Thank you for taking care of this newest problem with such haste and thank you for everything you have done all these years. I don't think I am alone when I say, playing UO WITHOUT UO Assist is NOT an option.

I don't often agree with every word in a post, but this one I do. Well done Tug.
Sorry for the shameless smileys, but was the only way I could think of to show some kinda standing ovation. heh

i couldn't agree more.
if for some reason i couldn't use uoassist anymore i dont think i would be able to play.
infact ive often thought that if Tug asked for a yearly payment of the initial payment i would pay it without even a complaint.... and for a Scottish fella that is saying a LOT!

Not an avid poster but my enthusiasm for this cannot be squelched. I have neglected to express my appreciation and gratitude for Tugsoft and the UOA application for the many years it has been around. I too cannot imagine playing UO without it. My gaming experience would surely drop dramatically (if not cease completely) if it were to go the way of UOAM or other neglected programs.
Your quality of service is far, far above your cost for service. Thank you.

I had this problem eariler. Check your task manager and see if UOA is still running there even though you have closed UO out. If so, end process it. It does occasionally not close out as it should.

did that sometimes it's not there, sometimes there's 2, w/ different amounts of memory usage. Even if I close both, I might not get the "assist is running" msg, but after i get logged in, assist is not there. If I cold boot, it'll work every single time (leastways every time i've done that), every single time.
Edit: when I'm in, and assist is good, it doesn't show in taskman
Thumbs up!
Exactly what she said: ^^^^^Thank you for taking care of this newest problem with such haste and thank you for everything you have done all these years. I don't think I am alone when I say, playing UO WITHOUT UO Assist is NOT an option.
Tug soft has earned my loyalty long ago.... the gentilman has been good to all in uo. Thank you.

while reflecting a little bit, I thought back over the many years of rarely interrupted service, that when it was down, often mere hours later it was patched.
Rarer was a post, much less an entire thread dedicated to just saying Thanks.
After re-reading my previous post, I feel that I've taken the product a little for granted, sorry.
Even if mine never works again, Thank You for all the years it has.

I uninstalled UO Assist, even allowed it to delete all keys and settings, i.e. macros after I backed up the folder of course.
I deleted all the registry keys, specifically just delete the key "Origin Worlds Online." All the sub-keys will be deleted with it.
I then restarted my computer, re-downloaded the UO Assist installer.
Ran the installer as Administrator and then set compatibility to always run the shortcut as Admin too. It did a quick download of the .dll, opened the patcher and then the client opened with UOA working.
I had to add my accounts keys again but it only took a few minutes to add five accounts.
I copied my macros back over and UOA is working fine.

Altho there's several very crowded threads now about assist, Perhaps a new one just for those left still broken might be in order. Maybe seeing under which circumstances it's not working will help aid in it's recovery, plus a good recovery point for notifications. Many got fixed, but some got left behind.

I was among the few for whom the patch today did not fix UO Assist. I hadn't touched any registry files, yet it continued not to load and stayed running in the task manager.
I emailed Tugsoft about 6:45 this evening to report i still had a probelm, and what i had and had not done to try and fix it.
Shortly after 7:00 I got an email from Tugsoft asking if he could send me some UOA files and report back or send a log of the errors when I ran them. He stuck with this process through 23 more emails and several hours. (I was reading a book and checking my email when it went "bing").
I am pleased to say it is now working perfectly and I am awed by his customer service and dedication. I paid, what, $12? 10+ years ago? and he is still willing to put in the time to get things fixed. Dang, and thanks!
*edit* Before everyone goes and emails him, he said he'd be posting an update to UOA soon.

Great report Sally. Thanks.
It's great to see how well Tugsoft has supported their product over the years. EA could sure take a lesson or two from Tug.

Thank you again, Tugsoft, for well over a dozen years of reliability.
And a separate thanks for continuing that record.

Got the new patch this morning. No more hard boots, Yea!
My problem has been mostly resolved (xp pro sp3 Intel 1.7ghz Celeron M 1.69ghz, 1.87gb RAM),
I've already had 3 times where assist didn't come up - this is by logging in, X'ing out, restarting, (I've done this in the recent past for unrelated testing - it was flawless then). Not sure if it's a timing issue... not waiting long enough after closing... or waiting x-seconds after the Play button lights up...
I know if I wait 1-3 seconds between every step along the way, it works w/o fail, and when it doesn't, I can simply try again. If i detect a confirmed pattern, I'll post it, or/and email it in, but for the most part, my issue is resolved. Thanks again

Sevin, i would highly recommend emailing Tugsoft at their contact link. I was positively floored by his quick response. Give him as much info as you can in the email, what you have for computer system, what you have tried, what has and has not worked, what you have done, etc. My experience has been that he is VERY involved in making it continue to work for all.

I was gonna post this earlier... I'm normally on headphones, and I suddenly noticed something new. About the time when the assist advertisement page comes up, where you could click settings, I hear a "Click" - similar to the keytouch sound on a smartphone, and another click when the 'Play' button lights up.
If I wait for the clicks before preceding, It's been bulletproof. I honestly don't remember hearing anything, nice additional touch.

Couldn't live without it. For many years I have been awed at Tugsoft's commitment to a great product. If you put a donation link on the webpage I will even put my money where my mouth is! I have been thinking of doing so for many years now. Mahalo nui loa from Hawai'i!
