Key points
- The unpatched game has issues on faster systems
- The unpatched game doesn't support graphic modes beyond CGA. The CGA graphics used in the PC version were created for contemporary composite monitors in order to get 16 colors through effect known as "color artifacting". This effect doesn't work correctly on newer video cards or other display types
- The fan-made Ultima 2 Upgrade fixes both of the problems mentioned above in addition to other improvements and fixes

Notes
- ↑ When running this game without elevated privileges (Run as administrator option), write operations against a location below
%PROGRAMFILES%
,%PROGRAMDATA%
, or%WINDIR%
might be redirected to%LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore
on Windows Vista and later (more details). - ↑ 2.0 2.1 File/folder structure within the installation folder reflects the path(s) listed for DOS game data. For the GOG.com release, file changes in DOSBox are redirected to
<path-to-game>/cloud_saves/
even if GOG Galaxy is not used (this folder contains all redirected files, so some files in thecloud_saves
folder might be temporary files or other files that do not contain saves or settings).
