Client Patch 3.04m

[Balandar]

We will be releasing a client patch on Tuesday, September 4th at approximately 10:00 AM. This patch is the same patch that was previously released and reverted on August 30th, and contains the following changes:

• 2D gameplay window can now be resized without restarting the client
  
• When in a party in 3D, the player's status bar will have heal/cure buttons
  
• Improvements to the "Last Shard Used" button functionality in the 3D client
  
• The character creation templates have been revamped
  
• Book crash fixed
  
• Players will not always be put in Britain when not using Advanced creation mode. They are put in a random starting city.
  
• Players will no longer be asked if they wish to proceed with criminal acts while in Trammel.
  
• New characters will now start with 80 stat points.
  
• Many crashes and other bugs have been addressed in this patch.
  

The current versions should now be 3.0.4m (2D client) and 3.0.4m Build 74 (3D client).

NOTE:  Windows 95 users that have not upgraded to Winsock 2 may receive the error “missing winsock32.dll”.  To fix this problem, these users should download and install the new version of Winsock, which can be found here.

Also important to note: Users attempting to log in while using UO Assist may receive the error "The IGR time limit has been met."  Until UO Assist is patched by Tugsoft (its parent company), players will need to log in without UO Assist.
