Any Sacred 2 players?

DanishDevil · Oct 12, 2009

I wonder if I even have a copy of XP around here :roll:

Well I guess I can get one off of TechNet.

Haha you can. If you need one I have a copy.

I might just install a Vista partition so I can play the goddamn game.

Sacred 2 is supposed to work with Vista, but I know that the original Sacred does not. I have a couple of older games (e.g. Unreal Tournament G.O.T.Y.) that will not reliably work on XP that run just fine on Windows 7. I believe it has to do with how the game adjusts to the speed of the processor though.

Funny, my Sacred Gold works great over here. Ohh! I use 32bit BTW.

I do know that using 64bit might screw up a lot of older games like the original Sacred. Caugh! Caugh! HOMM4.

From what i read, Securom and OPENAL are to blame for W7 to work.

On another note: I just purchased Sacred 2. I should get it this week. I heard nightmare stories about the latest 2.43 patch. I hope everything will go smooth.

I really like the original. But the Diablo hardcore fans dismissed this great game so it never got popular in North America. Heck! i had to fetch Sacred Gold in the US because they did not sell it in Canada.

then you'll be safe...

for those with win7.64..
they just released... MICROSOFT.WINDOWS.VIRTUAL.PC.AND.XP.MODE.BUILD.7600.16393.RTM.ENGLISH

wonder if Sacred 2.43 would work on that?
haven't tried it...
just saw that and wondered...

DanishDevil · Oct 14, 2009

I totally forgot about that! Mike, wanna give it a shot for me?

Phxprovost · Oct 14, 2009

people actually still play this? :wtf:

im in if someone ever wants to get a game going

DanishDevil · Oct 14, 2009

Yeah we all got into it before

My character's gone, though. Completely gone. I assumed because I made an Open Net character that it would save my character with my login, but maybe that's only with Closed Net characters? Either way, starting from scratch once I can get the goddamn game to run :shadedshu

From what I understand, when the XP Mode is on, it uses Virtual driver's from your base system, won't support 3D Applications..

The only Virtual software that does is Virtual Box 3.0 but it does DirectX 8 I think...

I like Windows 7, I think it's great..but I am having SO MANY FUCKING PROBLEMS WITH ASUS DRIVERS!!!! Blue screen, Blue screen, Blue Screen.............Error...error...error... :banghead:

I lost all my Characters too...stupid formats, and then I lost my external drive...fuck Western Digital...

But on a side note this weekend I will be building a XP Machine and setting up all of my gaming stuff on that. And taking my LAN box back to my Workbench for fixing up.

P.S. If you need something to pass the time, I would suggest Titan Quest, it was on sale, and it's stable but I havn't found it to be FUN...just yet but it's a 3d Version of Diablo set in ancient Greece. Probably more fun when your BSing with people as you play.

It's pretty cool with the fact that the Character Expansion is great, like 7 class's (or art's of combat) With a ton of different skill's and then 3 Different game levels, Normal, Hard, and Legendary. I grabbed it for 5 bucks off of D2D. It might still be available.

DanishDevil · Oct 14, 2009

If it's decent then I'll buy it off D2D for cheap. I've bought Bioshock & Supreme Commander so far.

Motherfucker. It's back to $20. Why didn't you tell us earlier! I blame you Mike. You owe me $15.

Hey! Don't blame me you Sonuvabitch! I told you in Steam a few days ago! :slap:

Is it back to $20 for the combo deal?

I think its decent. And it was on Sale on Steam 2 nights ago. I just can't get into it, keep getting bothered at home.

Did you? I don't even remember lol. :toast:

No one got Ice & Blood yet? bah, i'll grab only Sacred 2.

PS: I don't see Ice & Blood in the country store's websites anyway lol.

ZenZimZaliben · Oct 14, 2009

I want to play so badly!! I backed up all my character data, and luckily it's all still there, but I haven't played in months...Ever since the last patch. I like win 7 and am not having issues with any games except..FarCry and Sacred. Which were the 2 games I played the most...of course.

I am so tempted to switch back to XP. We will see once Win7 is officially released. PunkBuster is supposed to support win7, hopefully.

What kind of issues?

ZenZimZaliben · Oct 14, 2009

I know the makers of PunkBuster , EvenBalance, will not update the PB Client until Windows 7 is released. October 22nd.

For me, W7x64, I can start the game and play fine, except for the crazy stuttering every 15-20 seconds for 2-5 seconds. That makes it kinda hard sometimes. The worst part though is every 2 minutes or so, the game will fade to black and be gone, just like it does when you normally exit the game, but it does it all on its own.

PLEASE (whoever develops this game now) FIX THIS GAME! I want to playyyyyyy

Mike0409 · Nov 23, 2009

Well..there is no good news for Sacred 2 North America. It seems they will NOT be releasing the expansion to us anytime soon...=(

Do we have any other game like this we can play? I tried Titan Quest and it's boring solo...

DanishDevil · Nov 23, 2009

That's ghey.

Borederlands is getting old, too

I hear theres some DLC coming in a few weeks for the PC. And its being released the 27th for Xbox.

Onus · Nov 23, 2009

I've not been playing lately, but need to start again; I want to see how it does on Windows 7. I'm waiting for a Black Friday deal on an 80GB current-get SSD so I can reformat this system just ONCE and start playing.

ZenZimZaliben · Nov 23, 2009

Thankfully Borderlands has kept me entertained, however I am getting burned out on it, and there just isn't the same replay value as Sacred.

The good news is I have heard DIABLO 3 will be released on December 24th. :toast:

Just a rumor but it could be credible.
