Client Confusion - Help!

[Raven Devore]

I used to have my own server. In the past, it wasn't this difficult. Mondain's Legacy Client isn't working anymore, and the newer ones aren't working with runuo either. I can't even tell what version im patching to on the newer client can anyone please point me in the right direction here? I don't even know where to begin to make a uo server anymore.

In the link below, a member had written a more current guide to getting a server going. There is some information there that explains briefly about the reasons there are complications these days, with finding the correct client and server combination. There is some clutter discussion too, so just ignore the other pollution.

There are a few other threads lingering around too that discuss these issues, and some other references to where to get other Client versions.

The reason you can not patch your game client as you remember, is because the EA games people have replaced that patch system with another one, and no longer patches your client from version to version, instead it will simply patch directly up to the current version. So you can not patch up to a specific client number any longer.. There are many places out there to find and download a specific client version number though, and is the only way to get them now.

Hope that helps, and just continue posting here if you have further issues.

Thanks! this is very helpful. Although he doesn't say what to do with the client though.. do I just install and not patch?

I believe if you are refering to the downloaded client 7.0.15 or whatever he listed, it is a pre installed package.

You would want to install Ultima Online normally once, so you get the installation to be entered in your windows registry and such, then replace your game folder with the 7.0.15 package you downloaded. Then you can go ahead and run Razor, and log into your server.
