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. The source of three additional issues which were identified by players - during testing of the fix for the \'freezing issue - have also been identified and fixed. Consequently, earlier today, the iOS app was again made available from the iTunes App Store for the the first time since (to avoid adding to the number of players frustrated by these issues), it was temporarily withdrawn on 3rd Oct. �Ultima IV: C64� is a near 100% replica of �Ultima IV: Quest of the Avatar� and is free-to-download - courtesy of Mythic studio - utilizing Elite System�s C64: Elite Collection technology. $\"\"$ $\"\"$ $\"\"$ $\"\"$ $\"\"$ 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 issue and that gamers will soon be able to enjoy this genre-defining RPG as we and others intended.\" Steve Wilcox, Elite\'s MD noted, \"The app is constantly evolving, Elite Systems is committed to continuing development over the weeks, months and indeed years ahead.
