Hi, just wanted to say i'm really liking this mod, it even works with the 1.28 fan patch exe so that's cool.
But mainly i love the amount of ammo in the game now. In vanilla i would struggle to keep a gadgeteer supplied, but now i've got a gadgeteer, a ranger and the whole party fully stocked with ammo and it's great. I mean i have no money because i keep buying ammo, but hey, that's my fault.
Only issues i've had is a couple of crashes in the swamp, but only after an hour or so of playing in there. No other issues so far, and i'm about to go to Marten's bluff anyway, so hopefully it won't be an issue again.
So i discovered that i was using an old version of the 1.28 patch (v2995) and now that i've installed v6320 i haven't had any more issues in the swamp. It may have been to do with the dark savant turning up to accuse the party of stealing the astral dominae, because that didn't happen until i installed the new patch too. Anyway, all good now.
It's been a while since I tinkered around with W8. All the information I have is detailed on the main page. Make sure that you follow the instructions carefully. I'm not really able to help besides that, sorry.
Since everything with the mod is just like I released it (e.g. no tool updates, no game updates), there is no reason for the mod to stop working.
Again, all information I ever collected that I or other users ran into is detailed on the main page. Sorry, but aside from the information provided I can't really help. I'd highly suggest double-checking the instructions and maybe starting from scratch.
I hear this game is really difficult so lowering player health is a bit worrying. This isn't going to make the game even harder is it? Also can I use transparent compass mod and Wizardry-8-low-frame-rate-fix
W8GO is meant to be played on the default difficulty. While it increases the difficulty in certain aspects it's still very feasible and you can even lower it further. I don't know these mods and therefore can't tell you if they work with the mod.
I had to do the nglide thing to make the image fit my screen. But when I do that no matter what resolution I choose in nglide it looks the same. Also the mouse is really fast, is there any way to decrease the mouse speed?
Does using a widescreen aspect ratio stretch the image?
The intro video crashed so I removed the video files in the instructions but now the intro video doesn't start at all when trying to click it... Now the video doesn't crash but there is only audio, no video
I had attempted to change the data path in the .bat file, but it seems it fails to recognize it. Both are set to the same one. EXE is Wiz8_v126_eng as well.
Might be silly to ask, but do I need to add "This PC" to the file path as well? Really want to make it a good first experience.
Does this work with 1.28? I like the ability to play in windowed and this enables it, where as CTRL+F12 didn't for me.
Edit: Doesn't moving Soul Shield and Element Shield out of certain spell schools actually limit class selection more? And also this seems to make Bishops much more attractive, especially in lower person parties.
I don't support other versions. I recommend following the install instructions.
Sure, that's fair. But I'd argue that the other changes to Bishop balances this out somewhat. Also, keep in mind that the vanilla game is far from balanced in that regard, and while this mod tries to improve that, there will be some superior options, especially if you're playing in lower-person parties.
Thank you so much for responding, I've read a lot of your posts.
Can you speak on what you recommend for lower person parties and/or what kind of considerations should be made for this mod? I'm trying to aim for four party members ideally, but five is okay if necessary.
Regardless of the games I mod I don't like giving out build/party recommendations. In addition, it has been quite a while since I played the game. I'm sure you'll figure something out that works just fine. ;)
Hi, I just installed the mod and it went smooth but took a little work to get a shortcut to the batch file into Steam.
• I made sure game path had no spaces for cfinjector I made a second install location in steam and moved the game there from within steam UI. • I created a shortcut to the batch and added the wiz8 icon from shortcut properties • I edited the target line from shortcut properties so it could be added to Start Menu & Steam cmd /c "...../xx.bat" •Once in Steam, I had to edit the target line for the Steam shortcut "...../xx.bat" I added the wiz8 icon to Steam shortcut
The instruction to create a new character means I shouldn't use the pre-made ones that come with the game? If yes, I will delete those .CHR files.
Was the game tested all the way to completion? I mean, if nothing went wrong on my end, game can be completed with the mod?
It's been a while since I worked on this but I'm pretty sure the pre-made characters don't work as intended, correct. The mod was properly tested, yes.

If you carefully read all the install instructions and it still doesn't work I can't really help you. You can join the discord and look for some previous conversations I had but I currently can't help troubleshoot W8 related stuff.
GGooDie and Ultimecius, I also had this problem, but managed to get it to work anyway. The CFInjector apparently doesn't like file paths with spaces, so what I did was put a fresh install of the game in a simple root directory (eg "C:/Wizardry8"), but otherwise followed the mod's directions. After this, the game loaded perfectly.

Thumbs up from me :)
I'm not aware of this mod causing any crashes so not sure what's up with that.
I followed the instructions,but the game is not running.

but i still cant fix this. maybe the game cant run in win10
Sorry, but aside from the information provided I can't really help. I'd highly suggest double-checking the instructions and maybe starting from scratch.
If I use Wiz8_v126_eng.exe they work but not with W8LaunchWithAgent.bat
deleted glide files again and now the video works but I only have the old resolutions in 3dsetup
Also can I use transparent compass mod and Wizardry-8-low-frame-rate-fix

And it stalls on that last line and never loads.
Any suggestions?
