  1. Hey all! After having numerous issues with Sacred 2 running on Windows 7, my friend is considering wiping it and purchasing the UK version instead, since it's received further patches, and seems to still work alright for those with it. Before spending the $23 on it, though, we wanted to double-check a few things, just to make sure it's not a wasted effort (and, as she told me to write, she's being neurotic about it ;p). Does the UK version in fact run on US computers -- (From what I've read: True) Does the UK version run in Windows 7, Home or Ultimate version? -- (I'm not sure, still) How many installs does one copy allow? (ie. how many computers can we install it on, legally) -- (I think this was 3 for the standard version, but I'm unsure about Gold) Can different computers play together in a LAN game, with Gold, if they are using the same registration key? -- (I know this worked for standard, but I'm usure for Gold) I did a lot of digging around on the subject, before posting this, but again I wanted to be certain on all the facts before uninstall/purchase. Thanks for helping us out! ~Jaggy Oh, I did find Schot's post about uninstall and reinstall of the UK version (thanks for being awesome as usual, Schot!), so no need to repost all that. Also, I'd like to apologize, if this is in the wrong place...I'm sorry!
  2. Reinstall was a no go. The game wouldn't even start, after reinstalling. Also, on uninstall, there were still some odd files left over, like the textures folder. My friend in town was able to install it on her machine (also running Win 7), and get into the game, but after about 3 minutes of running it, it crashes. Someone had mentioned the other day something about processors possibly having an affect on how it runs? Could someone enlighten me on what to do to test this theory, please? o: Thank you again, ~Jaggy
  3. I know! I've been so consumed by college stress, and not having any time to game, that I just stopped getting on here. My buddies and I have started playing Sacred Underworld together, at least, since I have my old tower with Win 2k on it XD;

    How've you been? :D

  4. Back from the dead?

  5. *sneak sneak sneak*

  6. Hey buddies, my dad is having this same issue, over here in the US. He's tried running it from the shortcut in compatibility mode, as admin, and any other forum suggestions he could find on the forums here, on Tom hardware, and some other gamer forum (he can't remember the name). After a Windows 7 update, he found that he couldn't get past the green text loading screen; it would get through that, put up the joke, then crash. On trying to get this figured out today, it now won't even start! On trying the uninstall-reinstall idea, "I tried the Revoke ID application-it didn't work either!" He managed to get the revoke screen, but it went straight through it without letting him click anything. It's updated to 2.43, and this only started happening this year, as I said after a Win7 update. If anybody's got any additional suggestions for us, please give me a shout! Dad's about ready to just give up and delete everything, but I love Sacred too much to not be able to play it again Thanks, ~Jaggy
  7. @Schot: Oh yes, I'm definitely bubbling over inside, wanting to tell him. I almost spilled the beans that day But yeah...I don't know how I'll top it XD; @Rantras: Here's to hoping! (Though I have very little doubt ;p)
  8. Wooow o-o I wish someone would do that legitimately for Ice and Blood <<=>> It looks like they're crossing out the codes as they go, though.
  9. I have to say that I'm super excited right now. I just bought what I believe to be one of the best presents I could, for my beloved: 2 tickets to the Music as a Weapon performance in our area, featuring Disturbed, Korn, Sevendust, and In This Moment. I may have heard of Sevendust (not sure about This Moment), but Disturbed is one of his favorite bands, and I know he misses live concert opportunities (we don't get a lot of them here, compared to GA), so I'm pretty excited to see his reaction when I give them to him! The best part of it is that the concert is only 2 days after his birthday X3 Now, though, I am left with the question: How will I top this one? XD; Anyhooo...I was just so excited I had to rave about it! Also...hello again! I'm going to try to be online more, though this semester seems kind of busy, so no guarantees. Loffs to you all! ~Jaggy
  10. @Schot: Very much so :3 I'm not sure if this is new with this skin or not, too, but I really like how the different groups are distinctively color-coded when viewing users~! It's probably not new, and I'm just forgetting the old skin, but I like it XD;
  11. Ooh, nice look, Scleameth! I don't think I could do better :3
  12. Using the wings in a CA would be amazing! And, actually, they have done something similar, with the demon in Sacred 1.... It would be awesome if they gave the seraphim a CA with the ability to fly, like the demon could, and then add the graphic of wings with it... So shiny @3@ Maybe it'll show up in S3? ;D
  13. WOW! That's almost all I can say. The new skin almost made me fall out of my chair - it's quite stunning! I feel like it really gives the site a unified and..."official" feel (I guess you could say). Very pretty, and so elaborate! *wanders off to get lost in the new stuff*
  14. So, tonight was my last night in Vienna, and I decided that I really did want to try to go to Tanz der Vampire. All I knew was that it was a musical, and nothing else (well, besides that vampires were involved, lulz). The show was sold out, even the standing room, but there was a woman who wanted to sell two tickets back, and I was able to get one from her, so I really lucked out. It was .The. most .AMAZING. thing I've ever seen. GAAAAH! *spews* Alright, I'll calm myself down so I can share some of the details with you all <3 I just bought the program afterword, so I don't really know what the plot was exactly, at the moment, but there's a synopsis available on the official website (http://www.tanz-der-vampire.de/), however it's only in German... So for those of you who don't read German, there's a brief overview of the story at http://www.danceofthevampires.com/story.html There're also some tidbits on Wikipedia ;3 Though it was called a musical, I found it really to be more like to an opera than a musical, in that the music was almost completely continuous throughout the whole thing. In that way, I guess it was a little like Tosca - the music and singing, but with spoken dialogue as well. The music was fun to listen to, and the plot moved along quickly, for the most part (or maybe it was just that I saw Wagner's Parsifal last night, haha). The set, staging, and costumes, were all amazing! The set absolutely blew my mind - there was SO much detail in everything, and there were a LOT of different scenes shown. They also used a really interesting technique at different times, projecting images on a scrim screen (scrim is a fabric that's opaque when light is shown on one side, and transparent on the other), in front of the acting on stage. I found myself completely caught up in the world that was created, and even though I didn't understand all of the German, I was able to enjoy it and was very intensely involved in the character emotions and actions. If nothing else in Vienna made this trip worth it, Tanz der Vampire most definitely did! As an aside, I was curious if anyone else had seen the musical, anywhere in the world (since it's been around), and what you thought of it. If you haven't seen it, DO! Cheers~! ~Jaggy
  15. FLIP! Happy Birthday! :D

    Miss seeing you around. I hope you have an awesome day <3

  16. Hehe, nice one Gogo. Maybe those that do have gray hair should just write what color their hair used to be? ;p Mine is a shade of blonde, though xp
  17. What *I* hate, is having to get to airports 3 hours before your plane even boards! It's the worst when you're leaving friends/family, too, cause then you're sitting around brooding, wondering why you have to sit behind security for 3 hours, when you could be spending those last moments with them. *le sigh*
  18. Before I went abroad, they had lowered out tickets from $8 back down to $7, but they'll probably be $9 or $10 when I get back T^T Just a couple years ago they were only $6! And yes, of course, the ridiculously overpriced food (and who eats ice cream and nachos in a movie theater, anyways?) We also USED to have a drive thru, during the summers, but they closed it last year *sadface* I think it was only like...$4.
  19. Mine always come out as TGA, and I just put them into GIMP and re-save them as JPGs or PNGs. I knew that GIMP had a TGA format, even before playing Sacred, because I used it for saving modified pictures for Neverwinter Nights XD;; Another great thing about GIMP, eh?
  20. Running around beating the crap out of monsters with a guitar, and an imposing skull helmet (Mr. Inquisitor)
  21. Haha, I play tabletop Warhammer XD;;; 40k, anyways. My beloved and I were planning on getting into the original, but haven't racked up the money to get models yet *lols* Yeah, I do wish that some of those were available in single player, too. It's nice being able to play against others, but I'm sure they could make AIs for those who wanted them. Bah xp It's too bad that you couldn't find other Warhammer'ers, though 3: They totally should make one o3o You should make one! XD -- Hey, I might have to come up there and visit you, Gogo, that sounds like fun ;D
  22. What's this? It's Katran's B-day, and no-one has noticed? Unacceptable! So I thought I'd throw up a thread for one of our great mods (also appeasing the angry laser-kitty)~! Happy B-day, Katran - hope you have a great day, with no angry laser-cats ;3
