Even with full file checks and complete reinstallations, at times the patcher has seemed stuck, and it seems screwier and screwier. After I reactivated my house-holder accounts and logged in, no problem (and nothing to patch). Then a few hours later when checking something else, the patcher just sat there for 10 minutes.

I log in 4 accounts every day and have had no patching issues in years.

I see why you have trouble understanding that UO RNG works. You cant outsmart a game that others can log into every day.

Someone posts here every time they can not get in. There are not many of those circumstances. As with your RNG analysis, user error.

Every time I have had that issue I have ran the client as admin to patch. That seems to fix it for me. Good luck tho.

I hear that a lot. I do not run anything on my PC as administrator. I don't have that many programs on it tho.

The most common reason something does not work for me is my Virus program. I have finally learned how to operate Bit Defender well enough to keep it for 4 years now. Usually they do not last that long because they do something to not let me play UO so they get removed.

The patcher needs to run as administrator. For the game itself admin does no difference at all.
