I heard that there is an official patch which eliminates the jumping mini-game in Ultima 8. Does anyone know if the GOG version of U8 comes with this patch installed.

I have never played U8 but play to once I finish U7.5.

Thanks much for any insight anyone has.

The patch should be preinstalled, yes. But it does not elimnate anything, it just makes jumping less tedious as you are far more likely to jump correctly than without the patch :-)

Here's a good explanantion I borrowed of an U8 fansite:
The patch makes life in U8 easier. You can move your cursor over your desired destination and the Avatar will jump there. You can also jump a greater distance than before.

Floating platforms no longer move in the patch, so jumping to them is much easier.

Ok, sounds good, thanks for the clarification!
