Sometimes you might need to have a fresh install of Ultima Online. This could be for reasons such as you cannot see new tiles even tho you are fully patched or you seem to be crashing alot or many other reasons.
According to UO, you will uninstall UO. Make sure any desktop or task bar icons are deleted and go into you C: and make sure you game folder is gone. Now the most important 2 steps follow. Second, you will run a ScanDisc and Third, Defragment. Only after you have done all of this should you install Ultima again. This will guarentee there will be no pieces of old install still hanging around. Personally if I am having to reinstall Uo I will also be getting a new install of UO Steam. Like UO make sure all icons are deleted and the Steam folder is deleted. But before you do that I highly recommend you read the forum on how to save your Steam macros and hotkeys to a new install. Good Luck!
I think in this way, I want to try to find the information I find.
