This patch contains lots of goodies, and some helpful updates.
CHANGES:
- Included expatcher program for future patching
- Ability for server to detect patch version
- Large address aware loaded into the client, to prevent the "out of memory" error
- Map modifications for Elysium
- Many item updates & additions
- Many mob updates & additions
- Fix for clothing and armor in the previous patch that disappeared upon sitting
- Made hundreds of items equipable that previously were not. Example: monster statuettes, various food items, etc
- Fixed various mobs from previous patches which did not display or function correctly
- Fixed many items that had graphical issues such as extra pixels, dyed poorly with tubs, missing pixels, etc
- Created multiple versions of gumpart.mul that will allow players to choose from 5 backpack styles. (see below)
IMPORTANT NOTES:
- All players should install the patch via the expatcher. If you wish to make use of one of the custom backpack options, download and install that AFTER using the expatcher to install the base patch! Instructions for how to properly install a custom backpack are below.
- Please be aware that if you do not patch your client, you will run into problems with quests/content and be unable to see the new items, mobs and hues properly. We have implemented a way to detect which patch version a player is utilizing and future content and quests will do a patch check, you won't be able to access them without the proper patch installed.
BUG REPORTS:
- We did not make ANY changes to existing mobs that would allow them to appear with new patch-graphics, so if you see a mob graphic you have never seen before, this is a bug and you should report it! If you notice any mobs that don't look like they should (nightmares that appear as demon-men, lizardmen that look like nagas, etc etc) please send a page.
- If you suddenly see any weird problems with armor appearances or items, please send a bug report.
- Open a help request using the 'bug report' option.
- Explain the issue, and how you came to discover it
- Use the link option to tag the specific item/mob/location that is bugged
- Submit your ticket
PATCHING ISSUES:
- You should log out of all UO related programs before attempting to patch, or it will fail.
Remember to fully explain the issue in the body of your page, and to attach links to any pertinent items/mobs/locations.

Previews!
These are just a small portion of the changes & additions made for this patch, there's a lot more y'all haven't seen yet
(click thumbnails for full sized images)
New hues:
New mounts & mobs:
New totems, deco & trophies:
New backpack options:
L: Celtic backpack R: Dragon Backpack
L: Fur backpack R: Tan backpack
Many of these new additions are specifically for the facets, so you won't likely see them right away. However, a lot of the additions were put in for seasonal quests and you'll start seeing them implemented in these areas. There are a lot of new food graphics, too, that you may start seeing in food deco sendouts. I'll probably use new mobs in some monster bash events, just for giggles
Happy patching!
