DDO issues

I've run into two odd things running the latest version of Ubuntu (checking the version just tells me this is the "Natty" variant). The first came up when I tried to use the built in voice chat. Everyone else got a lot of static, and I couldn't hear a thing. Struck me as wierd, but i could still just use the text chat. The second oddity came today. I tried to login as usual, through PyLOTRO. It started ok, then halfway through the game loading screen it spat out a "You don't have the latest version of the client installed" and closed. So, I tried patching it. It flickered for a bit, then said **Finished**. So I tried running the game again, and got the same error. So, I did a complete uninstall and reinstall of everything. PyLOTRO, DDO, all the connected files. Tried again. Same error. I'm stumped, so I'm posting this here and on the official game forums. I can only hope someone finds a way around this, because I ran out of ideas. I've tried everything I could find here, on the game forums, and via Google.

DDO is one of the few games that will give an error for no GSM support being compiled in, though it isn't strictly required. But I found that voice chat does work better with it compiled in.

What version of wine are you using? The distributions usually don't have the latest versions installed.

Have you followed the appdb or the thread here: http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?t=212618 ?

Good luck.

Tried there first. It's the latest version of wine. Tried everything I could find anywhere. Still getting the same issues. Might have to uninstall wine, re-install, and then re-install everything else.

It's been a while, and I still can't find any reason it's giving me problems. It seems from the forums the only way to update it now is with a windows box. So I guess I'm not playing that any more. Well that was a waste of time.

Did you try updating the patchclient.dll? Or perhaps you've specified a different patchclient.dll in Pylotro that isn't working correctly for you anymore?

What version of PyLotro are you using? There was recently and update from 1.14 to 1.15

Any time PyLotRO simply displays "*** Finished ***" and nothing else, the patch process has not completed successfully.

Because, it sounds like a pylotro configuration issue. ajackson, the writer of pylotro is pretty active with crossover games and on the ubuntu forums. Try posting to the thread there and see if you can get some help.
