Lag out while moving paperdoll items.

[Nec]

A friend of mine can connect and enter the world, however it shows him as having nothing in his backpack, but his gold ammount says 1000 on his status bar. Also, when any object is moved from his paper doll (not onto it, but if it is already on it) he lags out and crashes. I would assume its a problem with his client but I was just wondering if anyone had any trouble like this and if there was something I could do serverside to prevent this. I'd appreciate any help that I could get or anyone with similar experiences or suggestions on how to fix it. He has tried the ML client and some client called UOGold.

I am heading to work right now so I wont be able to respond right away, if you could leave posts for me to check when I get back and test (if able to) I would appreciate it.

Thanks in advance, Nec.

Hi, Since your saying his backpack is saying it has gold or items in it once it does it what you can do to fix this is simply delete the backpack that you see on his paperdoll then add a new backpack and drag it to his paperdoll if your on a GM or higher access character.....

As for your other problem its probably 2 things i have seen before.....

1-Either its something with his client being maybe patched too old or too new or he has some other problem

2-The hues on his items that are on his paperdoll are causing this. Now this doesn't happen but sometimes it does. For example hue 16835 causes a client crash at times and once you try to drag or move the item from your paperdoll to your backpack or anywhere else it will crash your client.


I hope that helped a bit solving your problem.
Good luck!

Thanks alot for the reply. It turns out that he can't even do it on a lan server so it's something with his client. That doesn't concern me =P

Thanks for the suggestions though I will keep those in mind if something like that ever happens.

Hehe No Problem Maybe he should try fully uninstalling uo then reinstalling it.

Hi,

I'm the one with this problem. I was trying to figure it out before I posted so I could get more information. Basically, I've downloaded the mondain's legacy client and updated it fully. Reinstalling, didn't work. I downloaded UO:Gold client and updated it fully as well. Reinstalling, didn't work again. What's happening is, if I'm using razor it seems like 3/4 of the time I log onto his server...its like I never fully connect. I'll load up the game and my character, but then its like I get a weird lag where I can't move or do anything, but I could still see him typing. If I try to log in my own server, I can't get past this part at all, meaning I can't log onto my own server period.

When I am able to connect without the weird lag out, I can't unequip/equip any items nor see anything in my backpack. Removing and getting a new backpack does nothing and is moot anyway because I can't move anything to (or from) my new backpack in the first place, it causes me to do this lag out.

I tried using the playuo client and I don't have this problem at all, but for some reason it lags my computer horribly (even with uoloader), like it freezes for a second every 5 seconds. So, while that works, I really can't play using it. Any other ideas? Maybe get someone to send me their client.exe? I've never had this problem before.

Edit: I want to make clear that my client never crashes at all. Its a total lag out. The best way I can describe it is if you lose connection to the shard and you see your character in the middle of his animation, but frozen.

Like you said: patched up fully; that would be patch 6.0.1.7?

Read this tread: Patch 6.0.1.7

You should patch your client to exactly the patch that is used on the server ask Nec what version he is running on his server. Both the server and the client need to have the same view/definition off the world.

Okay thanks a lot. Dunno how I missed something like that. I basically havn't touched UO in years so I didn't know the latest patches from UO were causing problems, thanks again I'll give it a try.

this problem could also be due to hardware or PC problem.. I suggest to rule this out.. would be to check your eventlogs if your running 2k/xp/vista.

also running a virus scan on your system to rule out a virus wouldnt be a bad idea as well.. As far as free virus scanners/killers i recommend "Avast" virus checker. free to use ..free to register.. and updates rather often.

Above is just a few extra suggestions =)


P.s : might also be a good idea to run diskclean up and defrag ..specially if you havent done this in a while

[Melchior]

Don't worry about that. A lot of folks here found out the hard way (including me). It's not a big thing but do keep in mind that you should have (about) the same client version installed as the server is running. Good luck!

[dreamfire]

I honestly would rather think its a problem with my hardware or PC. I'm redownloading the client again and gonna reinstall and patch up to only the server's version he's running on, but I just don't have any of those problems listed in those threads you posted. I'm not missing any gumps, can use commands fine, and the maps look completely normal. Also it really doesn't make sense because it does this for my own server too (infact it's even worse on my own server.) I'll still try it, but I'm I really dunno how this'll go. Like I said, using the PlayUO client everything is normal..I just can't really play because its literally killing my computer with its random 1 second freezes for some reason..so maybe it is a PC problem somewhere.

As for viruses/spyware, I have none (I use avast like you recommended anyway) and I defrag maybe once a month. I'll post an update to the situtation once its done downloading and updating.


Edit: Well after not letting it even update near to completion, I decided to try it out and it worked just fine. So yeah, you were right Melchior. Thanks again
