Grey screen on launch (Not Responding)

Slice N Dice

It's been doing this everytime I've tried to launch today. I can't get on and nothing on my computer has changed.
Any idea what could be going on??
Anyone else getting this?

This just happened to me. Downloaded and re-installed the client. No change. Any one got any ideas?


Dear future readers directed here from Google,

Let the game screen load for five or ten minutes. My UO screen was grey, so I left for a few minutes and ate dinner. When I came back I was able to log in and turtle slap some monsters.

I guess resetting your router wont hurt, but I'm doubtful that it'll help.

Mine used to freeze up on launch each time I loaded it. After re-installation, the problem persisted.

Frustrated, I let the frozen grey screen hang on my computer and went out to dinner. When I returned the game had loaded and I was able to log in.

The game has worked correctly ever since.

He already posted in another thread that that fixed it. Its a DNS resolution issue after the router cache gets full.

My client just did the grey lock out. I am only having issues here, the rest of my internet connection is fully functional. I'm going to step out of the room and reset my router. I'll post with an update in just a second.

Ok. So, first off, when the client goes grey like it is, I have an extremely difficult time shutting it down even when using the task manager. This time, for instance, required I reboot my whole computer.


Either way, after a computer reboot and a router/modem reset, my client still turns grey on launch and I cannot reach the log in screen. I'm going to let the screen hang like this for a few minutes while I go read the baby a night time story and see if it launches.

That may well have been the problem. I am playing now, I turned my computer off for the night and came back the next day and it worked.

Thanks for the input
