TROUBLESHOOTING
Q – Help I can’t connect!
Double check your username / password – typos etc happen to the best of us.
Ok, so we will try our best to help as we understand that it can be incredibly frustrating when you just want to play the damn game! Here we have tried to answer questions proactivity and provide some trouble shooting idea and tips if you are having issues connecting to our shard.
BASIC STUFF FIRST – Obviously we’re assuming you need to have the storage capacity on your hard drive and are able to run the game on your computer / system of choice. You need an internet connection to be able to download and connect to our shard and have basic knowledge of Online games.
Lagging ? Try turning off footsteps and if you can connect via a Ethernet connection. Our servers are in Europe double check our shard is online by visiting our homepage.
First of all you should be connecting via Razor or UOSteam for example make sure that you are using the most up to date server login go to our connect page and make sure the one on your computer software of choice matches our website connect page and the port is set 2593
I still can’t connect! Make sure you run your update patcher for Ultima online to update your client to the most up to date version. Then try to reconnecting.
If you are still having issues connecting we suggest that you backup where needed uninstall UO and remove all files then install a fresh new version update it and try to connect again. Also try alternative software I.e if you can’t connect on one try another one.
Razor picks up your installed ultima online client.exe files automatically HOWEVER sometimes it might ask where the files are if it can’t locate them automatically.
You can set your client on Razor to a defined directory location. If for example you play on multiple shards with custom files, you might want to point razor to a different installed directory with a fresh updated version of UO.
On occasion download files can get corrupt so make sure your downloading from a reputable source. Or using our suggested links.
PLEASE HELP I STILL CANT CONNECT
Seriously I get it, so frustrating when your at this point especially when you’ve wasted time!
Take a breather for 5 minutes take a walk watch a movie seriously don’t stress we got you! Sometimes we need to look at things with a fresh pair of eyes and take a break to refuel.
Ok so at this point all normal usual fixes have been unable to fix the issue for you.
Therefore we need more information from you such as is there an error message?
Which method are you using to connect?
Have you tried alternative ones?
Do you still get the same message?
The more information the more chance we can help resolve your issue faster. In the future we are going to implement a forums section and discord for dedicated help and support however until then please contact admin@aobgames.com
