U2 Upgrade Installation – v2.0

Unpack the zip file into the Ultima 2 directory on your hard drive.

1. Run the following program to patch the game, depending on your O/S:
   • Windows: u2upw (Can be launched directly from explorer)
   • DOS: u2up
2. Edit dosbox.conf (dosboxULTIMA2.conf for GOG) and change these values:
   • cycles=3000 (or greater)
   • cputype=auto
3. Run ULTIMA2.COM in DOSBOX to start the game.
   • For GOG, edit dosboxULTIMA2_single.conf and change the line that
     reads ‘ultimaII.exe’ to ‘ULTIMA2.COM’.

Optional Steps:

• Run the following program to change the default configuration:
  • Windows: u2cfgw (Can be launched directly from explorer)
  • DOS: u2cfg

Notes:

• Do NOT use ‘u2reset’, ‘rengal’, ‘cgapatch’ or ‘dngpatch’ from v1.1. These tools are now obsolete and incompatible with the Upgrade patch.
• DPMI is no longer needed to run the upgrade tools.
• The install may fail from U2 Upgrade v1.1. If so you will need to reinstall the game. Apologies, but v1.1 is a bit of a special case.
