Windows: The New UO:R Launcher (Recommended)

The easiest and most reliable way to play on Windows is via the official **UO:R Launcher**. It automatically downloads, patches, and updates ClassicUO, Razor, and game files for you.

1. Download the Launcher:
   • Download UORLauncher.exe (Official)
2. Install & Run:
   • Run UORLauncher.exe (right-click and select "Run as administrator" if prompted).
   • The launcher will download the necessary client files, verify your installation, and keep your game up to date automatically.
3. Launch the Game:
   • Click Play to launch ClassicUO with Razor pre-configured to connect to play.uorenn.com:2593.

Upgrading from an older installation? If you have custom Razor macros or hotkeys from a prior installation, back up your Razor profile files before installing the new launcher.

Linux Setup (Steam & Proton 11)

Playing UO:Renaissance on Linux (including Steam Deck, Ubuntu, Arch, Fedora, etc.) is seamless when running the game through Steam with Proton. The game installs and runs perfectly out of the box with no complex tweaks required.

Installation Steps:

1. Download UORLauncher.exe from the official download link.
2. Open **Steam** on your Linux desktop.
3. In the bottom-left corner of the Steam client, click **"Add a Game"** → **"Add a Non-Steam Game..."**.
4. Browse to your downloaded UORLauncher.exe and click **"Add Selected Programs"**.
5. In your Steam Library, right-click **UORLauncher** and select **Properties...**.
6. In the left sidebar of the Properties window, click **Compatibility**.
7. Check the box labeled:

   "Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool"

8. From the dropdown menu, select **Proton 11 (Beta)** (or the latest Proton 11 release).
9. Click **Play** in Steam.

The launcher will initialize, download the game files, and run ClassicUO with high performance and full audio support!

Essential ClassicUO Features & Settings

ClassicUO provides a modern engine experience while maintaining 100% era accuracy. Here are the most important settings to configure upon first launching:

Display & FPS

• Open **Options** (Alt + O) in game and navigate to the **Video / General** tab.
• FPS Cap: Set to match your monitor refresh rate (60 Hz, 144 Hz, or Unlimited) for ultra-smooth movement.
• Game Window Size: ClassicUO allows you to freely resize the game viewport or run in fullscreen without distorting classic sprites.
• Zoom: Use your mouse scroll wheel (or hold Ctrl + Scroll) to zoom your camera in or out dynamically.

Quality of Life Options

• Health Bars: Enable status bars for yourself, party members, and pets that can be dragged out and locked onto the screen.
• Grid Containers: Allows viewing backpack contents in an organized grid view rather than free-form scatter.
• Smooth Movement: Ensures character running and mount animations render smoothly across the screen.

Razor Assistant Setup & Hotkeys

Razor is embedded directly alongside the client to assist with targeting, macro automation, and hotkey management.

Essential Hotkeys Every Player Should Set:

• Bandage Self: Under the Hotkeys → Targets tab, bind a key (e.g. [~] or [F1]) to **"Bandage Self"**.
• Target Nearest Enemy: Under Hotkeys → Targets, bind a key to **"Target Nearest → Mobile → Monster"** for PvM, or **"Enemy → Humanoid"** for PvP.
• Drink Potions: Under Hotkeys → Potions, set hotkeys for:
  • Drink Cure
  • Drink Heal
  • Drink Refresh
• Cast Spell & Last Target: Streamline casting spells like Greater Heal or Lightning by binding hotkeys that cast the spell and immediately execute your target.
