Essential improvements
Import characters
- Characters can be imported from Wizardry: Bane of the Cosmic Forge saves.
- The game offers several possible beginnings for imported parties. If the player imports the party before completing Bane, the default beginning is given (the same as with new parties). The rest of the beginnings are reserved for each of the possible endings in Bane.
- Bane of the Cosmic Forge uses different file extensions for regular saves and completed games (
*.DBS
or*.BCF
).

Issues fixed
Game window is too small
- The game always runs at a windowed 640x400.
- Setting the game to run in 640x480 compatibility mode will make it fit the screen better but makes task-switching very difficult.
Run WIZARD.EXE in 640x480 mode.[citation needed]
