Manual installation

Migrate from a CUO installation (Keep your settings and profile data) (Click here)

Installation is easy:

ℹ️ If you used the updater to install TUO, skip to step 3

1. Downloaded the latest release

   You need the TazUO.zip file from that release.

2. Create a folder where you want TUO installed, for example Documents/TazUO

3. Unzip the ClassicUO.zip file you downloaded in step 1 into the folder you created in step 2

4. Copy your old settings.json and /Data/ folder from your old CUO install into your new directory

       These can usually be found under ClassicUO/ClassicUO/
            You can right click the ClassicUO shortcut on your desktop and hit "Open file location" for easier access.

       You may need to edit settings.json and update your ultimaonlinedirectory location.

       You can skip this step(3) if you don't want your old settings and profiles(macros/gumps/spell bars/etc) copied over.

5. Run ClassicUO.exe in your new directory!

Your finished directory should look something like this(with a few more files than this):
