The shop that I traded in my copy of U9 (Dragon ed) with Ultima Collection gave it back to me today - they'd put in in a drawer and basically lost it for a year. Anyway, since they've given the whole thing back (I really only wanted the UC disc) I thought I should ask if there are any patches or mods out there that help with these Ascension problems:

- The game crashes constantly. Defragging the hard drive after every session seems to help, but every computer ever seems to hate this game.

- The game itself sucks, which is a shame because the parts of it I like are good.

I guess the first part is a patch issue, and the second part is a mod issue. I do in fact quite enjoy playing Ascension in many aspects, but for the damage it seems to do to computers.


I deserve money, I reckon.

Yeah you should definitely use following patches:

1.) official 1.18f patch

2.) unofficial 1.19f patch

3.) economy/monster/dialogue fanpatches - read the install instructions carefully for this one

I've just applied the official patch and will give it a go. What does the "unofficial" patch do?

The "unofficial" 1.19f one was made by an Ascension developer. It improves D3D performance, fixes some bugs etc... (also removes Safedisc protection)

You should not play without it.


The fan patches (economy/monster/dialogue) are something different. If you want to play the original Ascension then play wihtout them. But you should also install at least the dialogue patch. It actually really improves the experience a lot.
