[solution in summary: use win98SE and Utlima 9 Extended Setup to tweak settings if u have additional probs]
Hiya!
after building my winME p4 machine I decided to finally play UltimaIX ... I did a full install, installed 1.18f patch and then the 1.19 unofficial one.
I made a yt vid to show you: http://youtu.be/N9Y_wn2VCFo
as you can see the framerate is really good but the character's movement is broken , the journal animation is dead slow and it makes no difference of the details setting.... it's like an internal timer or something just goes crazy 😠
I have tried the game completely unpatched, with 1.18f patch and with the 1.19 one.... all 3 behave the same.
I have tried running in Glide or D3D mode, still the same (so there is nothing wrong with the gf4 drivers I think, the v2 ones are the last stock 3dfx ones)
I even tried downclocking the cpu to 1.2ghz, still the same! 😵
the pc is running winME, a p4@2.4 with HT disabled, voodoo2 sli, gf4200ti, sblive, dx8.2 ... I am all out of ideas and found nothing on google... (I did not even find an alive Ultima series forum)
I am getting pissed at this because when I bought U9 it was running like a snail on my p3 and now that I have built a machine that has a nice framerate it just crapped out 😏
Anyone here has any suggestions? because I am all out of ideas...
edit: seems my discs are 1.18F patched from the factory, I notice the installation saying 1.18F and there is a PATCH.TXT on the cd with the... 1.18F notes... and to add more to the insult, the game runs fine on my i7/560ti/win7x64 pc, I just checked... 😳
