Summary | 0003175: Appears Ultima 6 is incompletely cracked or something like that, because after | ||||||||||||
Description | GameVersion: version from whdownload SlaveVersion: 1.0 Appears Ultima 6 is incompletely cracked or something like that, because after a while, and in some parts of the map, the game suddenly accesses disk and trashes the saved game. It's only noticeable after reloading (reload may eventually crash, it happened to me). The effect is all inventories emptied, which does not help at all in finishing the game ;) If needed i can provide a saved game where this happened. I can also provide a saved game which crashes every time it is loaded (at least with mmu on). Btw. Quitkey of F10 isn't the best choice (F10 has a use in the game even if a minor one - see the game manual). NumL would be better here (at least for me), but QuitKey tooltype doesn't work on this install. | ||||||||||||

Could you attach the saved game ? I'll take a look. Thx |

Actually, no need for a saved game as i found that it's pretty easy to reproduce. Here are the steps : - setup a new game with the installer - create a character - do the startup fight (easy !) - save the game at that point - travel a lot, especially in the towns at the south east Nevermore save the game while playing. Quit the game after a quite long session. When returning you will see empty inventories. You may also try ctrl-L to load ; it crashes often. I hope this helps ; i could not reply before due to, errh, real life problems. |

I didn't manage to reproduce this issue. Maybe you have an another version, ctrl-l to load doesn't exist, it's ctrl-r to restore a saved game. Have you installed this version: http://www.softpres.org/?id=:games&gameid=294 ? |

Sorry, my fault. Of course it's ctrl-R, not ctrl-L. I got the game from there : http://www.whdownload.com/games/Update-2007-12-20/Ultima6_v1.0_0294.zip After creating the character (and doing the initial fight), go near the ship peddler (south west from the castle ; the guy's name is Arty). South from there, you will find two paths going either west or east. Follow the road to the east, you should go thru two cities, up to a swamp. After a while (before you reach the swamp) whdload will swap (black screen for a while and disk access). Now your saved game is broken if you don't touch the inventory and then save again. See attached lzx for a saved game where this happened. Can you reproduce it this time ? |

Thanks for the saved game, can reproduce it. The game deleted a file from the saved game instead of a temporary file (whdload doesn't support rename() dos function). I use the ram: for the tmp files now and to avoid os swap too when writing/deleting files. Ram-Handler file must be present in data/ dir. |
