*The latest version for Fallen Angel is 2.43, which requires patch 2.40 first. Both are available [https://www.patches-scrolls.com/sacred2.php here].
 +
*The latest versions for Ice & Blood and the Gold Edition are 2.65.1 and the 2.65.2 hotfix. Both are available [https://www.patches-scrolls.com/sacred2_ice_blood.php here].
 +
*A [http://www.sacredwiki.org/index.php/Sacred_2:Community_Patch 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 [http://darkmatters.org/forums/index.php?/files/file/675-vanilla-drops-for-community-patch-160/ vanilla drop mod] exists to disable them.

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.

Better Textures

  • The Collectors Edition came with a third disc with Elite textures adding an extra option to the graphics menu for them.
  • Deep Silver are happy for people to download these textures but cannot supply them as the original developer went bankrupt. Post from Deep Silver community manager.

Issues fixed

Steam version crashes on launch

The Steam version Sacred 2 Gold will crash if launched when the beta client of Steam is installed.[citation needed]
Instructions[citation needed]
  • Go to settings in the Steam client and opt out of the Beta for the Steam client.
  • Restart Steam and let it download any client updates required.

Windows 7 compatibility

Under Windows 7 Sacred 2: Fallen Angel (Release-Version 2.0.2. or if fully patched 2.4.3.) will crash constantly.
Under Windows 7 the Add-on Sacred 2: Ice&Blood (Release-Version 2.64.0.0) will crash constantly.
There is no official Windows 7 Fix-Patch 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.
(pertaining to v2.43 DRM-free German) Game will work only if Windows Aero is turned off.[citation needed]
Only for the Add-on Sacred 2: Ice&Blood: Install Official Fix-Patch[citation needed]
  • Go to the official patch site: Update Sacred 2.
  • Choose the right language for your version.
  • Download and install patch 2.65.1.0.

Notes

The DRM-free version of Sacred 2: Gold installs pre-patched to 2.65.1.0.
