Sacred 2 Won't work, where as previously it did?
larvi replied to Legend Aadil's topic in Technical Help and Troubleshooting
Thank you - Which one do I install, there are 3 options? You would want vcredist_x86.exe for Windows XP and either vcredist_x64.exe or vcredist_x86.exe for Windows 7/Vista depending on whether you are running a 64bit or 32bit. If you aren't sure, right click on the Computer icon on your desktop and choose properties. On the right hand side in the System info it will have System type which way show which you have. I.e. mine says 64bit operating system so I would download the vcredist_x64.exe version. -
Sacred 2 Won't work, where as previously it did?
larvi replied to Legend Aadil's topic in Technical Help and Troubleshooting
Not sure if the OP ever found a solution to this but I've run into this error a couple of times after a fresh install of the UK version Sacred 2 Gold on a Windows XP computer (In fact it just happened yesterday after I rebuilt XP on one of my computers and reinstalled Sacred 2). The solution that works for me is to install the Visual C++ 2005 redistributable, specifically the 50727.4053 version of these files. Download and run the vcredist_x86.exe from Microsoft here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?familyid=766a6af7-ec73-40ff-b072-9112bab119c2&displaylang=en I didn't run into this on my main Win7 computer when I first installed Sacred 2 Gold. I'm not sure if that is because I already had the Visual C++ files installed there or becuase it is Win7. The Sacred 2 installer should really be installing the C++ dll's it needs if they aren't already on the computer. But it could be an issue because this is a UK version of the game trying to install on a US version of Windows. -
2 Versions of Sacred 2 on same OS?
larvi replied to Knuckles's topic in Technical Help and Troubleshooting
I just did this,I already had the UK gold version installed on my computer and on a whim bought the US Sacred 2 from Impulse when it was on sale a couple of weeks ago. I was able to install both copies but when I went to run the newly installed US FA release the game started but I didn't have any text on any of the menu buttons. I resolved that by copying the UK locale files from my Gold version to the directory where the Impulse version was found, but then the next problem I ran into was that both version shared a common save directory and the US FA release was showing corrupted save data when looking at the Gold saves. I couldn't find a way to set the save directory either via a registry or options setting, but since each user on Windows 7 has their own save directory I created a new user and logged onto that user and everything works fine now. So bottom line, create a new user, install and play the 2nd version of Sacred 2 from that user and you should be good. -
That one is annoying...done that >< And I can't figure out a way via the options to disable the shortcut key or set it to something that my ham fingers won't hit very easily like Shift-6 or Ctrl-6

Relationship between quest rewards and characters

Yeah, I've also noticed that with the mule, so if I have a choice of which mule to bring in I'll pick a class I want to get set items for. -
Best unique (or rare) shield for a High Elf
larvi replied to gogoblender's topic in Sacred 2 General Discussion
Yes, I removed some +all skills and the % dropped, I'll put some more levels on a try again. Yep, I got one of those too, level 82 Gold: Both shields were spawned in Niob -
Best unique (or rare) shield for a High Elf
larvi replied to gogoblender's topic in Sacred 2 General Discussion
Thanks Dobster, I just tried a test where I exported my toon with the shield lore and spawned the shield there and still no CC block, but it's strange that I got a much higher Projectile block this time, both shields were spawned in Niob too: Definitely strange unless there is some randomness to these unlock items. I do know too there are other items that don't have all of the modifiers at lower levels. I.e. I just got a low level Silithar's finger hoop and it didn't have the chance that opponents can't evade modifier on it like the higher level ones I've found have. -
Sorry to hear that Etherian, that really hurts at that level. I recently lost a SW at level 96 so I know a little of the pain. In my case I clicked twice on the veil icon, thinking the 1st time I missed since it didn't registrer, but there was a bit of a lag and eventually both clicks registered so I veiled then unveiled again right away. I've also seen where if you veil when in melee range of a foe they still can seem to target you while veiled. The other thing I've done is in the heat of the battle trying to hit the 5 for the 5th CA and hit 6 instead or in addition to the 5 and toggle the buff off.

larvi replied to gogoblender's topic in Sacred 2 General Discussion
Ok, why didn't I get block chance: close combat on the shield I spawned? Did I do it at too low of a level or was it because I unlocked it with a toon that didn't have shield lore? It looks like I got fixed Ranged Defense value instead, the other modifiers, damage, opponents can't evade, att and def are from the forged items. Did anyone else run into this? -
Yeah, the little ones are the ones that get me a lot. They have a nasty DOT attack that can take your HP down in a hurry.

Do we know there are actually less servers available or is it just that some people are creating the max 16 player servers when they only have a couple of toons running in them? That wastes servers for everyone from what I can see. I know it's just going to be me and my 2nd account so I drop it down to 2 when I create my server. For me everything has been running much better this weekend, last week there was awful lag.

What item modifiers will affect animation speed?

The quest name is Wild Twine which you pick up near Halko's Manor on the map. -
Podgie_bear's Ice and Blood Quest Guides

Great work so far, thanks Podgie. I was looking for information on the crystal quests a while back and couldn't find much, this will definitely come in handy for me. -

larvi replied to claudius's topic in Sacred 2 General Discussion
Yes, I farm this item until I max out my casting speed, it's a great item for that: http://www.sacredwiki.org/index.php5/Sacre...27s_Finger_Hoop It's also a 5star quest so you get nice experience in addition to a useful legendary ring, stats increase every 10 levels on it.
