Excelsior

Problem: My game screen is not displaying on the desktop.

I can see it when I mouse over the UO icon in my system tray so I know I am logged in.
I have not made any changes whatsoever to Razor to warrant this.
I can log in successfully using the client.exe and bypassing razor.
And no, I do not want to get rid of Razor for UOSteam for several reasons. I am an old dog. No desire for new tricks.

Any idea what is causing this?
Most importantly, and idea on how to fix it?

I am sure it is an easy fix, but it has eluded me so far.

Try right clicking the window in your taskbar, and maximizing it. (Sounds counterproductive, but you might have to minimize it first)

Unfortunately, that didn't help. I had no option to minimize of maximize in taskbar. However, I have resolved it. Not sure if this has happened to anyone before but in case it happens again, this is how I fixed it.

I logged into Razor with an alt character and it worked. When I went back to my main, it was back to normal. I have no idea why it did what it did in the first place, but logging into an alternate character seems to reset whatever happened.

Thanks for looking into this +R.

I've had this before, and I didn't know that logging in with an alternate character resets it, but if you shift and right click the task bar icon you get minimise and maximise options.

ALT + ENTER is your friend also. toggles full screen mode.

IF you are using razor, there is a simple fix if the automap is acting up on a faucet or two. Have ran into multiple people with the problem. The fix is simple ^_^

Goto your excelsior folder. Look for
map0.mul
map2.mul
map3.mul
etc

You will notice there is NO map1.mul

Make a copy of map0.mul and rename it to map1.mul it will fix a lot of automap errors
