    Issues in Windows XP

    in Technical Support

    Not media center. Just plain Windows XP Pro with SP3. And to be honest, the system was perfectly fine and stable before.

    Still "no dll".

    You're not using any intel-specific optimizations / instruction sets, are you? (Such as SSE2) This is running an AMD Athlon XP 1600 CPU.
    We need some way to debug this... some kind of way to catch were and why it's failing to load. Event viewer yields nothing.

    Reinstalled Windows XP from scratch. Still "No DLL"... doesn't matter where or how I install the game, or how I launch it.
    Whatever is going on, it isn't my system. For some reason, PSOBB just isn't loading properly. I can get into the menu, enter my account details... but cannot connect of course.

    EDIT: Installed Schthack PSOBB on the system to see what would happen with theirs. Loads fine, DLL loads, everything loads, and can connect fine.

    Since I'm guessing the client dll for Ultima is made in Visual Studio 2015, it may be a shot in the dark, but could one of the devs check to see what the "Platform Toolset" is set to in the solution's settings? Might want to make sure it's one of the v###_xp variants.

    It is 32-bit. I can't even install 64-bit on here anyway, since it's not a 64-bit CPU.

    I am also using the latest drivers available for my hardware.

    Does it make any difference that I'm running Media Center Edition?

    Just recently, my Windows 10 gaming PC had died. So, I decided to install PSOBB on my older Windows XP machine. For some reason, the launcher doesn't seem to apply the resolution settings correctly (though all of the other settings apply no problem), also Virtual Fullscreen doesn't seem to work (might just be a limitation). However, the biggest problem is that the game fails to load the DLL. I get "No DLL" in the bottom-left corner when the game is running instead of the proper "Ultima ver 0.13", and I cannot connect / log in to the server. Just sits waiting at "Connecting to the server, please wait...".

    I used to be able to play this in XP, so I don't know what happened. Does the DLL have any external dependencies? Like any specific Visual C++ Runtimes, or anything of the sort?

    EDIT: This is a fresh install too. Using the latest installer from the site. Running on Windows XP SP3, fully updated... and running .NET framework 4.0.3 as well. Dunno if that helps.
