Hello @ all!
I'm new to the forums and at first I want to thank you for your work on this lovely game developed so many years ago - your work is really impressive!
Yesterday I tryed the new 160 Beta Patch via LAN with my girlfriend and while it was working fine for me, she is experiencing real problems:
First the game started up and everything seemed fine, I changed some gfx-options and when I hit the "accept" button in the menue, the game crashed... So I killed the (still running) task from the task-manager and tried to start it up again, but in the moment the intro should show up the game crashes again - nothing I can do about it anymore (tried everything you mentioned in this thread, also with options.txt and so on). So I copied the whole Sacred 2 Gold Edition folder from my PC to hers and yeah, it started up again! We ignored the gfx-settings and started playing - everything fine for about an hour, then she accidentially alt+tabbed out of the game and the game crashed again. Since then it's like before - the game crashes on startup when the intro should show up...
We have played together with the 150 community patch long time before and everything was fine, so we deactivated the 160 Patch and the game starts up again... Activated the 160 patch - crashed again on startup....
My System:
Intel Core i7 4970x4 4Ghz, 16GB RAM, Geforce gtx 980 ti
My girlfriends system: AMD Phenom 2x6 1090T 3,2 GhZ, 16GB RAM, Geforce gtx 650 ti
I've installed the newest version of all drivers on the systems.
I've also looked into the windows event-log like mentioned above and I attach the errors most showing up (most of them repeating a lot of times because I tried get it running the whole day, so I only added them one time).
I hope you can help and thanks again for your amazing work!

Update 1: We now retry playing the game while we plug off her headset - the game started up again now, I tell you our experience afterwards...
Update 2: After she Alt-Tabbed out of the game there is the same issue as before... Game crashed and now it crashes on startup again... If I should try something else, please tell me...
