Maybe not for long.

UU itself doesn't require a CD, it's the sp.dll causing that. If you can find a Uru CC no-cd patch, the sp.dll from it might work. I don't know though. I never tried that. Don't overwrite the UruExplorer.exe though.

It works great! Thanks!

I've got another bug with my Until Uru patched installation. I thought I'd just post it here rather than start a new thread. Teledahn's telescoping solar power device isn't working. When I line the viewfinder up with the sun, the screws turn once and then quit. The brake levers are both in the correct position. This is a new game started within this installation, not copied from another installation. The only editing done past installing the UU patch has been replacing the sp.dll file and changing the SDL variable in Garrison to activate the wall.

Is this a known bug? Any help?

Yes, the real sun that makes the power come on is never in the same place as the sun you see... You'll need the updated UruExplorer.exe for UU... It's from March 2006.

I had forgotten about this bug! Ah, the memories.

I can't seem to find this one. Can you point me in the right direction? Thanks.

The Guild of Artisans have a web server that seems open to the whole universe. Try here:
http://guildofartisans.org/uu/?C=S;O=D

Make a backup of your old file first.
Lots of interesting files on that server. Recent, too. A good Blender model of Kerath's Arch.

Thank you, Tsar Hoikas. Thank you, Chacal. Your help is greatly appreciated.

I received my copy of Uru: Ages Beyond Myst today and now I have another question! (Didn't see that one coming, did you! :roll: ) In ABM, is there a way to launch the Uru Setup (Single Player) without using uru.exe? ABM's UruExplorer.exe and UruSetup.exe both launch Uru Live's Uru Setup and it begins checking for updates. Thanks again.
