I did just that, and it seems that everything is back to normal again, as I could successfully open and modify some old files. The Support Team of LDD suggested that I should instead use the NVIDIA GeForce 840M also equipped on my Laptop to run LDD as a possible solution. However, my Laptop did not meet that requirment, as my Intel HD Graphics 4400 only has 32 MB of Dedicated Video Memory. LDD has the following requirments: Graphics card: 128 MB graphics card (OpenGL 1.1 or higher compatible). Although I managed to complete it, I decided to contact LEGO to see if they could help me come up with a long-term solution. LDD would sometimes crash or auto-terminate unexpectedly under a number of situations, meaning that I would suddenly loose everything unsaved! At that time, I was building something important and the issues made me very frustrated. After a few weeks, problems started to appear. I recently bought a Laptop running Windows 8.1 and again installed LDD to continue building my projets. In the past, it was installed on my Desktop Computer running Windows Vista, and nothing went wrong. I've been using LDD for quite a long time. Now the installer should skip the step where it attempts to install Flash Player.This is my first post here so I'm hoping that everything is right. Proceed with the LDD installation by clicking "YES". Rename OpenGLChecker.exe install_flash_player_active_x.exe Rename the file OpenGLChecker.exe to install_flash_player_active_x.exe: Rename install_flash_player_active_x.exe alt.exe You should see the file named install_flash_player_active_x.exe. Navigate to the temporary installation folder by typing this into the command line: So at the installation step when you get the prompt to Install Flash Player, DON'T click "YES" just yet. I've replicated their instructions and I've managed to get 4.3.11 working with all the newly incorporated parts, with a few cmd.exe commands that only took two minutes.īasically the installation process pauses when you are asked to install Flash Player (no longer available for download as of - its EOL).īut technically, LDD doesn't even need it, as it can run fine with OpenGL. You still can get LDD 4.3.11 which has a problem with Adobe Flash Player during the installation procedure. However, seeing as how Lego shut down the DesignByMe service you are not missing much (if anything) by running LDD in offline mode. Apart from spoofing the replies LDD is looking for there is no way to run LDD in online mode any longer. Now because it can not reach its home server LDD generates this "Internet access failed" message and will only run in offline mode. LDD "phoned home" every time it was started. ![]() The "Internet access failed" message is because LDD can no longer reach a Lego server ( 62.199.219.133). LDD is now past its end of life, and Lego apparently does not care any longer about collecting usage data on LDD. ![]() LDD will still function normally, albeit in "offline mode." There is nothing wrong with your computer, or your internet connection (and it is not just you). We urge you to update, use the download link, and install free application for Windows PC & Mac OSX. You can still use “offline” mode if you wish. If you still use version 4.3.10 you will experience errors when launching the application. We don’t support LDD version 4.3.10 anymore.
