UO.com - FYI - Origin to Receive Publish 42 Update

On Tuesday, August 29, 2006, at approximately 7:00pm PDT (August 30 - 2:00AM GMT), we will be deploying a Publish 42 update to the Origin shard.

The update will contain the following changes to Publish 42:

* Fixed an issue that could cause a server to crash
* Cannons placed in a house will no longer display a cliloc error on their Vet Reward property
* Fixed some older vet rewards, such as statues, furniture dye tubs, and black dye tubs so that they would not have cliloc errors. (This may temporarily prevent accounts that aren’t old enough to claim a specific reward from using that reward, even where this is not intended to be the case.)
* Fixed a bug that allowed players to recharge the cannon and keep their potion keg
* Hit leech procs no longer make a sound effect
* Fixed some of the logic in the change to hit leech procs to work more accurately
* Hit procs now take SSI into account
* Bandage macros now check to see if bandage is within reach of player
* Evasion’s weapon skill check now ignores Mage Weapon and UBWS
* Skill jewelry does not count towards the Evasion weapon skill requirement
* Moved Vet Rewards into better categories in the Vet Reward choice gump
* Statues no longer show their name when players walk past them
