• Notes: This patch was reverted the next day with the following note:
  "Because the recent UO client patch 2.0.0f required that many of our customers download DirectX 7 and new sound card drivers without sufficient warning, we have determined it necessary to revert the patch. The patch revert process will work in the same way as a regular client patch, except the patched files will be replaced with the previous versions. We will be re-releasing the client patch 2.0.0f at a later date with specific instructions about any additional downloads from other sources that may be required."
  The reversion patch was labeled "2.0.0e1," and reverted the client back to Client Patch 2.0.0e.

Patch Notes

We have released a client patch to address crash issues related to mage hats. Additionally, this patch updates support for DirectX 7.0. If you do not have DirectX 7.0 installed on your computer, you will be unable to hear sound effects and music unless you upgrade your DirectX version. You may download the correct version at http://www.microsoft.com/directx/homeuser/downloads/default.asp.

If you have any difficulty receiving this patch, please check the following:

• Check the "Patch" directory within your Ultima Online directory (the default location is C:\\Program Files\Ultima Online\Patch). This directory should be empty. Any files in this directory should be deleted.
• If you are unable to connect to the patch server at all, and are using an original (Non-T2A) version of Ultima Online, you may need to update your verinfo file. For details on updating this file, please see the information posted at http://support.uo.com/tech_6.html.
• Run a virus scan on your computer. Undetected viruses may cause conflicts with patching Ultima Online. For information on up-to-date virus detection software, please visit http://www.hitchhikers.net/antivirus/antivirus-dis.phtml.

If after trying the above, you are still experiencing difficulty patching the Ultima Online client, please contact Technical Support at tech@uo.com.
