Version differences
- The Gold Edition is a complete edition containing the base game and the Ice and Blood add-on needed for the community patch. The English-language version is based off the UK release.
DLC and expansion packs
Name | Notes | |
---|---|---|
Ice & Blood | Included in Gold Edition. North American localization was not released, only European and Japanese versions exist. |
Essential improvements
Patches
- The latest version for Fallen Angel is 2.43, which requires patch 2.40 first. Both are available here.
- The latest versions for Ice & Blood and the Gold Edition are 2.65.1 and the 2.65.2 hotfix. Both are available here.
- A community patch is available to anyone who has the add-on installed. It requires Ice & Blood or Gold Edition updated to at least version 2.65.1 (the 2.65.2 hotfix is included in the package) and fixes a lot of glitches, broken quests, PhysX feature, and other issues. Since it also adds new items, a separate vanilla drop mod exists to disable them.

- Under Windows 7, Sacred 2: Ice & Blood (release version 2.64.0) will crash constantly.
- There is no official Windows 7 fix for Sacred 2: Fallen Angel. Here is a post on the Steam forum outlining potential steps to getting Sacred 2 to work on Windows 7. However, the only reliable solution is to buy the add-on or the Gold Edition.
