I made macros and put stuff on the desk top. When I logged out and in, they were all gone....

My macros stayed, but the spells i put on the desktop did not.

The client is running from a window.

What do you think is downloading? Diablo 4 game files?

Please comprehend what someone wrote before you reply and make a fool of yourself daily.

Anyone try this on a tablet yet?

I messed around with it earlier, as mentioned before the sound was glitchy so i turned it off.

i appreciated the smooth transitions and extra FPS, and that you can adjust the rate. For fun I jacked it up to 200+. My laptop started screaming and I froze so I dialed it back down.

Still playing with the new gumps, but also liked the in game map.

Couldn’t get the hot bar to pull up but I didn’t mess with it long enough to make sure it wasn’t user error.

Some thoughts after several hours with the new client:
1) There needs to be a desktop version--playing in a browser window is cumbersome.
2) The new client lacks so many basic features of the classic client, what exactly are we gaining?
3) The new client lacks some of the most important UOAssist features especially in the agents area.
4) Every time I loaded into the game it was a seemingly different version. Sometimes there was a map sometimes not, sometimes my hotkeys were there sometimes they were not, etc.

I tried it on a Fire tablet but the version of "chrome" they use is incompatible with the game. it let me download the assets but it wouldn't run, got an error. I may try my wifes ipad next. got to find it though lol

agreed!!

Huh??

3) The new client lacks some of the most important UOAssist features especially in the agents area.

Like what?

4) Every time I loaded into the game it was a seemingly different version. Sometimes there was a map sometimes not, sometimes my hotkeys were there sometimes they were not, etc.

agreed...it wasn't tested with retail servers EVER, it works fine on free shards.

I'm not sure you looked through hotkeys/macros tbh

We can't even keep the forum working correctly or the uo.com home page are we really supposed to have faith the team can keep this running??I think our hopes were that the classicUO people would be involved...

I had the same problem, it was the main bug I encountered. No macros saving after log out or close the browser window. The other major bug was the black screen when you log back in. I think they may be related but not sure 100%. I tried Chrome and MS Edge and they both had the same issues.

@LilyGrace got the black screen bug also.

Having played EC for many years I'd forgotten how terrible the CC can be other than some art work the EC just far superior o just don't understand the insanity of adding yet another client or the years wasted on NL or why the contest winners don't have banners yet...

Quick question for you both. are you running as admin when you start your browser? My macros are saving and i'm not getting a black screen. My only issue is the spells not staying on the desktop and my world map wasn't working, but ithe map started working a little bit ago so i'm down to the spells.

I wasn't using admin mode, but now that you mention it, I tried it and still had the same problems on MS Edge. I'm going to try chrome proper, and I will comment again if that solves it. Otherwise it's not looking so good.

I only ask because i have my Chrome set to do that and i get the macro to save, they were even there when i opened Edge later.

I tried it (Admin mode) on both Chrome and MS Edge, and neither took to saving the macros.

I also tried disabling adblock and norton safeweb, and that also didn't help.

rob0 · October 12

Got an error that it's not supported on the base install for firefox, it recommended chrome 121.

I updated chrome to the latest version and uninstalled all my browser extensions.

The only progress that I've made is I can log out via paperdoll button, and when I log back in I can manually pull the macros profile from the top icon on the right hand side.

But if I log out and close the browser and then come back in, it doesn't keep the saved macros.

It's saving my login though, and the setting on the login screen to disable music.

I'm wondering if it might help to have the ClassicUO native client installed. That might work. I just don't want to be 'caught' using unauthorized softwares.

It does the same thing with the classic client, if u do new macros or moving thing on the UI and hard shut your game (instead of log out/paperdoll) everything gonna be lost.

Yes I was logging out by the paperdoll, and then closing the browser/client. Still did not save the macros.

I did figure out, I cleaned my browser history, and enabled cookies and tracking on MS Edge, and it finally allows me to log out and close the browser while saving the macros. I guess they use trackers and cookies to save that info

But I still have the blank screen when I log in, need to open the options and click on the frame rate slider to re open the game play window, and then set up my various gumps... However not as much of a PITA as needing to set all my macros every time.

Even if it works perfectly it doesn't work to stop the cheating it doesn't upgrade the actual cc at all it just adds something for supposedly overwhelmed team to keep working correctly what's the point..

KroDuK · October 12

I wonder if @Lord_Nythrax did the switch from the CUO client to the web browser experience.

Trolling aside.. i'm curious about your opinion on what is actually happening.

@rob0 yeah, was saying at first, when u couldn't use the paperdoll it make total sense.. now u can load back your profile if your not closing the browser.. (losing the "link")

I thought the assets would be install in your UO folder and save those macros on your PC.. i'd look for those new installed files on my PC and try to fix the link between the web browser and those files; usually user right, but u fix it with the admin stuff.

If you are going from *** to the Web Based CUO, you are going backwards (due to extra "functionality"). It could only be worth it if absolutely everyone is doing it, to give it a certain fairness. Losing the functionality is painful to be fair.

If you are going from Classic Client, or Enhanced Client, it is a step forwards, however, there seem to be a few bugs (as mentioned), these do need to be smoothed out. Then honestly, I would open up more options. Then honestly - I would open up even more options...

The other issue, the web based browser can be a winner for a lot of players, in a lot of scenarios, but many of us like the desktop client, it works well for us.

My personal opinion is, for New Legacy, the web based CUO client can make playability quite nice for those players, and they should enforce play on that Shard.
My other opinion is, they should let players play how they want on main Production shards.

I cant tell, it says admin and user.

Today it was bad, I just opened 1 account, it would not save macros or desktop. It logged in as a black screen multiple times. I played with the profile section. The profile would not save. Music would sound crappy. Wont be using it for NL launch.

I don't think it uses the files from my UO macros folder. The fact that the strange behaviour stopped happening when I enabled tracking/cookies suggests to me that they would be saved in the metadata of the browser. But I don't want to mess with it to see, now that it's finally working.

To know if it is, you will get this screen when you start it.

I did go in and disable the ad-blocker, enabled popup, etc for that page and it appears to be saving my desktop and the map loads every time, not to mention the macros still save.

@Oreogl still haven't found the Ipad, it's an old one so i doubt it will download a usable version of Chrome. I'll let you know though.

If you are going from Orion

Bra.. your not Nythrax... I asked him cuz he was very pump with the idea of a mainstream CUO and he has experience with it, i'm very curious about HIS opinion here..

In your case, I already get it; you lack the skill to play a mid tier game without your little fully automated wheel and refuse to put the effort required (not talented, motivated nor strong enough to be legit).. the only thing that would make you happier than botting, is if the designer ruin UO even more on the long run with OP BIS perfect suit.

Your a league of trolls player; that can't get pass the gold ranking, wich is why u prefer botting and cheating on UO.

My quote is where i stop reading you.. The dev should do the opposite of the majority of the stuff your asking, if they want to make UO great again.

PS: I can already predict the rest of your message; short sight vision & selfish, while promoting cheating.. same old.
