Starting UO problems...help!

Whenever I start up UO, the little rectangular box saying "Ultima Online is Loading" won't ever go away. I literally gotta restart my computer each time to get it away. Problem with it is, UO won't restart without that gone so I find myself restarting my comp every time I want to play. Any help? Thanks!

How long are you letting it "load"?

I assume your internet works fine. I would suggest re-installing if nothing else works.

You can:

1. Ctrl Alt Del ... shut down the process in task manager.

2. Change the resolution on your desktop.

3. Turn off the fancy graphic interface in Vista (I forget the name now)

I have the same problem...and I use option 2 to get around it. Just right click your desktop, chose Personalize, Display Settings, change your screen resolution to anything besides what it is. Then change it back.

Also, if you get a utility (my graphics card driver came with one) that lets you change resolutions using hot keys, it saves some time.


Not sure why EA does not patch this. It is something that could be fixed on their end.

Just create a shortcut to "client.exe" in your UO folder. Then if there's a patch be sure to use "uopatch.exe". I run Vista x64 and it works fine and saves time.

Its because it is listed under processes instead of applications.

UO.exe
