May 18 2006 12:57AM GMT (PST +08:00)

Wednesday, May 17th, 2006 at 6:30PM PDT (May 18th 1:30AM GMT), we will deploy client patch 5.0.2b Details for the patch are as follows: TargetSelf will no longer show the targeting reticle if the targeting system has been disabled Previously targeted mobiles will no longer be re-targeted if they move off and back on the screen unless the player has not cleared his target Fixed an issue that was causing the target status gump to have a delay in updating when target was poisoned Fixed a bug that caused the target status gump to remain open after players killed certain creatures Put the % sign back on the end of the swing speed item property Fixed the Inform me of stat increases option, which was not staying on when it was checked Fixed the buff/debuff tool tip for the Protection spell Fixed targeting error messages that were not working correctly in Japanese Bump version letter to "b" Localization changes Fixed a targeting crash bug If patched correctly, your current version will display 5.0.2b for both clients. If you have any difficulty receiving this patch, please check the following: Check the "Patch" directory within your Ultima Online directory (the default location is C:\Program Files\EA Games\Ultima Online\Patch). This directory should be empty. Any files in this directory should be deleted. Run a virus scan on your computer. Undetected viruses may cause conflicts with patching Ultima Online. For information on up-to-date virus detection software, please visit http://www.mcafee.com/myapps/vso/default.asp. If after trying the above, you are still experiencing difficulty patching the Ultima Online client, please visit this web page.

Meh. Fixes are great of course but from a purely selfish point of view most of the work done of late does nothing for me since I use the 3D client (Boo! Hiss!).

Also since I PvP extremely rarely this latest pub really doesn't hold much interest... just waiting to get to do the new quest once the pub hits Europa, that's about it (I haven't read any spoilers about it so it'll hold that shiny newness feel for me).
