Additional Comments
the game install patches but when you goto login the game is unbearably slow ie the login screen doesn't show your text when typed and can take up to 1-2 minutes to show if you are lucky to log in the lag is shown across the network ie 50% packet loss and over 9000 latency for all servers if you dont lose your connection and get in you can move as the game locks up
on a side note the graphics probs from previous versions look allot better hopefully this will be fixed soon
also a bug report was placed for this problem
This can be solved for some clients by setting "MouseThread=off" in every uo.cfg (there are many for each character and one global).
Problems running uo.exe
You can safely use client.exe for the game and run uopatch.exe from time to time manually.
Connecting to free shards
You have to disable encryption for your client:
Either you can find already patched client for your shard (browse the shard forums). And you can run it like the normal one (tested by Plague).
Or you can patch the client yourself using UO Rice (some say this can be only done on Windows and before any patching) and then run the patched client. (suggested by sk8dork, not tested by Plague).
Note
For any third-party software and tools, please use their own AppDB entry. (The same goes for any comments posted here.)
