Unnerved by the resolution restriction of the old 2D Client, I tried to connect to my current freeshard of choice, by configuring a custom free shard in the GUI Menu, as
- server: sphere.alathair.de
- port: 2593
(Checked this data several times to be sure)

The login fails, giving the console messages
Code:
initializing packets for 6.0.1.7 or later
Account_Login_Failed 4 communications failed
disconnect
In the client itself only the second line showed up as a popup.

Trying to login to the other servers listed in the client, where I don't have an account, I did at least get a "wrong username/password"-response.

Using the default client distributed by the shard patcher worked just fine.

What could be the reason?

By the way, the server doesn't show up in ./config/shards if configured in the GUI, and doesn't show up in the GUI if configured by copying and modifying one of the files from ./config/shards.

The server should run on sphere 0.51, though I'm not sure about that.

I'm using the latest stable version of iris from the mainpage.

probably the clientversion. either a older or a newer version is required.

the xml when created from the gui will be placed under your C:/documents and settings/username/.iris/
or something like that.

you can try adding a line

<string key="gClientVersion">5.0.8.0</string>

or

<string key="gClientVersion">7.0.6.5</string>

to make iris behave like different versions.

which version is shown on the login screen of the original client that works ?

The version shown in the original client is 4.0.0c (2D Client).

I tried adding that line to my C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Roaming\.iris\config\shards\Alathair.xml under <table> and to my C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Roaming\.iris\config\config.xml under <table key=globals>, neither helped - it's still the same error message. I also tried the version numbers 4.0.0 and 4.0.0c, didn't help either.

Just for reference, my config files now look like this:

config.xml
Code:
<table>
    <table key="globals">
        <boolean key="gbGrabInput">true</boolean>
        <boolean key="gEnableBloomShader">true</boolean>
        <boolean key="gbHideMouse">true</boolean>
        <boolean key="gUseMusic">false</boolean>
        <boolean key="gPreloadStaticMesh">false</boolean>
        <boolean key="gUseCaelumSkysystem">true</boolean>
        <string key="gGfxConfig_RenderSystem">Direct3D9 Rendering Subsystem</string>
        <boolean key="gUseDistanceFog">true</boolean>
        <boolean key="gUseWaterShader">true</boolean>
        <string key="gGfxConfig_Resolution">1680 x 1050</string>
        <string key="gClientVersion">7.0.6.5</string>
    </table>
</table>

shards\alathair.xml
Code:
<table>
    <number key="gLoginServerPort">2593</number>
    <string key="gLoginname">******</string>
    <string key="gPassword">******</string>
    <string key="gLoginServerIP">sphere.alathair.de</string>
    <string key="gClientVersion">4.0.0</string>
</table>

hmm, 4.0.0 is rather old,
iris definitely can't handle pre 4.0 but i thought 4.0 and later could work.
No time to fix old protocol though, sorry.

Can you connect to you shard with a more recent original client ?

I got myself a client supposed to be version 6. In my installation of UO modains legacy it claims not to find map1.mul and some further files. Can't patch UO-ML either to get a higher version - seems not to want a patch. Thus I can't try that at all.

Also using the original 3d client (uotd.exe) it tells me that my login credentials were invalid - even though the binary contains a "login.cfg"-string, so I suppose it does use that file as well.
