build 981available, don’t seem to be able to find readme or change log on the site to see what’s been changed. Bit difficult to follow development without them.

Also Iris2 works only on free shards apparently (their description is bit confusing and contradictory to say the least) :

“Moreover, being compatible with standard UO game servers, the player is not limited to play with only users of Iris but may also seamlessly interact with players using standard 2d clients.”

“Actually, Iris is developed and tested to work on RunUO driven custom shards, but there are quite a lot of other emulators working (for example Sphere, POL, UOX). Support for official game servers is neither possible nor planned for the future.”

Why on earth didn’t they simply change the last sentence in the first paragraph instead of adding the second paragraph is beyond my understanding.

I downloaded the 3D client and ran the install, but it said the file was not complete. Either the file is corrupt, or it does not work with Windows Vista.

Because Iris2 is 3D and 2D. This only refears to which Renderer you prefer.

Iris2 is not supporting Encryption. Thats why you can’t use Iris2 with official OSI/EA servers!

Hint1:
You link to the current UO:ML version. This Version don’t have 3D granny models in it and so the 3D mode of Iris2 won’t work.

We have a list of (old) UO:ML download links on our Website. Please use this ones!

Hint2:
Iris1 (old Ultima Iris) is obsolete anyway. You should not link to it. Maybe only a link to the latest repository at berlios.

Again me: Forgot to say, that your Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 is also too old.

We currently use: MSVC++ 2008 Redist. (x86) and it’s only needed if you don’t have it already installed and if you use the ZIP archive.

Thanks
