Excelsior

Ive done everything it says to do in the wiki and also have looked in the forums but my problem is i can not figure out how to get the text that i put into the custom.reg file to merge...i am using Windows 7 so if anyone can help me with this thanks a bunch.

Hey there, whats probably happening is that you're on a 64-bit operating system which stores 32-bit application information in a separate part of the registry. The .reg files and instructions really need to be updated to address the issue..

Anywho, pretty simple fix:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Origin Worlds Online]
"HarvestStageNew"=dword:00000000
"UniqueInstanceId"=dword:484b15f1
"LastHarvestTime"=dword:484bf8d8

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Origin Worlds Online\Ultima Online]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Origin Worlds Online\Ultima Online\1.0]
"ExePath"="..."
"InstCDPath"="..."
"PatchExePath"="..."
"StartExePath"="..."
"Upgraded"="Yes"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Origin Worlds Online\Ultima Online Third Dawn]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Origin Worlds Online\Ultima Online Third Dawn\1.0]
"ExePath"="..."
"InstCDPath"="..."
"PatchExePath"="..."
"StartExePath"="..."
"Upgraded"="Yes"

Note those bold entries (Wow6432Node\) and add them to your .reg file, save, merge with the registry (right-click the file and select Merge) and you should be all set.

Thanks Blaze i will give that a try.

Ok 1 more problem i can not find where to merge it once its been saved...i think that is what im having problems with.

If you aren't getting the Merge option for some reason, you can alternatively go to your Start Menu (or whatever its called in Win7) and type in RegEdit. Open up the Registry Editor then drag-drop the .reg file into the window.

Ok i did all that finally found out how to merge it but it still is saying the same thing that its unable to locate and load a suitable UO cliloc file....What am i doing wrong here...Really starting to give me a headache lol.

Post a copy/paste of what your .reg file looks like, there's most likely a typo in it.

This is what i got...

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Origin Worlds Online]
"HarvestStageNew"=dword:00000000
"UniqueInstanceId"=dword:484b15f1

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Origin Worlds Online\Ultima Online\1.0]
"ExePath"="C:\\Program Files\\Ultima Online - Excelsior Shard\\client.exe"
"InstCDPath"="C:\\Program Files\\Ultima Online - Excelsior Shard"
"PatchExePath"="C:\\Program Files\\Ultima Online - Excelsior Shard\\uopatch.exe"
"StartExePath"="C:\\Program Files\\Ultima Online - Excelsior Shard\\uo.exe"
"Upgraded"="Yes"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Origin Worlds Online\Ultima Online Third Dawn]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Origin Worlds Online\Ultima Online Third Dawn\1.0]
"ExePath"="C:\\Program Files\\Ultima Online - Excelsior Shard\\uotd.exe"
"InstCDPath"="C:\\Program Files\\Ultima Online - Excelsior Shard"
"PatchExePath"="C:\\Program Files\\Ultima Online - Excelsior Shard\\uopatch.exe"
"StartExePath"="C:\\Program Files\\Ultima Online - Excelsior Shard\\uo.exe"
"Upgraded"="Yes"

Hmm it looks right to me.. are you sure the UO directory is in Program Files? If I remember right, someone mentioned that 64-bit Vista and Win7 have a "Program Files (x86)" folder.

Hmmm ill have to look and see if i put it in there or not.
