Trouble-Shooting
The patcher is saying the file doesn't exist and asks if I want to create it. Why?
You probably don't have the UO folder set correctly. You can pick the option to change the default client path, browse to the folder you installed UO to and select it, then hit OK and re-patch.
You patch, but then when you log in, nothing is changing.
Either you don't have the correct client path set and the files are going to the wrong place, or the Operating System is blocking you from downloading or copying the files to the new location. Make sure the client path is correct using the method above or run the patcher as administrator.
After patching, UO keeps crashing or ground tiles/boats/houses show up weird.
It says "UpdateSwap.exe" is not found and won't update.
This is either a permission problem with the folder (UAC on Windows Vista/7) or the UpdateSwap.exe file isn't on the server because Taran or I goofed and baleeted it. If you can see it HERE then it's permissions; if it's not there, private message me and I'll have to recompile it and re-add it.
The temporary fix is to simply redownload the IN Patcher.exe manually.

- Another program that uses UO files was open and broke something.
- Close all programs that use UO files (Client.exe, Pandora, UO Architect, etc) and repatch.
- Please report which programs caused the conflict along with the process name and I can make the patcher give a warning when that program is open.
- Close all programs that use UO files (Client.exe, Pandora, UO Architect, etc) and repatch.
- Now that we support Client 7, there are two different sets of the tiledata.mul, multi.mul and multi.idx that it needs. You could have the wrong one.
- Open the Patcher and go to Tools, then Use Client 6.
- This will download the files for Client 6 along with Client 6.0.4.0 and install that to your UO folder.
- "Use Client 7" doesn't work right now since I haven't tested which Client 7.X is the best for the shard so far. Feel free to PM me with recommendations.
