ok, lets see.
I went to the DDO forums and looked at the Error 201 Threads, just making a check-list to make sure I’m not missing something while trying to help you :
– Checked disk for hardware problem ( chkdsk ) : Done
– reinstalled game from local files : Done
– reinstalled game from downloaded files : Done ( did you clear the browser cache before that ? )
– copied missing dat files from another game installation : Done
– using turbine launcher instead of ddo launcher ( honestly I don’t think it has any impact ) : Done
the next step would be to look at your dndclient.log ( in <Drive>/Program Files <(x86)>/Turbine/Eberron Unlimited )
and your launcher<timestamp>.log file ( in <Drive>/<User Home>/Dungeons and Dragons Online/Launcher )
And see what’s in them…
According to what I read you are missing a dat file. the dndclient.log file will tell you which one you are supposed to be missing. When I write missing, i mean that the file is either really missing or is here but won’t load.
If the file is really missing you will have to find a copy of that file and put it in the directory.
If the file is here you will have to move it somewhere else along with the patchcache.bin file.
The Turbine techsupport page is not really helpful : http://support.turbine.com/link/portal/24001/24001/Article/283/-Game-error-201-Can-t-open-the-data-files-Check-that-they-exist-and-that-you-have-permission-to-write-to-them-The-program-will-now-exit-201
