its saying my
key is corrupted
The exact error is a Wrong Folder error.... It says: You selected the wrong folder, do you want to retry?
It says this over and over again because your client is most likely in a custom location on your hard drive that is different than the directory EA would have the default installation go into. For some reason developers love to do this and I don't know why because I'm not alone when I say a lot of us on here have multiple instances of UO Installations on our computers and NONE are in the registry.
UO doesn't need to be in the registry to play the official servers and it doesn't need to be in the registry to play or run a free server so why make programs that look for registry keys?! Kinda counter-productive if you ask me.
Not sure why everyone is having issues, mine is working fine. Default folder in Tools/Options/General shows Electronic Arts/Ultima Online Classic which is patched to 7.0.29.2 (it seems to lock on that one for some reason for me, not really sure why) & I have the "specify a custom Ultima Online folder" checked & set for EA Games Ultima Online 2d client which is patched to 7.0.21.1 Running Win 7 Home Premium
