Hi guys,
It's been several years since I played UO, and I don't have a PC anymore. But I've read that it can be played on WINE, so I thought I'd give that a try. I signed up for a two week trial. I downloaded the installers, let them unpack, then copied the data1 directories into place and ran the patchers (serially, of course).
Enhanced Client: This is fully patched, but it's just flashing boxes of bright colors. I can see the cursor move when I type, though. If I type my username and password, it shows something that looks like it's probably a server list. But this is totally unplayable, of course; I can't even read the version number.
Classic Client: This looks way better, just like I remember. I type my username and password, but get this error "We are unable to authenticate your login. Usually, this means that either a newer client patch is now available, or that the account name or password you provided are incorrect. (etc)" The client reports itself on the login screen as "7.0.43.1 (Patch Unknown)."
Any ideas for getting one (or, ideally, both) of these to work?
