Absolutely! It looks to stop with an error message, but it has NOT stopped running - like I mentioned in the other thread, leave it alone for a good few minutes! Patience pays off .....DO NOT stop the patcher no matter what let it run even if it seems to stop
you should not have to do this unless you run into problemsshould we check the Perform Full File Check?
Indeed, I think what it does is redownload the entire client.you should not have to do this unless you run into problems
when ITS DONE if the new patch window does not close you can manualy close it just make sure its done! I recommend closing down after and launch like normal then the window should leave on its own when doneOk I did finally get my UO up and running, but now when using UO assist it opens my client and the patcher at same time so I end up with 2 instances of UO. Wacky any suggestions?
with this patcher checking that box makes it go to each file and compare it and if missing it re downloads it or if there is a problem with it it does the same!Indeed, I think what it does is redownload the entire client.
It's not loading the EC, it's loading large patches for Classic.I am all kinds of messed up here I clicked on my CC and the patch came threw then I saw a small dos screen that went away now when I try to log on it loads up the EC with all kinds of patches? But at the top of what looks like the EC client it says classic. Does this make any sence?
this is a tugsoft problem not uo! uoassist is made to run with uo ,not the other way aroundI started UOA as usual, got the patch error other got aswell. Then i started the client.exe manually and it did patch some big file after opening a dos box. When i start UOA now it loads the old classic client as usual and it opens a dos box wich will shortly after open a second client patcher window. The second one will crash out after patching something every time i start it. What a major screwup ....
That means very little to those of us who do use UOA...which is practically everyone on the Classic Client.this is a tugsoft problem not uo! uoassist is made to run with uo ,not the other way around
I use uoassist! I am using it now! what i am saying is tugsoft owns and runs assist it is whats causing the problem not uo! so they need to fix it! btw mine is working?That means very little to those of us who do use UOA...which is practically everyone on the Classic Client.
This is not an issue, upon launching the patcher it determines if any of your client files need to be patched which is the 390/390 you are seeing.I have the same issue as mentioned by Aurelius in on of the other threads, that evertime i close the client and re open it says its loading a 390/390 patch. This same issue was occuring with the EC patcher when i thought Id have a look at the EC client early last year. The solution provided to me from the techos (via EA help) at that time, was to download the Classic client instead (this option is obviously no longer available).
So is this actually downloading 390 everytime i load up?
And no.. because of all the posts about the the issue with uoassist I did not start up the game using it, each time was started up using uo.exe and yes i first patched exactly per Bleak Mythics post.
you could try bypassing the patcher once you know its patchedI don't understand it. It doesn't move on to downloading the files if I don't use uoa, so are those files already patched or not?
I've uploaded the patchlog maybe someone can make sense of it.
Sorry Bleak, didn't see your post.
Is it supposed to take so long to check? I'm talkin several minutes, not the few seconds the process takes with EC
Bleak, it's taking a full minute and a half to download the checksum for the patcher server to verify if my client is up-to-date. Do you expect that length of time to get any shorter? That is an uncomfortably long period of time to wait if your client crashed and you had to start it up again to go rescue a character, etc. I know you can bypass the patching process by starting with the client.exe file and I imagine I'll do that if I really have to log on quickly, but I have concerns that down the road you guys will eliminate that option as well and we'll be forced into contacting the patcher server every time we want to log in. Is it just slow today because there's an exceptionally large patch and everyone's downloading it, or will this be the new norm for logging into UO?This is not an issue, upon launching the patcher it determines if any of your client files need to be patched which is the 390/390 you are seeing.
Each time the patcher is run it will check for available updates and verify your client files. So to answer your question yes you download a checksum from the patcher server to verify that you are up to date. Once that is complete you can hit play.
Yeah, I've timed it a couple of times for what seems to be just the "checksum" download. I wonder where the patch server is located? Also, are you running as administrator? Or is there any possibility that your anti-virus software is holding up things because the client has changed?heh minute and a half? Take something close to 10 minutes on Terry's pc. That's why I thought it was doing a big download.
/agree it takes an alarmingly long time, and I just bought a new computer.Bleak, it's taking a full minute and a half to download the checksum for the patcher server to verify if my client is up-to-date.

Mine took 25 seconds (but seemed like much longer). With the splash screen 35 seconds. Does it have to do this patch check every single time? Is this some sort of cheat prevention?This is Terry's pc, he's still on XP so 'run as admin' doesn't apply.
I just timed this. I clicked the icon at 20.42.30 and the 'play' button lit up at 20.47.40.
I'll be uninstalling his nice new install in the morning and starting over. Wish me luck![2012/03/12 19:10:42] Failed to load module [http]

I'm on XP too and the patcher seemed to die on me. I had to bring up the task manager and kill the uo process because when I fired UO up, I wasn't bargaining for an hour long patch. I've finally got UO patched up, but as I mentioned above, everything I fire it up, it takes forever for the patcher to get to the login screen. Have you tried rebooting your system?Right... I'm on Windows XP at the moment ('cause I'm ancient). Anyone else on XP? I only know a couple so far and they're having the same issues as me.
I need some nice advice you lovelies. Because when I dbl click my desktop icon (or the icon inside the folders) for UO, it doesnt even do anything at all, apart from give me the hourglass on the cursor for about 3 seconds.
When I try in UOA, I can get as far as clicking "play" on the first box that comes up but then it says I don't even have any UO files on my computer, even though I'm staring at them.
I've uninstalled and re-installed 6 times now. I've used the new client patcher in the patch notes. Didn't work. I've tried re-installing through creating a trial account... the icon patched to an extent but once it wanted to start patching today's stuff I got the dodgy black screen with white text. I left it to go about its business and it closed, waited a while longer and nothing happened. Then when I went to try start it again, cbl clicked UO icon on desktop... Nothing happened. Going round in circles.
Since 4pm. And it's starting to get on my rag. Any suggestions? Pwease?
This is where I am...hourglass and then nothing. As mentioned, I can open it from .exe and it takes foreever to do some file patch test. For now, It's a workaround, I guess...I don't have and never had UOAssist, so it isn't an issue.I need some nice advice you lovelies.
