Thanks for that tidbit, and thanks to the original poster. Since merging the UF client on top of Titanium, I've had very few problems other than this one. I thought I had done a fairly thorough job of mopping up but failed to address this one specific file. The only problem I have left now is sometimes links are concatenated, but I've since learned that happens when someone creates them from a differing client (not sure anything can be done, but I'm too appreciative that this all works to really care).
Edit: I had a few different versions of this file. The one that ended up working best was 549KB. There is one that is slightly larger but apparently does not have info for the Drakkin race.
Re-edit: So this dbstr_us.txt still isn't good, and apparently it's supposed to be much larger than any I have. All my searching just leads to others referencing replacing this file with one from SoD+ but not where to actually get it (other than patching Live). I even found a raw, cached version for Everquest.com (apparently still cached from when you could patch without signing up), but that one still isn't good. If anyone can point me in the direction of getting the proper dbstr_us.txt file, please let me know. I can always sign up for a trial, but this is using a nuclear bomb to kill a fly. I'll do it if I have to, though I'm hoping someone can PM a Dropbox link or something.
