UO Client Patches

[critic]

I wonder if theres a way of collecting the RTP patches sent by the ultima autopatch program, and applying them manually? I notice they drop to the patch folder, but then are instantly applied and deleted.

It would be nice to be able to back them up, so when installing on another machine you dont have to download them all again

Also it would mean you could patch up to the best working version for free shards, and would stop you being forced to latest version in the event origin bring out a patch incompatible with RunUO etc.

Any ideas, thx.

1) RunUO will always support the current version
2) RunUO needs the current version to work without any issues
3) Razor has support to display the old status gump, if thats the only reason you don't want to upgrade
4) I don't think this is possible, thus points 1 and 2 are a non-issue.

Back in the grayworld/tus days i would unplug the internet connection after a specifac patch so it wouldnt get the next one. Then just cut and paste that client out of my UO folder and keep it for logging into the shard. As stated above though there is no reason to do this with RunUO.

That method, now, would also very likely cause UO not to work properlly in some cases, as the Client.exe EXPECTS certain other files to contain certain data... It doesn't find it, and you'd be SOL.
