Patch Notes
We will be releasing a client patch on Wednesday, December 19th, at approximately 10:30am CST.
2D Client
- The 2D client will get a menubar.
- Added support for new 2D monster art.
- Interface drawing optimizations.
3D Client
- Added support for more fonts.
- Fixed issues involving the color picker.
- Increased the radar gump drawing speed.
- The version string will no longer display a build number.
- Mouse cursor will now be correct when over generic gumps.
- Fixed an issue involving pathfinding when zoomed in.
- You will be able to switch 3D from fullscreen to windowed mode on the fly (Alt-Enter).
- You will be able to resize the game in windowed mode as big as you want. However, the bigger you go, the slower the game will run.
- Added Mip-mapping. (Mip-mapping is a method of drawing fewer and larger textures when the camera is zoomed farther out, eliminating the "sparkly" effect some users may have noticed in Third Dawn.)
- Tweak for drawing spider silk when zoomed in.
- Particle density configuration setting now works.
- Fixed an issue with garbled textures on GeForce 3 cards.
- Improved rendering of transparency on dragon wings.
- When zooming in, objects that are no longer in view will not be drawn. This can be used to speed things up at crowded areas like banks.
- General performance improvements (5%-20% depending on hardware and what's going on in game)
Party System Bug Fixes
- 2D - Fixed a bug relating to party status bars becoming “frozen” and not closeable.
- 2D – Fixed an issue involving overlapping text and the party manifest.
- 3D - Fixed an issue with health bars moving to the center of the screen whenever party members reconnected or joined the party.
- 3D - Fixed an issue relating to a party leader’s paperdoll automatically closing whenever a player would accept an invitation to join their party.
- 3D – Fixed an issue regarding the “kick” button being displayed incorrectly in the party manifest.
- 3D – Fixed an issue with party health bars not updating properly.
- 3D – Fixed an issue involving skin hue and resurrecting dead party members.
- 3D – Fixed an issue with names not being displayed for certain people when using the party speak option after reconnecting to the game.
- 3D – Fixed an issue involving party message color.
- Both - Typing ‘/#’ will no longer send a direct tell. Now you must type ‘/t#’ or ‘/t #’ to send a direct tell.
Both Clients (Miscellaneous)
- Added support for the Virtue gump.
- The version string will now have the patch number in it.
- Both clients will get the new "Codex of Wisdom" help system.
- F1 or clicking on the "?" button on the menubar will bring it up.
- The old popup help system has been disabled.
- Various localization files.
The current version should be 3.0.6e for both clients.
If you have any difficulty receiving this patch, please check the following:
- Check the "Patch" directory within your Ultima Online directory (the default location is C:\\Program Files\Ultima Online\Patch). This directory should be empty. Any files in this directory should be deleted.
- If you are unable to connect to the patch server at all, and are using an original (Non-T2A) version of Ultima Online, you may need to update your verinfo file. For details on updating this file, please see the information posted at http://support.uo.com/tech_6.html.
- Run a virus scan on your computer. Undetected viruses may cause conflicts with patching Ultima Online. For information on up-to-date virus detection software, please visit http://www.mcafee.com/myapps/vso/default.asp.
