Why does Gungsuh.ttf reinstall every time I open the UI? This has happened for more than a week now I think.

try to delete that file manually, maybe it has something broken and the patcher can't fix it...

According to my searches that file does not exist and I looked and it is not in your font list. This also happens on my laptop running Windows 7, it's not just a one computer problem. My regular desktop comp is Windows 10.

This is what the patcher window says:

mmm I think that file might actually be broken on the server, I've re-uploaded it... try again, now should work.

That fixed it, downloaded the file this time instead of just zipping through it and saying it downloaded it. Not getting it at all after the first time it installed.

Would it be possible for you to increase the icon size of the runebooks, spellbooks, runic atlases and also regular books in the backpack? At present the books only occupy a small amount of the space, if they were bigger I'm pretty sure we could see the colors a lot better. They're a lot larger in the backpack of the CC and the color can be seen much easier.

use the scale mode and increase the backpack size then, it's the only thing that will work. I've tried several times in the past to increase the size of certain items, but the result is a disaster and won't improve anything...

Thanks for the try. I use a 24" screen, have the grid backpack enlarged to it's limit and the books measure in actual size 1/4" long side of the book, way too hard to see details and determine the color at first glance. They are slightly larger if I use the Legacy backpack completely enlarged but then I cannot target anything to move it and half the reason I came to the EC was the grid backpacks so that's no solution anyhow.

@Pinco If I made you fancy graphics to use as center-of-the-screen "warnings," could you add them (and the necessary code) for when you dig up a lava rock and for when the Eodon volcano becomes unstable? These would help people acknowledge the important events in that overly spammy questline.

Here are some graphics, pngs with transparent backgrounds. They are probably a bit on the large side, so you may want to resize them.

When you fins a lava rock, this appears over your head:
*You uncover a lava rock and carefully store it for later!*

When the volcano is about to erupt, this appears over your head:
*The Volcano is becoming unstable!*

I can tweak these if needed.

Having the chat line attached to the journal doesn't work well for me at all. Its way to small. And no, increasing the width of the journal isn't an option.

The option to put it below the game window would be the best solution to several problems.

Pweeeese?

@Pinco would it be possible to get an option in the user settings to completely turn off / disable "item sort on this container"

I know there is an option when I open the container but it just resets each time I login / out.

I'd love just to be able to turn it off permanently.

that can't be done. The sort flag is saved on each container and corpses in general, if it's not saving then you're profile is broken...

I had an idea... If there a way to make an object handle that would show items that aren't locked down in a house? I've had several friends put stuff down, think they locked it down, only to have the item decay because they messed up.

It'd be a nice security feature regardless.

I have to check, something like this may kill the remaining performance of the client...

How much should the Options- Disk Cache settings be set to? How many MB for a "decent" computer?

I doubt it makes a difference... that cache just save the houses so that you can load them faster, and see more ghost image when you pass between trammel and felucca :D

Hi all
I've read what's available but having trouble with the following.

1. Can't loot item using right click
2. Vacuum uses main pack as loot bag, would like to use pack within the main pack.
3. Would like to use secondary pack for changing, uses main pack for dressing undressing, then have to manually move items
Thanks

Could you set up an "event mode" for the UI that lessens some of the overhead? I'm thinking a single action (because people are lazy) that disables loot sort, the new item properties layout and drops the particle detail to low. Anything that will help the client run smoother and allow people to loot public corpses without crashing...without disabling your UI altogether.

I don't have a bit of a problem anymore since I got a new computer with a nice video card and big processor, I think a lot of the problems I had, and probably the ones you are having is due to equipment more than the game itself. The only problem I still have is the loot which takes a few minutes to appear which is annoying. I was just at our last event and there were from 75 to 100 people and I ran around like a fool without any lag.

My system is barely a year old and has ram and processor power to spare, the EC runs on an SSD. The only lag I get is from the big explosion FX and opening the public corpses of big EM mobs.

As I said in the past the solution is to keep the profile clean, disable the loot sort. The insane amount of items inside public corpses is the real problem, everytime an item is moved the client has to re-process the whole container content and there is no way to avoid that.

I'll load up any corpse FIRST to disable loot sort. I hate loot sort.

I then go to the big boss. Scalis, EM mobs etc. I then try to open the corpse one it goes public. My whole client totally locks up so I force close it and start another.

When my new client is loaded and I'm logged in the loot sort is enabled again. I'd love to just be able to turn loot sort off forever.

Yes mine too, just goes back to loot sort enabled everytime, I don't want to disable it permanently but it sure would be nice if when you disabled it, it remembered you did that and saved that until you told it to start sorting again.

Once you have opened one corpse and disabled it then it says off. At least until you log back in. The trouble is when you open this big public corpse, it locks up the client and you have to reload. I would love an option in the settings to enable / disable it all the time.

same problem that happen in the past and has been solved with a clean profile...

btw, the loot sort is automatically disabled if the container has too many items inside...

Does that mean making a totally fresh one or can I just "clean" my current one?

I make one profile, set up all my layout etc and then copy and rename it to use with other characters. If I sent it to you would you be able to see if there is anything wrong with it?

I save everything inside the "User Data" folder.

If I delete EVERYTHING inside the "Documents\EA Games\Ultima Online Stygian Abyss"

and load up and make a new profile would this then be "clean" ?

Is it safe to copy my old macros using EC Profile Manager to the new character template I will use?

Here it is a magic trick: the disappearance of saved variables.

How to do it:
1. Save a variable (manually so there is no risk of interference)
2. Log out
3. Log in
4. Load the variable
Voilà, it's gone :D

Unfortunately there is no trick to get it back... weird? a lot!

The truth is that some variable are deliberately removed at login, I can't say why (terrorism perhaps? :p ).

Anyway I changed the name of the loot sort variable and now it seems to work, give it a try :D

Hey Pinco, is it possible for you to make it where the container for Armoires won't close, when graphically the armoire "doors" shut? If in EC, when you double click and open up an Armoire's container menu, about 10-12 seconds later the "doors" on the Armoire graphic will shut, which also closes the container menu. This problem isn't specific to your UI though, the base EC client has this annoyance.

it's quite annoying, but unfortunately that happens server side... when the doors shut the server send the "close container" request and there is nothing that can be done at that point :(

@Pinco Something is seriously messed up with the crafting system. Half the time the menu tells me I have no tools, and I have to go fiddle with the tool selector multiple times for it to recognize either a tool in my pack or one of the machines.

Its also been telling me that I don't have the resources in my pack to make jewelry...when I'm looking right at them. Its usually the gemstone it whines about being missing, when I have dozens of them in my pack. Sometimes it won't recognize the ingots.

I'm hearing reports of these issues from other people as well :(

The talisman bonuses aren't showing on any crafting menu at this point either...

that's a client problem, often it's unable to find stuff in the backpack... the only possible fix is relog but it may quite well not working, also keeping the profile clean can reduce the chance of that happening.
