UO Not Showing on Desktop

Anything you find suspicious, things that crash your client, things that crash the server, anything that doesnt work as it should.

UO Not Showing on Desktop

Post by Jearom »

Hi,
I'm not sure I'm in the right place for this, as it's not exactly an in-game bug (I don't think), but I'm not sure where else to go. My problem is this --
I quit the game while in my house, but without logging off properly. When I tried to get back on a few minutes later, and it went to the login screen as normal, connected normally, allowed me to choose the shard, and then my character. But then as soon as I chose my character the window disappeared. UO is on my taskbar, and when I hover over it I can see that it's logged in in that tiny window that pops up. I even have sound anc can use key commands; the client window is just missing. I've tried opening UO with Razor and without it, and it's the same either way. Razor does show up, however. All other applications I try opening function and are visible as normal, so it's just the UO client.
Is there anything I can try short of reinstalling? And if I do have to reinstall, will I have to redo all my macros and settings? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Hey there, you aren't alone on this issue. It's happened to myself and many others before. :verymad:

No worries though, just log into the client as you normally would (Razor or otherwise) and when it disappears, right-click on its Taskbar icon and click on Restore or Maximize. If fiddling with it that way doesn't do the trick, hit ALT+ENTER a couple times to put it in and out of fullscreen and it should reappear over your desktop.

Hi Blaze, thank you for your fast response! It turns out you're my hero today =). I tried everything I could think of including installing UO over itself, and nothing worked! I even tried running the 3D client, but Razor wouldn't work with it. Thank you so much, I'm back in business!
