Carrying Capacity Bug
The carrying capacity of your characters is set at game start, and does not change with increases in strength or class changes, as it does in Wizardry VII.[6] If you want a fix for this, Mike Marcelais has made one available.
Level 7 Spell Bug
The Level 7 Spell Bug will haphazardly render monsters immune to the four level 7 spells which damage all monsters: Nuclear Blast, Word of Death, Mind Flay, and Deadly Air.[7] A patch for this bug may be downloaded here.

Issues fixed
- The keyboard input indicator is not shown when in mouse mode; these steps switch to keyboard mode, allowing the indicator to be displayed.
- Full keyboard input is also useful if you are wanting to play with a controller (use the DOSBox Mapper to change key assignments).
Change input mode[citation needed]
|
- At the main menu go to Game Configuration.
- Change Input to Keyboard.
- Choose Exit to save your changes. Repeat to switch back to mouse mode.
