Sorry, i do not know the difference.
Maybe Master Scatty knows.

My present version is
2.12.1
Feb 10 1995 16:02:40

BTW I plan to start this game for 7-th time.

Before Pit of the Dead i stopped the game because of some fail conc. the magician. Or something was wrong at all.

Hi, all,

There is a problem with U8:

- Speaking with the first Acolyte named Bane (woman -daemon crag)) during the conversation the game stopped and returned to DOS with the next Error message:

HALTING IN FILE YAMM.C , LINE 131
PROGRAM HALTED BY CODE.
REST, AVATAR, YOU WILL NEED IT!

C:\U8>_

I started again, same result.

Important info:
This is not my original desktop PC, but friend's laptop Toshiba with good characteristics.
Moreover I simply copied the folder U8 from my PC and pasted here on Toshiba laptop, which is hmmm.. not very clever idea.
No installation as have to be.

No music and FX effects at all.

Where i am wrong?
To DL and install correctly the game on friend's PC?
(But i dunno make any records to this PC, if possible)
And then add Save files?

TY for your help and time.

Well if you copied Ultima VIII folder over from your other pc, check if you copied everything so no file is missing, because the error you keep getting each time might be just because of that. Especially important that you copy the savegame folders entirely, any single file from there missing - good-bye savegame.
Otherwise just install the game on that notebook again and copy the savegame folder over, maybe that will help.

Edit: as for the no sound and/or music, try running setup/install program and set the correct parameters again. Of course I assume you play U8 in DosBox, which you absolutely should.

Solved, Master Scatty, done!

I instaled the game ver. 2.12.1 (Caro Capo asked for gold version but i have no idea) on this notebook, started install.exe, showed the correct directory and Sound Blaster for Sound and FX, added the last save file and voilaaaa!
Dos-Box 074 of course.

Ty, v.much!

Now the brave get the first test for Acolyte for minute. Have to create 3 wands or rods - Flash, Flame bolt and Endure heat spells. Done with pleasure.

Master, do You start your jorney for Chomalungma?
ha ha ha

Quotation:
....
Inch you way up VERY close to the door. You should be able to see some dirt inside. Cast "Summon Golem" on it, and instruct him to open the locked double-doors in front of you. Inside, cast "Open Ground" over the grave. Take the Heart......

SOS
My very first question for help.

I am unable to see this DIRT INSIDE.

Maybe some good soul will direct blind yoga?

This is in the Pit of Dead. I am before a building with closed double door.
This dirt inside is the only place inside where I may Summon Golem and then order it to open the door in question.

TY for Your help and Time.
