Wizardry 6: Bane of the Cosmic Forge - Saleck

Hello Everyone!

A new update for Wizardry 6 is available now which includes the following:

Windows - Updated David Walter's Custom DOSBox to Revision 6
Linux - Improved Launcher
Linux - Updated Libraries and DOSBox build
Mac - Upgraded to Boxer 2.0 engine. This is a huge change and you will need to rename the save file which the old version of Boxer was using. Go into /Users/Your Name/Library/Application Support/Boxer/Gamebox States/, find the folder called 'B6F9B4FF1CD278771E55FFED2EB09414F9826879' and rename it to either 'Wizardry 6 English' or 'Wizardry 6 German' depending on which language of the game you are using. Apologies for the inconvenience. This will not happen again but it is necessary in order to provide future updates.

Enjoy the game!

Update #1 is available now

Wizardry 6: Bane of the Cosmic Forge - Saleck

Hello Everyone,
Wizardry 6 has been updated after being in Beta for a while. Here are the changes:

Changed the main DOS game folder from wizardry6 to BANE. This corrects an issue some people were having relating to the numbers in the DOSBox path. Your Save Games (e.g SAVEGAME.DBS, Ignore SCENARIO.HDR if one is present) will be located in the old Wizardry 6 folder. You can copy them from there into the BANE folder to restore them. This a necessary change and one that will not happen again.
The DOSBox Console will no longer display on launching the game (Windows)
Updated Libraries (Linux)
Fixed sound popping on the main menu when moving the mouse (Linux)
Fixed "Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-open.c: 695: _dl_open: Assertion ` dl_debug_initialize (0, args.nsid) ->r_state == RT_CONSISTANT' failed!' (Linux)

Enjoy!
