About the Lost Vale addon, the developers really worked on it, but couldn't finish it in time. Here's a link to where you can find some screenshots of the real game. http://www.bootstrike.com/Ultima8/downloads.html
The download is entitled Ultima VIII: Lost Vale Screen Shots . This site is great, has tons of things about ultima.

Theres a really good sound patch here and also one that allows you to run the game under windows 98... ufortunately its not compatible with windows XP but I'm sure a few of you smart buggers out there could work your way around that. k:

Ok, i downloaded the game on this site and said i needed vdsound so i downloaded that...and dosbox but whene i go too install and run with vdm sound and it installs but whene i try too run the game with vdm sound it will not work.........

Yes, yes... This aint a chatroom, you know? Demanding an immediate reply will have right the opposite effect.

If the game doesn't work with VDMSound... try DosBox. 's all.

I don't know how to run the game!!! :wallbash:

[Scatty]

Download DosBox from the Programs section on the main site and play Ultima 8 in it.

It seems you are trying to run the game in plain Windows. I strongly suggest you use DosBox instead.
You can download DosBox here.

If you have any problems with it, try having a look at the official FAQ on the DosBox site.
Basic Setup and Installation
Command Line
Z instead of C at the command prompt
Internal Programs (important, especially MOUNT)
Most of the stuff in there is not really needed, but youb would do best to familiarize yourself with the specific topics I linked to.
The mounting of your DosBox games directory, switching the promt to the emulated C: drive and clearing the screen from previous commands can all be executed from the [autoexec] section of dosbox.conf, so you won't have to re-type them every time round.
Frontend programs can help running DosBox with varying configurations for different games.
For both a more accessible user interface and oldschool feel, you can use Norton Commander (get it from our programs and utilities page - scroll down to the bottom to find it). NC might seem awkward at first, but in fact it is a very functional genuine DOS era file manager frontend. It has a plethora of functions that will help you in navigating around the directories, while still retaining the command prompt.

Though all of this might seem complicated, it's very easy once you get used to it. So remember:

DON'T PANIC!!!

I've decided to post random tips without spoilers regularly to help those who only seek guidance.

Magical weapons weigh only 1, so this means you can have lots of them in your backpack. The Deceiver, Khumash-Gor's scimitar and Flame Sting are the best melee weapons (there are no missile, for some reason) with advantages on each one. I strongly recommend having these with you, on specific situations you will learn with experience.

how dost thou jump on this game?
