Ok....I downloaded the Obsidian Intaller, installed it, went to go play it, and I got the same damn error that is in all the posts. I have spent 5 hours reading all of the posts, trying the little troubleshooting tips that everyone has put out there, and even downloaded a fixed patch updater. Yet I am still sitting here posting on a support forum for the same issue that I had before I sat down for an excruciating dinner filled with shakes and seizuristic jolts. I've come to the conclusion that downloading the patches and manually installing them myself is the best route to take. Ahhhh, but here we go, there is no downloads section to this website. Fancy that ":)! If anyone can REALLY help, let me know. Thanks! I'm going to rest my eyes. *peace*

MANUAL PATCHES

There're a bunch of links to them in posts, I don't see how you could've
missed it if you read all of them..

And what is that "same damn error that is in all the posts" exactly, might
I inquire? If it ain't a big secret of course.

I am referring to the error "updater has encountered a problem and needs to shut down." Secondly, I said that I have tried all of the little troubleshooting tips that have been thrown out there. This includes the links. Thanks!

By the way, thanks for the link. I will try it out when I get home from work. Thanks again!

See which one is giving you problems in patcher, extract it to obsi dir, run
it (won't give you any messages, so don't freak out), start patcher again
to see if there's another one causing trouble.

The only time I had to do this method, I just opened each patch in the folder and success!

I DID THIS AND I STILL GET THE 303 PATCH ERROR... IVE RE INSTALLED AND PATCH THE GAME MANUALY TO MY OBSI DIRECTORY BUT THE PROBLEM STILL THERE... PLS ELP..!!!

Have you tried to open all the manual patches (there should be 12 of them) ?

Be sur to uncompress in the Obsidian folder, for example "C:\Games\Obsidian" and not a sub-folder (C:Games\Obsidian\patch)

Or you can try uninstalling and installing UO again. There should be a trick because the manual patching worked for me.

btw, what OS are you using ? Vista or XP ?

Vista looks good but does not work well with Obs. I would say it's a failed platform like Windows ME but nothing could be that bad.

How many staff does it take to screw in a light bulb?

One to script it.
One to debug it.
One to place it.
One to take the player pages bitching about it.
One to tell the others that they got it all wrong.

well I have no idea what I managed to do reformatted the other day and finally have some time for obs....but then 303 wouldn't patch right so i manually did it but now i get a series of errors:

MMF error
MMF error
UOReport::fatal::

so I have no idea how i managed to muss things up this time

I game on Ubuntu!

Sounds like just corrupt install, it does that sometimes. Re-install. .NET FW
is fine as you were getting Patch 303 error.
