Patch 1.2.4 (retail)
Patch 1.2.4 fixes issues with the retail version. Retail versions that state version 1.2.4 on the CDs do not need this patch. The GOG.com version is already fully patched.
For the Polish version use the ASCENSION PEAK patch.
Skip 3dfx logo
- The 3dfx logo is shown when starting the game with the Glide renderer.

) saves. - Wizardry: Bane of the Cosmic Forge saves share the
