I cant seem to connect to the shard so I reset my excelsior patches and now I cant download any of the patches it gets to about 800k then says that the file is corrupt.

Ive reset my patches for Excelsior but when i try to download the patches now It gets about 500k then stops saying that the rar file was corrupt

If you are adding it as a "new local server" then I would assume complications can happen. In that case remove that server you'v been trying to add from uogateway then search threw the public servers and let it auto-download the patches.

Im not adding it as a local server. I have tried removing it from UO Gateway and re-adding it but when I try to get the patches again it downloads about 500k or less and then an error occurs saying the rar file is invalid or currupt. At the moment I have been able to play if I force UO gateway to load without the patches but then I cant see any of the static tiles and get stuck on things.

uhm.. I would try to deinstall whole uo gateway and install it new if I had those problems

Ok i just tried that but no luck. I think the patch server is down or is hosting bad files. When you try and go to shard.uoexcelsior.com as a web address you get an Under Construction page.

Just noticed patch server is down.

Try this:
1. Download http://xthost.info/Morpheus/Ultima/Patch.rar
2. Create a new local server with following data:
IP: 208.109.100.155
Port: 2593
3. Manually add path u just downloaded: Edit server u just created and click the AddFiles button under Patch section. Select patch.

This should work, but the ip is temporary, because we are currently on a "vacation server"

cheers that seems to have fixed it. I thought the patch server was down

ok seems like both fsphost vanished into thin air and xhost isnt accepting new users, so i put the official patch to our webserver (not good for the bandwidth, but at least it works for now).

related topic / more info:
http://www.uoexcelsior.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=133
(scroll down for the new post)

uogateway also works now, with the patch on the new location..

If you cant get it to work, do:
1. remove excelsior from your "favorities" - server list.
2. add it to your list again (by looking thru the "public servers" list)
3. wait for the patch to download completely.

i hope that works.

for me it doesn't work either. I'm going to try it 'the Morpheus way'

edit:
hmmm, here the Morpheus way doesn't work either.

I must be doing something wrong here

Post by **Morpheus** » Mon Jul 24, 2006 4:10 pm

Any specific error messages?

Thunderbolt · Post by **Thunderbolt** » Tue Jul 25, 2006 8:48 am

Well, it appeared that my account wasn't found the first time (with the way you decribed to do it)

removing and adding the server didn't work either. When I tried to enter the server the patch started downloading. Around 6,6Mb and around 5Mb it just stopped installing the patch, without a warning.

And now it even appears that the server went offline? (it's red in UOGateway)

Thats because server was moved back to the original location now specs are:

1. Download http://patch.uoexcelsior.com/patch-a-uog.rar
2. Create a new local server with following data:
IP: shard.uoexcelsior.com
Port: 36300 or 2593 (dunno exactly)
3. Manually add path u just downloaded: Edit server u just created and click the AddFiles button under Patch section. Select patch.
