Dave in the basement (13 posts) Aug-30-04, 11:00 AM (Pacific) "Wiz Gold patch does not work" Hello! I have been trying to stumble across some help for Wizardry Gold, and I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Anywho, I am trying to update from version 1.0 to the 1.1a1 patch, and the patch will not execute. Everytime I try it, it kicks me out and gives me the generic 'send error report?' Microsoft message. I am running Windows XP, and have tried running the patch using the various compatability modes, as well as DOS. Please let me know if you need any more information, or if you have any ideas to help me out. If not, I'll have to see if I can transfer my ooooooooold 5.25 floppies to 3.5 and going that route. Thank you in advance for taking the time to try to help me! Dave   Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Dave in the basement (13 posts) Aug-30-04, 12:15 PM (Pacific) 2. "RE: Wiz Gold patch does not work" Hello Llevram! It was an exe file that was zipped. I wonder if I just need to transfer the exe over the old file... Thanks in advance! Dave   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Llevram (5415 posts) Aug-30-04, 03:02 PM (Pacific) 3. "Here is how it should go" I think you just unzip the file in the right spot and voila!, patch applied. I will double check when I get home (assuming I can find a copy of the patch). Tools for Wizardry(r) 7   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: Here is how it should go" it's not thinking when that is how it is done, the file contained in the ZIP file is named Wizard.exe, which is a replacement for the original file in the WizGold folder, which is usually C:\WizGold or D:\WizGold (btw, spelling is exact; the G is capitalized in the name, which is rare) the 1.1a patch fixes the 100 point skill bug, where if all your character's skills are maxed out, you couldn't get out of the Level up screen.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Dave in the basement (13 posts) Sep-01-04, 09:04 AM (Pacific) 6. "RE: Here is how it should go" It worked! Now is there any way to change the thread title to read "Wizardy Gold patch works, but I am not smart enough to use it"? Thanks again! Dave   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
