Dungeons & Dragons Online, just like most MMOs, has a number of bugs in the game at any one time. These are usually found while the server is live, but some are just deemed small or insignificant enough to be released and patched at a later date.

This article has an up-to-date list of the known issues in Dungeons & Dragons Online.
It’s worth having a quick read through just so you know what to expect!

Current Known Issues (10-20-2010)

Of Special Note

  • NEW - Some Intel users may find that when DirectX 10 is enabled, only their UI is visible and the rest of their screen is black. If this occurs, we recommend you disable DX10, enable DX9, and restart the game client.
  • NEW - Clients may experience a persistent ‘grinding’ noise. Switching from the DDO client to another application and back, or logging in and out, will correct the issue for a time.
  • NEW - You will not be able to trade motes to The Mote of Night Collector in the Endless Night live event for a Spectral Dragon Scale. The largest stack of motes that can be created is 9,999 motes, and the Dragonscale costs 10,000.
  • NEW – The Chronoscope Raid: If a player speaks with Veheer after the Abishai boss is killed, but before the ending drama sequence is completed, the quest will not be completable. Please wait for the entire sequence to complete before proceeding to Veheer.
  • NEW - Mabar Festival of Endless Night: Players may be booted from the Spectral Dragon encounter when they attempt to enter it, or shortly after entering it.
  • Named items from the Menechtarun that are “exclusive” should NOT be placed in the stone of change for the cleansing rituals, as it will destroy the item. Additionally, please note that the Great Axe of the Chained Soldier is an exclusive item, but this is not mentioned in the item description. Do not perform cleansing rituals on the Great Axe of the Chained Soldier.
  • If your quest fails to complete, logging out and back in can re-update your quest status to grant the completion. Make sure you have someone in the quest to keep the instance active for you while attempting this work-around. Solo players please note: logging out and back in may help, but only if your instance does not reset in the process. If the instance resets you will need to redo the quest.
  • Players have reported that they sometimes have trouble climbing up long ladders due to hitching or becoming caught in the middle of the ladder. Many of these “sticky” ladders have been fixed, but there may be other locations. If you come across a sticky ladder, please submit a bug report from the location of the ladder.

Guilds & Airships

  • The DDO Store version of the Small Guild Chest incorrectly only allows Officers or Leaders to access the chest.

  • Returning players who are not receiving their favor reward Turbine Points may be able to correct the issue by logging out and back into the game to receive residual Points. Refreshing the Store using the home (the house icon) button may also correct the issue.

WORKING AS INTENDED Honest :)

Of Special Note

  • After playing for extended amounts of time in the game, your DDO Store session may time out when you attempt to open the Store. To correct this, press the home button (the house shaped icon in the upper left of the Store window) to reload the Store.
  • The DDO Unlimited key mapping will over-ride existing Stormreach key maps. Make a copy of your ‘ddo.keymap’ file before using DDO Unlimited to retain your old settings.
  • If you are downgrading from a VIP account, any characters of a premium race and/or class that you have not purchased with Turbine Points or unlocked with favor must be purchased/unlocked before you will be able to access the character as a free or premium player. Example: If you downgrade and select a warforged monk, you will need to purchase monk and warforged before you’ll be able to play the character.
  • Remember that if you take Jeets offer to skip the tutorial you will be advanced ahead in the storyline of Korthos. In order to group with friends who have not yet unlocked the ability to skip the tutorial, decline Jeets offer to skip ahead and complete the grotto tutorial instance. This will allow you to enter the snowy version of Korthos village to group with other players in that part of the story!

DDO Store

  • Once Favored Soul or Drow is unlocked with favor points, it is still accessible in the DDO Store. This is by design, as purchase in the store will grant Favored Soul or Drow access to your account for all servers, while favor unlocking is per-server only.
  • Viewing the Store before you login a character will only display account level character purchase items. To see a full list of items available to your character, log in the character.
  • The DDO Store’s automatic filtering does not recognize feats or enhancements that allow you to overcome prerequisites for some items. This can result in the Store blocking some items from appearing in your catalog because the store doesn’t think you are able to use the items. To see and be able to purchase these items, turn off filtering.

In Game Vendors

  • When selling to pawnbrokers, remember that unlike Tavern-keepers and general vendors, other players can purchase an item you’ve sold to the NPC. Additionally, it is intended that items sold to pawnbrokers will not appear in your buyback list. Instead the item will appear for purchase in the sell tab of the pawnbroker’s list.
  • Tad Hardcastle spent so much on his new acrobats outfit that he has tried to cut some corners on his donation gifts. The Greater Tumble spell he casts will only allow players to tumble if they have more than 0 ranks in tumble.

Hirelings

  • Hirelings will path to monsters across water if they think they can jump across. They aren’t very good swimmers though, and if they don’t make the jump, you will have to recall them to you.

Skills, Feats, & Abilities

  • The minimum ranks in the Perform skill required to use Bard songs are based on the ‘ranks’ taken, not the modified skill total. This is by design.

Quests

  • NEW - Dimplomatic Impunity
    • Root walls cannot be broken with bows.

Other

  • When the mouse cursor is over a number of UI elements, including hot bars, the keyboard will not respond to commands.
