Okay, since I had to format my computer and reinstall everything my ingame macros have not been saving.

Like, I open the macro thing and I have no macros saved, even the ones it comes with, "Open Status" and such.

I can't enter a keybind into the little box where I'm supposed to. Like, I put the type curser in there and type and nothing appears. HOWEVER, if I select a macro to associate with the key I "typed" and Apply, the macro works!

Until it deletes itself, that is.

I've tried deleting the character folder in My Documents and EA told me this is typically caused by having characters with the same name, which I do not have. ALL of my characters have become this way and it's getting very annoying. I even tried not only reinstalling, but downloading a new client!

I'm TOTALLY out of ideas! Help!

Delete the default macros.txt or whatever it is in the UO directory, and then delete all the macros.txt files in your desktop/acct/server/charname directories.

check other sources for macros.txt, such as my documents/my games/EA/etc

I deleted macros.txt and macros2d.txt from Program Files/EA Games/Something Else/Ultima Online.

Also deleted all the character folders from My Documents/EA Games/Something Else/Ultima Online/Atlantic/So On and all the macro.txt files within.

Still nothing.

Have you tried seeing whether or not it actually recognizes the macro, even though you can't see what you input? In other words, try setting a macro and hit OK even though nothing appears. Then see if it works.

You didn't fully read the post did you. Razz

Yeah, I can and it works, but at some point (I'm sure there is a causing trigger, but I'm not smart enough to make the connection) it deletes itself.

Mos Def when I restart, but I think it also does other times too. Not sure.
