Patching to 5.0.6.c

[GhostRiderGrey]

Initial patching does stop early. That is normal. After you try to run the game the first time it will continue patching and then fail on 5.0.6d (that is what you want it to do) - but 5.0.6c will be intact. Don't delete the 5.0.6d read-only RTP! If you do, the game will be able to patch beyond where you want it to. Just leave it sitting in the UO patch folder.

Then try logging in via ConnectUO. You will want to use ConnectUO to log in, as this allows you to get the shard patch (which is different than the UO patch for the game which you did above).

Good Luck.

The patch "helper" file basically creates a blank file for the patch just after 5.0.6c, effectively stopping the process exactly where you want to be.

The file in the Zip is called uoml_win32_5-0-6d.rtp.

However, if you install from another source, this file could have a slightly different name. For example, I used the Age of Shadows install CD so my file had to be named aos2d_win32_5-0-6d.rtp

If your patch doesn't stop where it should, look inside the Patch directory while the patching process is running. Make a note of the file naming convention it's using and alter the name of your blank file accordingly.
