This is a RunUO forum. So I would guess that people having connection problems are having them with the new client and RunUO shards. So the solution is to use an older client to connect to free shards. ::rolls eyes::
If you don't know how to have more than one version of the client installed, do some searches. Hint - it involves the system registry.
Oh what the hell, here's how to do it:
1. Install UO. Only patch up to whatever client version you want to use for your shard.
2. Copy your UO directory to a new directory, i.e. "My Shard".
3. Create 2 files saved to your desktop, one called "Regular UO.reg" and one called "My Shard.reg". In both files, put this information, but change the file paths to point to your normal UO install or your shard install, as appropriate:
Create the 2 files as described in this thread:

Double clicking the appropriate file will allow you to switch between whichever version of UO you want, so you can have a separate client installs for your shard and for regular UO.
The thing is, the UO client (no matter which version you use, and no matter where the client.exe is located) will always read its installation path from these values in the registry. All these files do is update the system registry with whatever file path for UO you want to use.
