How to Install Ultima Online on Linux

Downloading Ye Olde Sphere Client

You will need to download the zipped client files from the Ye Olde Sphere's downloads page.

Extract these files to a desired location.

Classic UO is an open source Ultima Online client that runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux.

To play without using wine or other virtualisation options, download the Classic UO files from their main page.

Extract these files to another desired location.

Setting up a profile in Classic UO let's you connect to Ye Olde Sphere. To begin, press the gears next to the drop down menu.

Start by adding a new profile, and calling it whatever you want. "Ye Olde Sphere" is a good, memorable choice.

Under "Server IP", type or copy in the following:

yeoldesphere.com

The "Port" is:

2593

Under "UO path" browse to the folder where you extracted the YeOldeSphere.zip files from earlier.

Doing this will give you an error. For now, just ignore it.

Lastly, type in the "Client version":

7.0.20.0

Doing so should remove the error that was given earlier.

Save the profile, and the client is now ready to launch.

If you don't hear the music in your game, make sure that the folder music under the game files is renamed to Music .

The reason for this is how Classic UO, at the time of writing, is case sensitive in how it looks for this folder.
