Has anyone run into cursor issues when using U8 with Wine? The game launches fine, but when I try to move my mouse it's stuck at the bottom right corner.

I can run the game fine under dosbox (using gog's u8 files) but I wanted to use the gog version so I can take advantage of the Graphic Mode Setup.

Hi,

AFAIK GOG.com graphic mode setup actually sets up Dosbox options only, so you can change them manually by modifying dosboxULTIMA8.conf file... or any other dosbox configuration file you would like to use with it.

Of course, in Windows version of dosbox, there is output option ddraw available, but I don't see any difference between opengl and ddraw.

Awesome, thank you. I'll give it a try after work.
