Game drops to desktop

Post by Garrett »

Help,

I can't get neither U7 nor SI started. The intor plays for both titles, then I create the character and when I say 'Journey Onward', the game drops back to the Desktop.
Any log-file where errors are stoed? Any idea? I have the version from the U9 Collectors CD.

Thanks in advance,
Garrett

Any errors are in stdout.txt and stderr.txt

Could you post them?

Make sure there are no spaces in the install path of Ultima7 BG or SI.

ie..
C:\Ultima7

Oh, yes, changing the path to c:\ultima7 helped, even though there were no spaces in my path, which was c:\programme\origin\ultima7_1
Thanks anyway :)
