Subject: explanation of bug in "ULTIMA IV"
Mr. Hartman,
let me begin by saying that my e-mail service has been out of
sorts for the last couple of days and I have had a lot of
failed mail. So, my messages may have been incomplete or
cut up by the mailing daemon. So, anyway the 'bug' that I have
found on the "ULTIMA IV" disk is one which either causes the
computer to lockup or the screen to print gibberish in the
parser box. The bug is encounter on the first disk, side 2
(the towne side) and occurs when you try to converse with the
proprietor who sells horses in the town of "PEW"?? (Don't
quote on the town name just yet because I want to verify tonight
and wil send a verification tomorrow) In any case, the bug does
occur!!!!! How to get it repair you say??? Well the store where
I purchased it said, "that a replacement disk would be available
in about a month or so???" Can you believe this B.S.!!
It seems to me that Origin rushed this software out even though
it took almost 2 years. It figures that ELECTRONIC ARTS is
distributed this crappy disks!!!! Well anyway I get back to
you tomorrow to verify the exact name of the 'buggy' town, and
if you have any comments, or if you or any ULTIMA user needs
any hints send me questions, replys, etc. by e-mail to
svozza@ardc.
