Constant crashes – Ultima IV: C64 Review

I was so excited to play Ultima IV again. I have tried version 1.3 and 1.4. I am willing to forgive some small things like keyboard lag, distorted footstep sounds, and black and white dungeon graphics. However, the game crashes RELENTLESSLY as other reviewers have mentioned. I have started over three times and each time after about 4 hours, the game will crash no matter what- entering a town, moon gate, or combat (regardless of who initiates). Renders the game UNPLAYABLE. Even loading prior saves, force quitting app, and restarting iPad do not work. I am really holding out hope for the next version to fix this, because I would desperately love to play this game again. This series was a defining part of my adolescence. Please do it justice! :-) PS I would also like to see support for a Bluetooth keyboard, perhaps eliminating the onscreen keyboard, and thereby make the play field bigger. Also, add an option to turn off footstep sounds and keep the background music. I noticed that turning off the music ("V" key) makes the footsteps normal. They seem to be interfering with each other somehow. I am sure most players would rather hear the score than the footsteps.
