So... it seems that the client is too old and has missing items that breaks the game when it gets to loading the map and surrounding area...??? I assume...
Which leads me to question: why the official shard version is so obsolete, if it is, and how should a *real* installation look like: like, I get full official game version, then drop this version on top of it or how do I do it? o_O
Do you have an original UO instalation perhaps. You shouldn't be getting anything about versions being too old iirc, and the patcher should be nowhere near it.
It kinda sounds like you are using a different UO to the one you downloaded.
You are trying to run client.exe right, and not UO.exe right?
OK... so I was being dumb: I used razor to start client and it worked (somehow). But when I launched just uo.exe I had to create a new char, but appeared in the right spot and all kinds of right mechanics were working, so I guess that's that...
Now I have two less grave questions: 1) how to pass uomap uo.exe (as a parameter or location); and 2) how to properly use razor to start excelsior (when I do now with starting uo.exe with it, it doesn't seem to initialise properly)?
