is a new Acer 8.1 system from Walmart, nothing user installed other than DDO. I currently have UAC disabled to remove one point of failure.
I've tried various compatibility modes (Windows 7, Windows XP SP 3).
I have tried running it in Administrator mode several times (and that's how the default shortcut has been reconfigured). One suggestion I discarded was to remove the password from the Admin account on the machine. I suspect the Admin account is disabled, I've done nothing to nor with it on the machine.

Error 201 means that the game cannot access the game's files. It can occur when the permissions are set to administrator only or if a previous patch failed.
Best is to reinstall the game fresh from the interwebs. I would also advise to install it into userspace instead of global space, which can also be done by simply installing it to a different partition rather than the usual C:\Program Files.
