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).
Import saves[citation needed]
  1. Choose Import (BANE) at the main menu.
  2. Change the file type from "Wizardry Savegame" to "All Files" (otherwise the saves will not be listed).
  3. Choose the save file and wait for importing to complete.

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]
