Either my computer sucks, or there's something wrong with my UOAssist.

Anytime i try and gate/recal to Hemi's Umbra shop or Lord Ulyses shop, my computer crashes and it goes onto the blue screen.
This sometimes happens when I forget that that's what will happen. It happened just now because I forgot. Usually all I have to do, is restart my computer, get into a normal position without UOAssit, then start using it again, and its fine.

However, today, I loaded it back up after it crashed without UOAssist, and it went onto the AoS start-up, at this point I was slightly confused, but I carried on into the game. I logged onto my character, and my screen with small, my Paperdoll, bag and map were not open, and i had pathfinding and music on (which i had turned off). I decided that it just a little glitch so i restarted my computer and started again.

This time I used UOAssit because I was in a safe area, now I just cannot do anything. All I can see is me, people and buildings. I cant see anything in my pack, nothing on the floor, and anything I try and click or hover over to see the names, it just doesn't show their names.

Sorry for the long-winded explanation, but I will re-instal my UO to sort out this problem, and if it doesn't work...well Ill cross that bridge when I come to it. Sorry to have wasted a valuable 10 mins of your time, and I hope to see you in-game sometime in the weekend.

Cheers,

Just make sure you remove all the temp files and cache files after removed UO as they might sometimes corrupt (best would be to remove the whole UO folder after the uninstallation) sounds like you got a few corrupt .mul files, some corrupt character saved files etc...  Grin

Ack! I've just started patching already.

Ah well if it doesn't work this time then I'll try removing those temp files that you speak of. Thanks for the advice Rupert.
