Wandering Sword Update v1.24.30 Adds Custom Save Naming

Wandering Sword update v1.24.30 introduces custom save file naming for PC and Steam Deck alongside bug fixes for skills and battlefield effects. The patch also addresses mod compatibility and stability steps for Intel CPUs.

Wandering Sword version 1.24.30 is live, bringing quality-of-life additions like custom save naming alongside targeted bug fixes for skills, codex entries, and battlefield visual glitches.

Save Management and Features

Players can rename save files using the Rename button in the Save and Load interface, with full support for Steam Deck keyboards. An auto-save is added during the Battle at the Heavenly Buddha Cave main quest when the three monks confront Fulongzi.

Skill and Codex Bug Fixes

The Heavenly Sword technique skills Thrust and Cleave are no longer misidentified as Second Form and Ultimate Form during Mirage Realm challenges. Completing the Martial Arts Tournament side quest during the Wujia's Past storyline properly unlocks its codex entry. Lingering battlefield effects from the Six Paths of Demonic Might are also resolved.

Mod Compatibility and Troubleshooting

Installed mods may cause crashes or launch failures on the new version and should be removed from the Wandering_Sword/Content/Paks folder. Players encountering frequent Unreal Engine crashes on Intel 13th and 14th Gen CPUs can use Intel XTU to adjust the Performance Core Ratio to 45–46.

Why this patch matters

Update v1.24.30 brings helpful organizational tools to Wandering Sword while cleaning up lingering skill naming errors and specific quest tracking issues.
