Hi, everyone. I'm a newbie here (but not to the games, or to Usenet--I
was on usenet in its pre-Web, pre-spam days!)
Anyhow, I've got a couple of questions that I hope others here have
experience with. First, when I run the upgraded version of Ultima 4 (v.
nice graphics, btw) it crashes when my avatar meditates at shrines for
three periods. I've tried running it in WinXP, Windows 98, Windows 3.1,
and even DOS 6.2. It always crashes. So I've been playing the ugly old
version, which doesn't crash. I've searched for fixes for this, but
haven't found any. Does anyone know of one, or is it just me who has
this problem?
Second, my party is deep in Hythloth, in the rooms in level 6. And I
can't find the damn door out! I've played the room three or four times,
bumped people into every wall section, walked over every floor tile,
put people in strange configurations, and given myself eyestrain
looking for the secret door, but nothing doing. Any hints? (This is the
first room you enter on level 6, with a Zorn in the middle of the room
and lots of trolls and cyclopses, and one chest in each corner of the
room.)
Thanks muchly
lp, the confused avatar.
And I have to find some more people to talk humbly to--I was honest and
lost my humility points. Grrr.... once you become avatar you should be
able to loot and rampage with Impunity.
