ULTIMA 6 PROJECT 1.1 (FINAL)

Written by Zephyr
Monday, 04 February 2013

The Ultima 6 Project has officially released version 1.1. This is intended to be the final build of the remake. Thus ends a long, laborious and diligent journey for Team Archon. Long Live Lord British.

There appear to be several fan mods in the works, or otherwise available, including Tribun’s new portrait mod (many of the missing portraits are finally available). So, have fun exploring!

Go to the main Ultima 6 Project site for full details of this release, or for the impatient, you can download the game with the links below. Note that as with most of their recent releases, you DO have to start a new game, or things will explode.

The Ultima 6 Project has finally released a public Beta of version 1.1. And if you want, you can play it in French! We’re working on ways to package up translation packages so people can easily port it to other languages if desired, but for now, you get English, and French. Not bad.

Go to the main Ultima 6 Project site for full details of this release, or for the impatient, you can download the game with the links below. Note that you DO have to start a new game, or things will explode. 🙂

TEAM ARCHON ANNOUNCES CRITICAL PATCH

Written by Zephyr
Friday, 16 July 2010

From the Ultima 6 Project’s website:

Team Archon is currently working on a patch (1.0.1) to address some problems with the 1.0 release, one of which will prevent you from winning the game. This patch will be compatible with your saved games from 1.0, and therefore all players should download and apply it immediately once it is released. We need your help to make sure that all players get this patch, as they will eventually get blocked and be unable to proceed without it. The patch is nearing completion and should be available before too long.
