If you use KR, change these settings to get the most out of the client... Especially the frame rate increase at the bottom. MASSIVE improvement.

Go to the menu and select User Settings.
In User Settings under the Graphics tab:
• Use Fullscreen (seems to run better for me and stable)
Petra Fyde suggests using Windowed mode but with Show Frames - OFF. Give that a try if you can't use or don't like the Full Screen mode.
• un-select the Show Shadows (huge performance gain for my computer)
• Use Legacy Art
• No Idle Animation – check or change to Minimal for best performance (options are Full, No Fidget, Limited, Minimal or Off when No Idle Animation is checked)
• Particle Detail, change to Medium or even Low.
• MOB Animation Cache (MB) change to 70 (Min 8, Max 128 – Reports vary with some suggesting 40 as best performance)
• Disk Cache (MB) change to 128 (Min 8, Max 256)
• Minimum Free System Memory (MB) change to 5 (Min 5, Max 128)
Next, under the Options tab, make sure the option is selected for "Always show Health, Mana, and Stamina." It’s a very nice feature of KR, but has nothing to do with performance.
Click Apply or Okay to save the changes and you are done.
Change the video Frame Rate
This one should be an option in User Settings, but isn’t.
Edit the UserSettings document with Notepad:
Go to Documents\EAGames\Ultima Online\User Data\
and right click on the file UserSettings.XML and select Open with Notepad. Edit line 15 that says <Framerate max="30" /> to say <Framerate max="60" /> . All you will be changing is the framerate from 30 to 60 frames per second. Save the file and you are done. KR animation should run smoother than before and look less fuzzy.
