So I kinda want to come back to UO just so I can see how everyone is doing and stuff. You know the gig.

Only problem is that I don't know how in the hell I'm supposed to get UO for this laptop. Its not like I can FIND a copy of the game anymore, which leaves me to one option.

Can I download Ultima Online?

And if so, where can I do this? I'd like to bring Dan back to the community for an undetermined amount of time, if that is fine with you all. Kinda want to start where I left off with him and whatnot.

Anyone have a solution? Wink

Wow, what a great thing to hear. I know a confused tamer who'd be glad to run into her friend.

Welcome back!

So I upgraded my account to this "Stygian Abyss" expansion. Does that mean it'll let me download the client, as well as the whole game now? If not, where do I go to get it?

Follow Tay's link. Every UO client is automatically patched up to the same state. It is the account that determines what can be used, not what you installed.

So I went to that website that had Ultima Online as a trial, and I reactivated my account. Took me about 6 hours to d/l it all with this rubbish connection I have up here, but it is DONE! My only problem now is that whenever I try to start it up, I guess there was an ERROR in the patching so it lets me start the client, but whenever I try to log in I always get a "Could not contact Origin. Please restart Ultima Online or try again later". I know it can't be down, so I can either delete the patch that I got and try again, try to reinstall UO, or just pray and keep relogging.

Anyone have a solution? Supposedly I have "Patch 9" and that is all it says. Am I way far behind patch-wise? What should I do?

IF you are using Windows 7 you have to run it as administrator and run all patches that way too . Had to learn the hard way on that. Hope it helps.

Alright, alright, hold up. Found something on EA that may very well be my problem:

"There may have been an isse while the patch was downloading that caused a file to remain in the patch folder. This will cause the patch to fail. To resolve this, locate the Patch folder within the Ultima Online directory on the hard drive and delete any files contained in the folder. Once this is completed, launch the game from the Windows Start menu. This will re-start the patching process."

My only problem is that I am in my Program Files now, and I looked the Ultima Online folder. There isn't a single PATCH folder to be found though, so where do I go from here? Does anyone know where it may be? Have they ever had to deal with this folder before? Pweeze helpz teh Danz. Confused

I have done everything they suggest with the exception of uninstalling the client. From what I have been hearing and reading, even that isn't the way to fix it.

Still I am unable to patch properly. I am not about to uninstall and lose all my settings only to find it's not going to work.

This is an issue they're going to have to fix on their end, I'm really starting to believe that. I also think it's seriously lame of their support page to suggest that it's everybody's hard drive and bad sectors.

Funny how all of a sudden people are having all these problems with the game and we're supposed to think we've got bad sectors. Blah!

Well, I can't get UO to patch. So there is no use payin' for an account if I can't get on UO.

False alarm! Sorry guys. Confused
