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. Digital distribution versions are 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.

Run in 32-bit color
- The Glide renderer (the default for digital distribution versions) runs in 16-bit color; 32-bit color is noticeably more detailed.

Adjust combat speed
- Wizardry 8's default combat speed is quite slow; Wiz8Fast can be used to increase it.

Import characters
- Characters can be imported from Wizardry: Crusaders of the Dark Savant (
*.DBS
) or Wizardry Gold (*.SGM
) saves. - Wizardry: Bane of the Cosmic Forge saves share the

extension but cannot be imported directly; import them into the sequel, then import that into Wizardry 8.
