Additional Comments

There were some performance problems on very low-spec PCs, but they happened only in very precise circumstances and always had a workaround. I also heard people with Windows with these kind of problems, so it's probably a problem of the very old client, not a Wine problem. My pc is now too powerful (for Ultima), so I'm not able to reproduce these problems anymore.

Problems with mouse

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:

1. 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).
2. 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).

For any third-party software and tools, please use their own AppDB entry.
(The same goes for any comments posted here.)

• EasyUO entry
• UO Assist entry
• UO Auto-Pilot
• UO AutoMap entry
• UO Gateway entry
• Yoko Injection entry

If you think there should be any other software listed, please let me know.

This bug was fixed in Wine a long time ago.

 If you're playing Ultima with an old Wine version and you feel this bug is affecting your gameplay experience, please upgrade to a newer version of Wine (wine-1.3.28 being the best until now).
