I tried to open a random vendor container and then others but it's working fine for me... have you checked for errors?
No errors.
a) open any secured house container. works fine, can toggle between any container grid mode.
b) open vendor backpack, close
c) open any secured house container. Only classic CC mode is available, toggle no longer works.

Logging out, back in, works fine again.

Yeah, just looked at mine too and it's 22+GB. I deleted the errors file and it's still over 22GB.
this patch should take care of the problem, I've added a logs cleanup at startup. It will delete any log older than 12 hours and if you have more than 100 errors it will delete the surplus (keeping only the new ones). All this when you start EC Playsound, so it shouldn't bother you later :)

Lifebars are all messed up for me. I play mostly with 5 to 8 others in a guild and we party and then break the party several times during an evenings hunts for various hunts/bosses. First time is somewhat ok, but after that it's chaos, bars show, some don't show, you can't pull them from their characters, bars get stuck on my cursor, etc etc etc. Frustrating, cause my guildmates are telling me their CC is great now and works the way it should changing party bar to regular and vice versa.

Don't understand.........???

I think the UI has to be working for me to play the game, ECSound is working, Pinco's is working, game is running great except in areas like EM Events and a few very very heavy infested areas. It's
just the ages old problems for me of party bars vs normal bars fighting. I've had that problem for ages but now it is severe.

I cannot start Up with Pinco at all :(
You have to start EC Playsound and wait, since you have millions of logs it will take time to get rid of it all, in the meantime it may look that nothing is happening...

For populated areas try to disable the boss bar and make sure you have no active quests.
The bars have not changed in ages, the only thing that has changed was inside the client with the last patch...
Check for errors in case there is something new...

as usual antivirus, firewall, etc... needs exceptions and the game folder needs full control for "everyone"...

it can also be the UI installed in the wrong place (it must be unzipped in the main game folder NO SUBFOLDERS).

i unzipped it directly into the game folder, also the EC playsound exe was there as i was trying to run it directly without a shortcut.

Yep.. :(

Is There any logging that early?
nope, try to skip the patcher with the -game in the EC Playsound shourtcut... btw does the game starts without EC Playsound? because if you have only used the game installer it still has to download everything...

I just installed the UI today to try it out and I am having the same issue as Finley. I can run the UI patcher fine but EC PlaySound will not run.

Looking in event viewer it is creating a crash log in windows. When I look at the crash log it is basically getting an exception System.IO.DirectoryNotFound

I made sure I copied the contents of the zip straight into the EC game folder and also gave everyone full access to the folder. Also running as admin.

I tried to attach the crash log in a code tag but it thinks it is spam.

what's the exact error your getting in the log?

I'm pretty new to this client so I might not know exactly where to look. But in the logs folder in the client folder, it is not updating any of those log files when I open EC PlaySound. When I do the UI patcher it just updates the patchlog.log

it's in the errors log viewer, but try now, that partial error gave me an idea and it might be solved :D

Ok, with the last patch I've done a little change in the way the healthbars are updated, and this should provide better performance in highly populated areas.
By default the mobile status is updated 3 times simultaneusly each time the health changes or re-enter the screen, same for the name and the health color, and this means that with many healthbars active the UI had to update them like crazy killing your FPS. With the new change, the update cannot occur more often tha once every 1/10 second, which is still fast, but in comparison to 3 times per update is ALOT slower and should provide better performances.

This is the first step towards the transition to a new healthbars system so at each step make sure to report anything suspicious or if the problems starts to pile up there will be a lot of troubles later on :D

This is not a Pincos issue but has anyone else noticed that some vendors (players vendors) and some NPC's now show up in War Mode? This only started happening with the Pub 100 patches.

The City Loyalty part of the character sheet is messed up.

I tried to declare a new character for citizenship in Minoc, but it curiously declared him a citizen of New Magincia instead. Also, the confirmation gump shows a string error instead of a city name.

it should work now :)
it's interesting tho that noone noticed this, since it was broken from the gump rework... probably noone uses the city loyalty at all :D

My NPCs are ready to fight I guess and yeah, I haven't changed city loyalty on a character in ages but tried a few days ago and didn't work so got into CC and did it. Was going to report it and forgot.

After the forced UO patch today, this is what I get when any character gains a skill
Edit: I just tried the default client, and it still shows gains normally

this should fix it, but I won't be able to do any more fix until the new healthbars are ready :D

Also providing feebacks for the New healthbars will be constructive because when they are done, there will be no going back :p

this has nothing to do with the UI, you simply haven't patched the client to the latest version...
