Ultima 9: Crash in Covetous

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.games.computer.ultima.series (More info?)

I am having a problem with Ultima 9 crashing on the third level down
in Covetous. I crash every single time that I enter the room that is
to the north where the railroad tracks end. I have read that this is
the area where you find Skully's grave and get the key to go to the
fourth level. I have installed patch version 1.18 which is the
latest version as far as I'm aware. I've searched for other posts
about this particular crash and the only thing I've found is people
talking about a crash related to the earthquake. But that is not my
problem because an earthquake is not occurring when I crash. Does
anyone have any ideas about the cause of the crash or what I could do?
If not, does anyone have a cheat code that I could use to obtain the
key to the elevator?

Try to disable all your background program except the important one
(including your anti-virus) when you play that game

Try to play without your anti-virus on and without some background program

There is actually a slightly newer patch but I don't think it addresses
your problem. Did you try moving all the settings to the lowest levels
until you were past that part of the game?

I once had a similar problem, albeit at a certain spot behind Lord
British's castle rather than in Covetous. Restarting from an earlier
savegame solved the problem. Have you tried doing this?

Thanks for the suggestion. Restoring from a previous saved game
before I entered the mine did the trick.
