Anything you find suspicious, things that crash your client, things that crash the server, anything that doesnt work as it should.

Expatcher.exe Problems

Post by Waron »

Hi friends!

There is a problem when following instructions on the page:
https://www.uoex.net/codex/technical/patching
Patching
Why patching?
Patching your client is highly recommended to play on Excelsior. Without the proper up-to-date patch, you won't be able to see the custom buildings, items, mounts and colors.

If you already have the prepatched bundle:
- Run the "Expatcher.exe" file in the folder to check for updates.

If you don't have the prepatched bundle:
1. Download latest version of Expatcher.
2. Put it in your UO directory and run.

Or - you can download the pre-patched bundle from this page: Quick start
1. When running "Expatcher.exe" it shows an error. (see the attached screenshot)
error log file:
System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found.
at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetResponse()
at Expatcher.Tools.GetHttpString(String method, String address, Byte[] postData)

at System.Threading.ExecutionContext.Run(ExecutionContext executionContext, ContextCallback callback, Object state, Boolean preserveSyncCtx)
at System.Threading.ExecutionContext.Run(ExecutionContext executionContext, ContextCallback callback, Object state)
at System.Threading.ThreadHelper.ThreadStart()
2. When trying go to the link on cite:
1. Download latest version of Expatcher.

Hey, thanks for the detailed report. This became an issue after we switched to HTTP protocol, I'll fix this as soon as I can. There are currently no patches out there (or scheduled in the near future) so as long as you have the "Expatch 12", you're all up to date.
