Beta Update 2025/6/26

This is Beta version, we cannot guarantee compatibility of save data, etc.

before playing the beta version,
UsersusernameAppDataLocalLow59StudioWizardryFoV2savedata
You can back up your saved data from above location.

If you agree to the above, right click on "Wizardry: The Five Ordeals" in the Steam library, select properties, and enter the password "IReadAnnounce" in the beta tab. The "publicbeta" version can be selected. This will automatically update the system, and you can also return to the current normal version by selecting no beta from the Beta tab. However, we will not be able to provide support for data corruption caused by version inconsistencies due to the use of this switch.


New

  • When creating a character, a random name is entered as the default name.

    It is of course possible to freely enter a name as in the past. The change is intended to improve the experience on various gaming consoles, including portable gaming PCs (AKA. Steam Deck).

  • Added error message when various option files are missing during scenario loading

  • Added a menu for future portrait DLC under "Change Marks"

  • Ability to replace users in the base image

    This is a test. may be changed or discontinued in the future without prior notice.

    It is not a feature that affects only certain scenarios, at least not at this time.

Updates

  • More menu speed optimizations

  • Adjusted handling of teleporter events directly leading to the next teleporter event

    At this time, only teleporter to teleporter is eligible. There is a possibility of expanding the coverage in the future.

  • The message when selling items has been made the same for the home and the NPC store.

  • In riddle events, full-width alphanumeric characters in answers are now recognized as half-width alphanumeric characters.

    This is an adjustment to ensure that English speaking players and Switch players will be able to complete the event correctly.

    The exception to this is that currently mixed full-width and half-width alphanumeric content is not yet supported.

    ex: full-width ABC -> Converted to half-width “ABC”

    ex2: ABC (full-width A, half-width B, full-width C) -> Not converted

    We would appreciate your feedback on the official Discord, etc. to determine if further adjustments are necessary.

Fixes

  • Some special characters were garbled in the message.

    We would appreciate it if you could report any garbled text on the official Discord, etc. as needed.
