I just down loaded the new patch and now i get this

"Failed to open 'map0LegacyMUL.uop' from HD using a maximum install. Either this file is not readable, your system needs to be rebooted, or the firel does not exist and you either need to reinstall or switch to a non-maximum install."

I can log on to 3d with out a problem but 2d I can't!

Now I was just on Uo and it was fine. I already rebooted! still not working. Can anyone help?? Thank you all for your help.

I think the new file should be map0xLegacyMUL.uop and map0LegacyMUL.uop thats what mine is and it works although a little slow to load

Did this issue happen after a fresh install? Also what region are you downloading from?

I can log in in 2D using a backup copy and bypassing patch. I cannot find this missing/corrupt file in the UO directories of the main copy on my C drive or the backup copy. This problem has arisen immediately after downloading the most recent patch. If it makes and difference, I am on Europa and living in London.

Can we have a fix please asap?

Did you attempt to download the patch through assist or another such program? There are notes that this has been causing issues, and the new patch will go to a DOS looking window and then eventually even in classic to an enhanced client log in look but don't panic.

This was sent by a friend and worked fine
The big patch issues are with the people who paniced and canceled out, OR who opened through UO assist.

Open UO BY ITSELF, without Assist, to do the patch.

Don't get nervous by the little DOS Window, or the fact that it says there's errors in that window.

ignore it, walk away from the comp., until you get a new-looking patch screen, and it says you're all patched.

Then log in, look at it, then close it.

Then when it's time to really play, use this work around:

This issue occurs when you have an existing UO.exe or UO.bin open when trying to launch UO.exe.
Please check your task manager, close those tasks, and try again.

I have the same issue after the last patch. Classic Client. Windows XP. UO would not start with the desktop icon. It just sat there. So I stopped it through task manager and came to Stratics on March 22nd and saw the issue was starting through UOA.
Soooooo..I deleted and uninstalled everything including UOA. I did not reinstall UOA. I installed my most recent disc and patched from there. Still when I click the desktop icon, it stalls. Nothing happens. Just to be on the safe side, i left it alone after double clicking the icon for 8 hours, waiting for the program to start. Nothing. I stopped the process tree in Task Manager. I deleted the new desktop icon...again... I went through the program files and tried to start client.exe from the folder. I get the following error. Again:

"fatal:

Failed to open 'map0LegacyMUL.uop' from HD using a maximum install. Either this file is not readable, your system needs to be rebooted, or the file does not exist and you either need to reinstall or switch to a non-maximum install."

Well...I did reboot. Same thing. I am on dial-up and 28.8kbps is the top speed. That's the only option here, so don't waste time discussing that. Yes, the game has always been playable at that speed. But it does make reinstalling a week and a half long process.

So now what? Any ideas on how to get the game to work? I need a definite answer, not a stab in the dark. And no, I will not be "trying" another reinstall.

Despite the last sentence please allow me my 2 cents. If you look down in this forum you will see I had 3 posts with a similar issue and no replies. After that patch I couldn't get anything to work. 2 things come to mind, yes I'm sending the link I used, could not get the 3d client to work. The 2d did and I am finally back in the game as of Tuesday this week. I deleted my ICQ and even my ITunes, not sure the ITunes were necessary, still have it now btw.
1)It needed me to install Direct X and I did could this be a factor? No clue.
2)Here is the link anyway, and at wtf give it a try. Good luck.
