[Off Topic] Ultima IX crash at Terfin

[Stuart]

I assume this is a known bug in Ultima IX (probably original CDs, unfortunately):

Teleporting from level 1 of the final Terfin dungeon to level 2, the game always crashes. Trying to save the game at this point corrupts the savefile.

Are there any solutions, beside the now-impossible one of getting the remastered CDs?

[wjp]

The remastered CDs just contain version 1.18f, which is also available from the internet.

(Well, technically they also contain an updated installer, but that doesn't sound like it's the problem here.)

[Stuart]

I'm using the 1.19f unofficial patch, plus NPC/monster/books and economy patches.

You mentioned saving a game causes a corrupt savegame. Could it be that the savegame before that is already corrupted? (But just in a less noticable way)

You could try going back a few savegames to see if that 'fixes' it.

[Stuart]

Hmm... I could do. I have three savegames in Terfin - one outside the dungeon, one inside, and before the level 1 to 2 teleporter.

I amazingly didn't have any crashes with u9, so I can't really help you.
The only thing I can say to try is twiddling your settings around until you
can get past that point, save it, and then go change them back.
