In the trap "alarm" combat, it is possible to escape as usual. There is no penalty.

However, in this new combat, surprise attacks from the enemy occurs as usual. Since it is the same as usual except that no preemptive action is taken from the player's side, the spell "Levitate" and magical effects in some scenarios will also be affected as usual.
Changed the location of some user files such as portraits.
Old: Documents\59studio\WizardryFoV2 New: (Where the game is installed)\Data\User
Since the data will not be moved automatically, you need to move the necessary data by hand.

Fixes - The game was behaving incorrectly when the spell "teleportation" was used to move to the location of a teleportation event. - Fixed typos in some monster names in the English version of "Traveler's Property" (automatically updated).
