I didn't know if anyone else knew of this patch... so I thought I'd just start a new thread.
Well I was surfing the net for Ultima stuff & I ran across this web site:
(
http://www.fansforultima.com/) http://www.fansforultima.com/
When you look over the site, you'll see lot's of great things happening. Upgrades for the old Ultima games. Some are just little upgrades, while overs (like Ultima 1 for example) are getting a whole new engine upgrade. There's other stuff too... just go look at it & see for yourselves. Anybody that's even remotely interested in the Ultima series should go to there.
I also found a patch for Ultima IX. At first I was going to ignore it... but I noticed the words "Unofficial" & I stopped to read it. Seems that there was one more patch made for U9 that EA probably didn't approve of. But it says it fixes the following:
1) D3D performance is improved
2) „too many items“ bug fixed; having too many objects in a limited space doesn’t resolve in a crash anymore
3) safedisc protection removed; safedisc caused problems running the game on some systems
4) spell damage tweaked
Well the first one was all I need to see... so i downloaded it. But it says that you need v1.18 patch installed already for this one to install correctly. So don't go deleting that v1.18 patch off your hard drive just yet. Here's a direct link to the patch for the people that can't wait to start downloading the patch:

And just to add some more sweet goodness to this thread... I'll toss in a link to an UO project:

Yeah! Thanks!
The first point (D3D perf) is good but I was especially waiting for point 2 (too many objects bug) which is THE bug which ruined my pleasure.
