Supported Client Versions Generally speaking, the latest publicly available version of the UO client is always preferable when connecting to a UOX3 shard.
In those cases where updates to the client are destructive for normal gameplay on your UOX3 shard, either because of changed client functionality or because it simply doesn't like UOX3, warnings will be posted in the forums not to run the UO patcher until those issues have been fixed.
Making a backup of your client.exe before any patching progress is, in any case, highly advisable.
Encryption Info Since UOX3 does not accept incoming connections from encrypted UO clients, you must find a way of removing the encryption from the client before you can login. To do that, you can use one of the many tools that exist for just this purpose.
UOGateway is one such program, and is the one recommended for use with UO clients connecting to UOX3 shards. It removes the encryption at run-time only, and does not alter your default UO client permanently in any way.
