Hi Cerwin Vega,
I just got a new computer with windows vista and when i start up UO the white box that comes up saying Ultima Online Is Loading wont go away. If I go into windows task manager and click processes i can end process on UO.exe*32 and it will go away. I reinstalled UO again and that didn't fix the problem. Anyone else ever have this problem or know what I should do to make it go away?
This is a glitch between the UO:2D client patcher and Windows Vista's Aero interface. If you turn off the Aero interface, that glitch won't happen anymore.
Myself when I run 2D, I prefer Aero... so I just close the patcher like you do through Task Manager (I don't run 2D all that often as I prefer KR).
Also when patching either client, remember to Run As Administrator so your client will patch properly.
