I don't think there're more than one versions of the game. When the servants strike there's no bug though, if you talk politely and carefully with them they will stop the strike.

Random tip:

"Muddy waters near frozen ice can hide unexpected substances, principally at the end"

Didn't understand? I can't tell you! Discover for youself.

In case you have some problems identifying items (lore skill is low) you can do the following method to discover an item is magical and its properties.

First of all, items with different attributes do not mix. Let's see an example. You have a candle, and it's half-burnt out and a somewhat used candle. No matter what you try to do you can't group them in the same space, they will always stay in different slots. Another example: You have found a stick. As you travel, you will surely find another stick. If you try to group them but they refuse to do so, there is a problem. You look at them but they seem to be exactly the same. The answer to your question is simple. One of those sticks should be magical, but its use is unknown yet.

The other way I consider it somewhat 'cheating'. You will surely find loads of scrolls and potions around the underworld and it is wise to gather them. They can be of much help in times of necessity. To identify them without raising your lore skill is simple. Get a piece of paper and save. Now, drink a potion. See what's different, if a spell was cast or your vision is blurred and write it. Then, use another potion/scroll and write what they do. Since the items stay in order, you won't have problems finding them again. But, be careful! If you take some out or use some, the order may become strange and will require perhaps a new battery of tests.

This applies to UW Stygian Abyss too.

In DosBox.conf, set fullfixed=true and that other parameter for resolution to 640x480.

Question After Installation

I typed DRAGON at the part where it says "to start the game, type DRAGON", DOSbox says DRAGON is an illegal command. What am I doing something wrong?

Dragon?! I must ask: Are you sure you are trying to run Ultima Underworld 2 - Labyrinth Of Worlds? The exe file is UW2 and the setup exe is UWSOUND.

Default Hmmm....

Yes, Im sure this is Ultima underworld 2 -Labyrinth of Worlds. I thought RPGINST is for installation. I tried UWSOUND but it saids could not find configuration file. Although by typing RPGINST after mounting, it goes to install screen. There are three selecitons; Install game, Create Bootdisk, and Exit. But I guess this is for a different game; The title of this screen is DRAGON WARS. I tried every single exe files but non of them worked.

Well, you definitely don't have UW2 there. I have no idea how you ended up with Dragon Wars instead of UW2, but download UW2 again, from AB. I just did and it works.
