How is this supposed to work? I downloaded the client from EA and ran the patcher but it didn't indicate what patch it was downloading, so I wasn't sure where I needed to stop. I dug through my box of old games and could only find the Third Dawn expansion; it includes a UO: Renaissance installer so I'm installing that now.

When you run the patcher you can see what version it is currently updating to, just gotta watch. the patcher is called uopatcher.exe inside the game directory

After that there's instructions on installing Razor and putting in the UO Hybird IP address in to connect to. Installing from UO:R might not be enough, think you have to use the AoS client

Starting from Third Dawn it looks like I've got about a decade worth of patches to download. I looked at the client link I downloaded from the official site and it says it's version 7.0.24.0, which is already past the 7.0.23.1 patch the Hybrid people recommend. This is madness!

Uninstall UO / reinstall takes about 5 minutes. Then open mycomputer/c/EA/UO/UOpatch.exe. It starts at about 7.0.16.0 or w.e, you need it to go from 16 to 21.2. While its patching open mycomputer/c/EA/uo/Patch and keep an eye on the file in there while the game patches, takes about 5-10 minutes. As soon as the file in the patch folder sais 7.0.21.2 press cancel right away. If it goes higher then that you will see snow all over the place.

I don't get it. Is this the right thing?



It installed the game, then when I ran UO Patcher it was already up to date. I think they may have just updated the .exe you get from the official site so you get the latest patch version included.

WEIRD. Did you install from a disc or from the site?

http://web.cdn.eamythic.com/us/uo/installers/20110617/UOClassicSetup_7_0_15_1.exe

That's the link it gives. It's dead. I think EA updated the installer to include the latest patch and got rid of the old one.
