Ultima IX Patch 1.19f

After patch 1,18f, Ultima IX was officially no longer patched, as Origin saw that as the final version. Despite that however, some unknown programmer did work further and published the unofficial patch 1.19f in January 2001 without Origin's approval. The patch improved the game quite a bit and nowadays it is the basis for all further patches and changes, meaning it has to be installed.

Actually, due to Microsoft removing support for SafeDisc DRM, this patch is needed to even run the game, since it does remove SafeDisc - which Ultima IX uses - from the executable, thus making the game compartible with modern OS. It's pretty obvious this step was not sanctioned by Origin.

Features of 1.19f

 * Improvement of the Direct 3D performance
 * Fixing of the "too many items"-bug
 * Removal of the SafeDisc DRM
 * Tweaking of the spell damage
