The normal solution with deleting transerv.exe and speech.mul - then restarting your client - sometimes doesn't work.

I've even experienced this with people with the same client as mine, and it's quite frustrating.

Right now I'm using 3.0.8q - what would you suggest as the perfect client to avoid the speechbug (preferable not a 4.x.x as the status bar looks like some a 5 year old drew).

Any input is appreciated

As far as I know, the only bug is with speech.mul, and deleting that file takes care of it. I'm afraid I can't help you any further with that.

for 2D clients at v3.x, you just simply delete/rename the file to something other than speech.mul

4.x Clients are freaky. I've found that some are causing massive problems with freezing (like 4.0.0l), so I am suggesting 4.0.0b since it crashes *less often* for me... and I do believe, that just simply deleting the speech.mul will work. Unless you are using Unicode... then I have no clue

3D clients, just don't work. I have yet to find a solution to 3D clients and speech.mul for any version of it. I don't even think POLHook as found a solution to that, as Folko doesn't have 3D installed to work on it

You need to crack the client with UO rice, then set the POL client as ignition.
Finally you need to delete speech.mul

Hope this helps
