Ultima 6 WHDload copy protection removal needs fixing

macce2 · 12 April 2020, 06:32

Hello folks,

The removing of the game copy protection ( needs manual!) does not seem to work properly.
The gameplay starts at Lord British castle and
after winning the first battle with gargoyles, you must speak with LB to get some help and guidance.
For example, you can' t use Orb of the moons without showing it to LB first.
In the original version of the game U6, you could use the Orb after speaking of it with LB, but that doesnt work with current WHD version of U6. Additionally, it seems that " the copy protection removed" is made by cutting some essential parts of the LB character " speak topics".
When you talk to Nystul ( at the beginning), he doesn't speak all the advice needed, compared to the original v of U6.
So it seems the install was made in a hurry and does need some fixes and improvements.
Anyway, I personally appreciate all WHDload game installs ( and other Amiga software) a lot.

Thank you friends for your help!
And excuse me for not opening the issue in Mantis yet,
mainly because I didn' t know anything about Mantis and planned to do something,
once I had the time to get to know how the Mantis generally works.
Fortunately, someone of you ( jotd ..?) did that already, thank you !
I will test the new slave soon !
Especially thanks to Psygore!
