DIMITRIUS'S CM PATCH ADDENDUM - 2023 View File Fellow players, I'd like to present the CM Patch 1.60 + S2EE 3.2a Addendum Beta. The Addendum Beta contains game changes, fixes and extra graphics content. Gameplay stability in Multiplayer is not guaranteed. Playing wih legacy characters is highly inadvisable. The Addendum Beta is is not compatible with either D2F, or Enhanced Edition variations out of the box. It also requires the Elite Textures to be switched on(the Trimmed Elite Textures are highly recommended). The available localizations are English and Russian. Take note: Unlike the CM Patch 1.60, the Addendum has not been extensively tested by a dedicated team. Quirks and CTD's are technically possible. Please, report any such incidents. Game Mode changes: "Player vs. Player" mode is replaced with "Pandemonium" mode. "Pandemonium" mode description: With the all the disruptions and anomalies, caused by the Great Machine instability and overcharge, trans-dimensional rifts start to manifest. A massive invasion by a malevolent force, describing itself as "The Burning Hells" soon begins, followed by a self-proclaimed benevolent force, "The High Heavens". It's time to take out all this trash. Meet new enemies and a lot of new bosses. Those, who manage to kill all bosses and minibosees in one run receive singnificant attribute and skill point rewards. Gameplay Changes: 1. One of the primary calculation functions, used in attack vs. defense, spell intensity vs. spell resistance, damage vs. armor calculations has been fixed. 2. Occurrences, where, upon changing locations via doors, or secondary teleports, various objects and NPC states at the new location were not updated in a timely manner, should no longer manifest. 3.

Ingame price inflation is decreased by a factor of 10. Minimum item full price is 4 gold now. 5. Appropriate equipment and character bonus-granted modifiers now have a chance(35% for single target attacks, 15% for Area of Effect attacks, 0% for temporary and permanent buffs) to apply to spell-based attacks. 6. A certain rare day-night transition CTD is fixed. 7. One bonus type(BONUS_REDUCE_ENEMYS_SPELL_REFLECTION) has been restored. 8. Two bonus types(BONUS_ALLSTATS, BONUS_ALLSTATS_REL) have been introduced. 9. The functionality of bonus type BONUS_NOFLEE has been expanded. If applied as a debuff, it compels an opponent to attack in melee. 10. The BONUS_LIFELEECH_REL bonus type now properly causes percentage-based leeching from the creature's current health. 11. Damage mitigation is now capped at 85%. 12. 'Combat Art Skills +' modifier behaves correctly now, improving 'Ancient Magic'(now called 'Spellcraft Lore'), 'Combat Discipline' and 'Concentration' skill instead of 'Shield Lore' and 'Warding Energy Lore'. 13. The BONUS_HURL_ENEMY bonus type mechanics has been reworked. The damage is no longer indiscriminately applied to non-hostile NPCs and mounts. 14. Drop tables have been revised.

Both ambient and combat music selection have been significantly expanded. 17. Some projectiles used to demonstrate strange physics quirks(ricochet off some surfaces, "falling leaf" behavior). Should no longer happen. 18. CA tokens "et_debuff_EAW", "et_debuff_EVW", "et_debuff_armor_phy" from the same source CA no longer stack on affected targets, and are longer attached to affected targets as offensive properties(CA's affected are marked with '*' in the description below). 19.

Thanks Giggles for making it back over to us. It's the biggest world you'll ever buy for the least amount of money. Plus... its iconic bugs come free of charge Welcome back to DarkMtters! gogo

I too, have come back to the Sacred Series. The dev team did an awesome job on this game. I still get some laughs out of the commentary. The graphics are still stunning, and with the CM Patch and other add-ons, it's like a whole new experience. I purchased it off Steam, and get crashes to desktop more than I would like, but I still play. I'm also happy to see this forum is still supporting this game!! Props to all!!!

There are some questions and discussions about our project LifeLeech and our relation to Sacred and Unbended. I compiled a little FAQ about our project, which will answer these questions and some more: https://www.catbit.biz/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=494

Thanks. My sister does photos for a living. She wouldn't have been such a nice judge - even my daughter would be harder - At least I learned to do the lights right because the shadows are easier to rescue. Our second daughter is a good photographer. She prefers old analogue cameras with 6*6cm monochrome film. She says take an expensive digital and people fear that pictures will be online. Having a double-eyed hanging before the belly and look on the mirror from above let people behave more normal in public. When I imagine how it started with her interest in photography: a 15Euro do-it yourself kit for a camera. Now she has the Rolleiflex of my grandpa
