Ultima 9 Patch v1.19f
The first unofficial patch for Ultima 9, and for a long time the last.
8675 Downloads
This patch, rumoured to have been written by one of the developers of Ultima 9, offers further improvements to the Direct3D support that the 1.18f patch laid the foundation for. It also adjusts the damage caused by some spells a little bit, removes the “too many items” bug, and removes the SafeDisc protection from the game.
Indeed, this patch is pretty much necessary if you intend to run Ascension on a modern system; it should be the final step in an Ascension installation.
Note: this patch requires the official 1.18f patch to be installed, so get that one first.
Any ideas when this patch surfaced?
Not a clue, sorry. I would assume soon after the 1.18 release, maybe as late as 2000 or 2001…but that’s all pure conjecture.
link is broken
I just tested it at this end. It works fine.
it doesn’t work for me
I’ve tried this now a few times in multiple browsers, on mobile and on desktop, and have encountered no failures. So I’m not sure what to tell you here…the file is there, but you don’t seem able to access it for some reason.
Do you have any script blocking plugins installed in your browser?
not that i know of
What browser are you using? Let’s start there.
i have google chrome
Ok. Just tested it in Chrome, and downloaded without issue.
Try an incognito tab?
nope it doesnt work incog
Ok. So what extensions are installed? That’s the next thing to look at.
And after that…can you try from a mobile device not connected to the same network as your computer?
i have adblock and thats it… btw do you know how to install ultima ix on win 10
Where are you installing from? CD?
Try disabling Adblock. There are no ads on the Codex, and Adblock does have some script blocking as well depending on what settings are enabled.
yes from cd and i did try disabling adblock
Ok. So if you install from CD, you’ll either need to patch to 1.18f and then to 1.19 (to remove the copy protection), or else just patch to 1.19 if you’ve got a CD version that’s already at 1.18. If the setup program on the CD won’t run, you might need to try run it in a compatibility mode.
As for downloads here, I’m really at a loss for what to suggest. I’ve tested in five browsers – Chrome, Edge, Vivaldi, Brave, and even IE11 – and haven’t had a failed download yet. I’ve also tested in three browsers on my phone; all success, again.
You’re on Windows 10, so you’ve presumably got Edge; try that and see if it gets you the file you need.
do you have discord? cuz i would be easier to talk about the install of UIX

The patch came out shortly after the Ultima team left EA. Sometime around 2000.
