1.7
2013-10-19
The source of an issue which has caused a number of players to report that their copy of 'Ultima IV: C64' occasionally 'freezes' during play has been identified and has been fixed.
Three additional issues - which were identified by players during testing of the fix for the 'freezing' issue - have also been fixed.
Previously we wrote, "Sadly, once the app is updated many of the saved games (from the existing version of the app) will no longer work. If you try to use an old saved game in the new version of the app you may be able to walk around the world map, but you will experience corruption if you try to enter a town/castle/dungeon/moongate. In this circumstance, or with any other problem with an old save game, the only thing you can do is start again. We apologise for this but are relieved to be able to report that (we think) we've addressed the issues and that gamers will now be able to enjoy this genre-defining RPG as we and others intended."

THIS METADATA NEEDS UPDATING BEFORE THIS UPDATE IS RELEASED
Improved game rom stability.
1.4
2013-09-10
Some of the differences between version 1.3 and version 1.4 ...
Amended the original binary so that the in-game text reads as follows?
“Press R to Return to the view”
“Press I to Initiate new game”
Fixed a bug that previously caused the in-app keyboard and some of the in-app buttons to be 'invisible' when the game's played in portrait mode on an iPhone 5 and a 5th generation iPod Touch.
Sundry other enhancements.
SIGNIFICANT - currently this app does not utilise iCloud to back-up saved games. Therefore, whilst we intend and believe that saved games will be retained when this app is updated, we can not guarantee that it will. If you wish to retain your saved games we recommend that you DO NOT UPDATE THIS APP.
v1.3
2013-09-07
Some of the differences between version 1.2 and version 1.3 ...
Removed the surplus 'Launch Game' screen which appeared after selecting 'Play Game' on Main Menu.
Improved the loading time after selecting 'Original Manual' from Main Menu.
Amended the original binary so that the in-game text reads as follows?
“Press R to Return to the view”
“Press I to Initiate new game”
Changed the duration for which the 2nd and 3rd splash screens are displayed.
Disabled the 'virtual keyboard' Quit and Save function - a feature of the original binary - in favour of the Save / Load button functions at the top of the screen in the app.
Ensured that all of the button functions (e.g. Save / Load) which are visible when the game is being played in portrait mode are also visible when the game is being played in landscape mode?
Fixed a bug that could cause the game to fail to launch after saving a game and then quitting the app.
Sundry other enhancements.
