Wandering Sword v1.24.28 Update Adds Save Renaming and Shop Sorting
Wandering Sword v1.24.28 introduces manual save file renaming and automatic shop inventory sorting alongside a sweep of bug fixes for achievements, combat stacking, and quests. The patch also addresses mod compatibility steps and CPU stability workarounds.
The latest patch for Wandering Sword brings quality-of-life additions requested by the community, led by manual save renaming and streamlined shop organization. Alongside these features, developers deployed a wide array of bug fixes targeting specific quests, achievements, and combat interactions.
New Inventory and Save Features
Players can now manually rename individual save files by clicking the rename option in the save and load screen. This feature is not currently available on Steam Deck. Additionally, when opening shop interfaces, items in player inventories that match merchant stock will automatically appear at the top of the panel.
Quest and Achievement Fixes
Several progression roadblocks and achievement errors are now resolved. The Grandmaster Friend achievement correctly unlocks after fully upgrading Bu Weiyue's meridians. Duplicate quest items for The Eight Immortals Artifacts no longer trigger multiple acceptances of the related quest, and failing to complete Pili School no longer blocks the Vib Daox assassination side quest in the Archive.
Combat and Character Corrections
At level 5 of Hegemonic Spearplay, Foresight and Formidable Defense effects now continue stacking correctly when only one turn remains and the character stands still. Ouyang Xue now correctly receives three items during sparring when the Toxicant Pendant is in her inventory after unlocking inventory expansion. Furthermore, visual afterimages no longer persist when equipping both Mistveil Wave Dance and Conquest Expedition strategies.
Technical Workarounds and Mod Warnings
This update may break compatibility for users running game mods. Players encountering launch errors or crashes must delete the contents of the Wandering Sword Content Paks directory and verify game files through Steam. For users experiencing frequent Unreal Engine crashes on Intel 13th or 14th Gen processors, developers advise lowering the Performance Core Ratio to 45 or 46 using Intel XTU.
Why this patch matters
Version 1.24.28 makes inventory management and save organization smoother while resolving frustrating progression bugs for long-running playthroughs.
