  1. I sure do buddy. Good drops in that area, and great xp. Lag....oh god do I remember. Game runs so smooth for me in single player, wish it would have been like that on their servers. Remember how we had to wait at times to get in a game? They would all be full. Glad you still have things going here....nice place you've got Mr.
  2. Gogo suggested you all might want to see this so here you go. This bug has happened several times and is kind of a hoot. Hope you enjoy!
  3. There is an easy fix for this problem...go into your Program filesx86, steam folder, steam apps, common, Sacred gold, config, and change your color settings to 32 bit. All should be fine after that. I saw it posted here, but I figured I would post the path to get there. It should be all you need to do. I am running win10 64 bit pro, GTX1060, and ssd's in raid mirror. Game starts so fast it goes straight to log-in. Runs great for me, no issues other than game bugs which I am going to post a video of one that keeps happening to me. Pretty comical!
  4. Hello all, it's been a long time. Thought I would give this thread a bump since I have playing Sacred 2 quite a bit lately; and in particular have been working on this "build by gogo" with great success! Nice vid btw at the wiki of you dispatching the guardians. I was just as successful completing bronze. Very cool! Anyone who played with me in S1 knows of my affinity for cold spells. The mage's ring of ice was extremely fun to play, as you pretty much completely incapacited your foes with it. Shards was a killer, just like it is in Sacred 2. I play it on Steam, and it runs great! I am anxious to get into platinum with her to see what damage she can really do. I hope everyone is well Tips
  5. Hi Gogo . It isn't the newest Uni, just the last one before the new skin/set-up. Hope all is well with you pal!
  6. A few of us at Clan-DA have joined Templar alliance in Uni 43 and I was wondering if anyone here has an account there? let me know so we can look you up.

  8. Hey Schot ...why don't you put the wiki down for a while and come join us on the servers?
  9. Ha! We locked your evil twin up. That was YOU, your evil'r twin trying to shoot me in the buttocks, see I had to duck under the roof to keep him from plunking me.... You have a ways to go to catch Dags though, there is about 7 of him running around....
  10. Look at this guy on the roof at the start Isle waiting for some unsuspecting soul to come in and get snipped! That man would be your very own knuckles....
  11. There is something specific that triggers the bug, but I am not sure what it is. Even though I have mine to level 48 now he has never hit hi numbers like that on his damage, it has always been in line with what it should be. His range is out of line though and he hits stuff 3 screens away, which is bad for me because if I kill it that far away I get no experience for it and lose the drops. It does spawn large groups for me though, I have had a lot of fun with that . C. maelstrom and ruthless mutilation and you can wipe out a pretty good bunch quickly.
  12. This is my Inquisitor using his doppelganger as a buff, along with his doppelganger. I had 5 at one time for a brief moment but ended up with 2-4 most of the time. I got some great video, but am searching for ways to keep the quality higher than I have been able to so far. Will post when I do.
  13. Just so you know, didn't see it posted here, the game creates a folder in my documents/my pictures called ascaron. It saves the screenies in a quicktime format.
  14. Yep this is true Sil, there are a great many PSU's out there that say 450w when in reality true output is closer to 250w. I don't want my PSU to exceed 75% of its capacity at greatest demand, that way there is no issues with output, and it has a much longer life. There are only a few brands I will consider buying, although I have to say there are some new players in this market, formerly known for making good memory that make top quality PSU's. Also my case runs 5 fans, something people don't always consider when buying. I have very few issues if any and always have a little room to upgrade. Besides, that 750 I got came as a combo deal, I got a total of $135 off between rebates and such by buying it and my 8800GTS together, basically I got the PSU free. That is what prompted me to buy at that time. Just make sure what ever you buy is of good quality. Pick it up, if it is heavy that is a good start, light weights tend to be junk.
  15. Ain't that the truth. I had a power supply from an Inwin case that stayed with me for 9 years. I transfered it from case to case until it finally gave up the ghost. Being short of cash, I replaced it with a bargain model that exploded--loudly--early in the morning. Yep its a pretty over looked part by some. I tend to go a bit over what I need. I left room to upgrade my cpu and graphics card, but probably will only update graphics at some point, I love my cpu. I will have plenty of power to do so. Gogo, to answer your question I tried 4AA again, took too much of a frames rate hit. It ran good but looks better in 2AA for me. Everything else is maxed out and turned on, looks great!
  16. I am running so good I don't want to take the chance of messing things up. I do have the CE, but never installed the elite graphics, not yet anyway. MP runs great, single player runs ultra smooth, so I bet I could. I have been convinced Raid0 doubles your chance for a crash, and chance to lose everything. I really like raid1, knowing I have an automatic back up. Most techs will tell you you don't gain enough from Raid0 to make it worth the risk. You want more performance? If you have an nvidia card, and a nice multi core processor, turn off the physics in your graphics card and let your processor do the math. I gained 10-15 fps by doing that. My Q6600 is a great processor which I have oc'd to 3.7 at times....stock is 2.4 (I run it at 2.7). It is a very, very underrated cpu. I bumped the motherboard fsb to 1666, and kept memory at 1200...and got a noticeable difference in performance. So to keep this post on subject, if anyone is thinking about a quad, I HIGHLY recommend the Q6600. It is reasonable in cost and is a great performer. Also it is being discontinued, get them while you can. Nice writeup, Tip...and I'm always happy to see you here! Are you serious though...you're able to play Sacred 2 at full settings...even with 4aa...and no lag at all? The mouse never falls behind? gogo Thanks Gogo, it is nice to be here No 4aa Gogo, don't really need it. It looks beautiful on 2aa, no mouse problems at all. I should try it now that I have turn physics off on the GPU. I will get back with you. You know what I think makes a great deal of difference? My PSU, you have to have a good power supply to keep things running like they should. it is an area some people fall short and it hurts the performance of the computer overall.
  17. Definitely a nice thread guys. Here is one I built for barely over $1000 including shipping. I got all the rebates back, came to about $1075. It runs Sacred 2 on highest settings, very nicely.

  18. Happy birthday my friend, I hope you have a great day!
  19. Thought I would give you all a link some of us at DA use from time to time. This is a nice little site that has not only quite a few links to free software, but a section you can download quite a few different versions of linux, and a tutorial. http://www.ramsinks.com/
  20. Hey, I'll wish you a happy b-day over here too . I wanted to tell you my sons were drooling over your quilt, and just about had a heart attack when they saw the Sacred Reich shirt incorporated into it...lol. They are mainly into hardcore music, and hit all the shows they can around here. I was surprised how much people trade t-shirts on Ebay. My oldest son Jason constantly trades there, gets a couple in the mail a week. Nice gift man, a lot of thought into that one.
  21. Thanks for the warm welcome y'all. Its always good to see you stop in at DA. Darius and Jon are the Guru's over there, although they are too modest to admit it. They have done a great job, and you have this place looking good, can't wait to see how it progresses. No matter what, keep it fun
  22. Nice looking place you have here. Gogo has been over at DA talking all of you up, for good reason I see. You've done a nice job putting all this together, very nice indeed. Just wanted to stop by and say my hello's...and give you all a nice pat on the back. Cya around Tipsterdad
