Odd.. After the last patch update, the kirin ethy mounts I have already show up again. But today I made three new ones with the reward gump and they remain invisible. The kirin ethy mounts I already had still work and the new ones are invisible. Seeing that these all use the same graphic, I wondering why that is..

Sometime last week, Colibri ran a global command to repair mounts that already existed. Unfortunately he has yet to change the serverside scripts themselves, so any -new- versions of the problem mounts that are created will be invisible and he'll have to run another global change after he changes the scripts.

Are you sure you are not double clicking the link again, or the torrent box...also if the file i believe is made as a .rar file, do you have something like 7zip or winrar to open that type of file?

I had problems with memory, increased it from 512Mb to 3072Mb min and max, and now the final patch is working fine.
http://windows.microsoft.com/is-is/wind ... ual-memory

EDIT: sometimes still get "out of memory" warning, but it works if i open it few times.

EDIT No.2: can't get it running anymore...i tried everything, different amounts of memory, tried with NO programms running in background at all, restarted like 20 times....it's not working, i'll instal without patch, play until i can, and then i guess i'll say goodbye. final patch should't be left with an issue like this.
I don't know how the shard thinks to get new players at all with problem like this. I guess they'll choose another shard with easy and 100% working install/patch.

Rather than filling this thread with quotes like this, let's all do a google search. What you will find is that this is a very common problem with modified clients. Virtually all of these old shards are modified. Try it without razor or assistuo and it'll probably work. AssistUO is significantly more memory intensive at startup than Razor is. Some real high use things you might have running and don't realize is are things like the windows widgets, gadgets, whatever they're called. Do not open your web browser PERIOD prior to opening UO. Otherwise you'll have to go into taskmanager and close down whatever junk it leaves running. Something else that helped tremendously with my starting up of UO and the whole computer, for that matter, was a program called FixCleaner. It's free and it's some microsoft certified thing. Worked incredible for me. So rather than posting comments that do nothing towards helping fix problems let's use the trillion+ websites we have availability through to look for options that may help. Then we take those options and share in this thread.
