LOTRO Crashing/Not loading with IS

Diagnostic Report: Paste ID 13ecb2bb28
IS Toolkit Profile: Paste ID c0e223f608

Followed quick start guide to setup IS for LOTRO [DX9 and windowed mode for game client, set port to false in ini] as per this guide:http://isboxer.com/index.php/component/content/article/14-lotro/78-lotro-howto-get-lotro-working-for-isboxer

IS will *sometimes* launch 2 clients, out of 6. First client I can log and get to char select screen. Second client fails after log with "Game Client Not Found" popup citing lotroclient.exe not found. It then repeats this msg if I click the popup button. And all game clients crash shortly thereafter. One more thing I noticed when IS attempts to load a second client. I have to Alt-Tab to the second login window. It is not brought to the foreground when launched, as it is in my EVE setup.

Repeated attempts will *sometimes* launch 1 game client with the same client not found popup or IS will appear to do nothing when I double-click the launch desktop shotcut.

I'm not new to IS, as a look at my toolkit will show. been 7-manning EVE for a while now. Very new to LOTRO tho. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: LOTRO Crashing/Not loading with IS

Lax suggested in chat that my problem could be with the version of the client I was using. There are currently 3 versions that I know of. The version I had installed was the streaming download, obtained via a link after you register your account from this page:
http://signup.lotro.com/lotro.php?ftui=LOTROWeathertopHC&cl=75&hf=0&abrs=706_1354247186

This install will allow you to play LOTRO after a minimum amount of content is downloaded, but before the entire game is downloaded. I cannot confirm/deny that this is what caused my launch problem as I'm still reinstalling.

The other 2 client versions are located here:
http://www.lotro.com/support/download-lotro

These 2 versions are non-streaming, one standard and one HD. Currently installing HD.

Re: LOTRO Crashing/Not loading with IS

Streaming client was indeed the cause of my launch problem. Thanks again lax and might I suggest a footnote in the LOTRO getting started guide referencing streaming client download incompatibility with IS
