Launcher

Launcher is a part of the game responsible for starting up the game. The launcher file is called DNDLauncher.exe, and it is located in your DDO folder. This is the file where you shortcut for launching the game should point to.

There are a couple command line options that modify the behavior of the launcher.
 * -nosplash
 * -skiprawdownload (skips downloading of 30 loading screens)
 * -disablepatch
 * -username myusername
 * -password mypassword (note: this works, but is unsafe since the password is not encrypted)

For example, your shortcut might point to:
