If anyone has received this patch and needs to get back to their previous client version, they'll need to replace the 8 files that were updated by the patch.
Apparently, the problem this patch is causing is that this new patch encrypts the client in a way that the RunUO core doesn't understand so it disconnects the client. If you're not able to get the old files, the only 2 other options are: Wait a couple days and see if OSI issues an "oops we messed up patch" or reinstall UO.

It appears that OSI issued a patch with 4 digits. RunUO can only deal with 3. No way to know if OSI is trying to screw up the free shards or just a bone head move. I will be checking the RunUO forum very often for a fix. I am sure the brains there will figure it out very soon. But untill then, DO NOT PATCH.
If you have already, for sure take DG up on the offer for revert files. If needed, I can place the files on the Web server for a download place if we have for sure revert solution.

Thanks for the warning.
Haazen - I think this should temporarily be in big big letters on the load page of the ParadiseFoundUO.com website also. I normally go there 1st, then cruise the forums.
