New Install - REg Entries - What am i missing

[Endless Night]

Ok I had to unintall UO  as my client was bugged not seeing gargoles.

So after re-installing and much debugging I found out that the Tile Init Command no longer works and in fact freezes that thread inside EUO.
I've determined that my reg entries must be wrong.  UOXL NEW also doesnt select a client  which confirms to me missing reg entries.

Looked it up and found i didnt have the needed ones so I added below.. but yet its still not working what else am i missing....

Code: [Select]

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00   
   
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Origin Worlds Online\Ultima Online\1.0]   
"ExePath"="C:\\Program Files\\Electronic Arts\\Ultima Online Classic\\client2.exe"
"StartExePath"="C:\\Program Files\\Electronic Arts\\Ultima Online Classic\\client.exe"

[_C2_]

did you lose all the map files that were removed by a patch about 8 months ago?   id have to believe that UO took them back out during a reinstall.  that would make that tile command freeze or stop 100%

I replaced them from the download on another thread... but umm yea maybe one was missing... but that wouldnt explani why the UOXL new button wasnt selecting the client.

So does anyone have a complete zip of the old mul files .


I ran the deconvoler that didnt work .. im thinking im missing some weird registry entry.

Well old installers will install the client but will not patch to current like they used to. 

The problem is fixed... the problem turned out to be the mul files i downloaded from the drop box link in another thread here on these boards.

On one of my old machines I found an older install and used those mul files and it worked perfect.

did you save a copy of the mul files that worked?

Yes i have those files stored away now... if anyone needs i can supply or if TM wants to host it here i can upload .. its 392mb unzipped.

We can't really host them here.  But you can probably use a cloud service for it.
