On Tuesday, March 20, 2007 at 11:00PM PDT (March 21 7:00AM GMT), we will deploy Client Patch 5.0.8.4

Details for the patch follow:

  • Fixed issue with Heartwood not displaying

If patched correctly, your current version will display 5.0.8.4 for both clients. If you have any difficulty receiving this patch, please check the following:

Check the "Patch" directory within your Ultima Online directory (the default location is C:\Program Files\EA Games\Ultima Online\Patch).

This directory should be empty. Any files in this directory should be deleted.

Run a virus scan on your computer. Undetected viruses may cause conflicts with patching Ultima Online. For information on up-to-date virus detection software, please visit http://www.mcafee.com

If after trying the above, you are still experiencing difficulty patching the Ultima Online client, please visit this web page.


We've gotten reports of issues with the latest patch and we're investigating. News as I get it - stay tuned.[1]


UPDATE 7:20 PDT: We've pinpointed the issue (we... um, accidentally made Heartwood go away. It's not destroyed, just... gone away. We'll bring it back, promise.) We're working on a fix now - I'll post an ETA when I have one.


UPDATE 9:06 PDT: We have a build being tested - see the next post for patch notes
