This is a guide on how to get yourself connected:
  1. Start by downloading the Classic Client from Mythic
  2. Next, pick your flavor of assistant (needed to decrypt the client for connecting):
    • UO Steam - Classic assistant with little to no support
    • Razor Enhanced (can also be used with ClassicUO)
    • ClassicUO - A modern client overlay for the Classic Client
    • UO Stealth - A headless client for automation
    • TazUO - A fork of the ClassicUO client, with far more features
    • MobileUO
  3. Install the Visual C++ Redistributable (x64 and x86)
  4. After everything is downloaded and installed, it's time to setup and connect!

  • Run the UOClassicSetup executable in your Downloads folder and you can select all the defaults for installation, or point it to your own folder
  • Then go to Start menu > search for Ultima Online > let the patching happen
    • If you can't find it there, open Explorer and navigate to the install directory (default is C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Ultima Online Classic\) and run either UO.exe or UOPatch.exe
  • That's it! The client is now ready to be used
  • Next is to install an assistant to decrypt the client connection
