"not enough memory" error in UO Steam

Because the UO client only uses the first two mb of virtual memory, this along with UO Steam can prevent your client from opening if you have other programs open at the same time. Chrome is particularly bad for this, as is firefox and other browsers. If you receive a "not enough memory" error do not worry, just close out other opened programs and try launching UO Steam FIRST.

How to fix the "OpenGL" error

1. Go to Device Manager
2. Expand the option Display adapters and locate the graphics device you have
3. In Driver tab, choose the option Update Drive
4. Then choose Search automatically for updated driver software
5. Wait for a couple of seconds for the latest driver Windows update could find to install for you

Other Fixes:

Problem: Windows automatically updated the graphics driver, and Chrome stopped working with an OpenGL ES Error dialog box stating "Can't find the name of the Intel ICD OpenGL driver."

Fix: I rolled back the driver from 21.20.16.4574 to 20.19.15.4454 and it fixed the issue.

Problem: I have a 64 bit system but am running a 32 bit version of Chrome (which I use because the 64 bit version is incompatible with other software I use. Chrome is the program that originally gave me the error.

Fix: Update your browser or change browser. It also may be that running 32 bit programs on a 64 bit system causes the problem with this driver

Last thing to try:

Have you checked if the issue persists with the latest driver version .4590? https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/26836?v=t

Lag Issues

Leatrix Latency

This is a possible fix for "lag" and slow connections

What does it do?

Leatrix Latency Fix will reduce your Ultima Online latency significantly by increasing the frequency of TCP acknowledgements sent to the game server. For the technically minded, this is a script which will modify TCPAckFrequency.

The average reduction in latency (based on feedback from comments) is 66%

System Requirements

Leatrix Latency Fix is supported on these operating systems only.

Windows XP (SP2 or higher)
Windows Vista (SP1 or higher)
Windows 7

Both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows are supported.

How It Works

Leatrix uses the TCP protocol which requires that network segments sent to your computer be acknowledged in order to provide a reliable connection.

Windows bundles these acknowledgements together and sends them in pairs. While this is an efficient way of dealing with them generally, the inevitable delays caused by the bundling process increase latency considerably.

This is because when Windows queues up an acknowledgement in order to bundle it with the following one, the game server has to wait for the acknowledgement timer to expire before sending new data.

Leatrix Latency Fix removes the acknowledgement bundling process so that an acknowledgement is sent immediately for every segment that's received. This produces a significant reduction in latency as there is no longer a delay before new data is sent to your computer.

In a normal networking environment, you would prioritize network efficiency over latency and use the Windows defaults, but in mmorpg games the opposite is true and you want the lowest latency you can possibly get.
