Game crash at bonded mount

[DunJuan 0]

I can get up to the area where the Seraphin takes me on a quest, some island somewhere (cant remember names sorry, north on the map) and this dude is going on about a bonded mount, but when I try and talk to him my game crashes, everytime. I downloaded a patch, but even that is telling me to re-install my game.

 

First, is it ok to save my saves elsewhere, re-install then put my saves back to carry on or will it glitch the game?

 

And is it possible to continue my quests with the Seraphin even though I am a Shadow Warrior?

 

Also, do I need 'riding' to be able to use my bonded mount, which as yet I am unable to obtain.

 

Thanks

Hi and Welcome DunJuan

 

When you try to install patch is it telling you it cannot find Sacred 2 and that you should re-install ? If that's the case it sounds like you have the wrong patch. If you let me know what version you have including build number I can give you a link to correct patch

 

You should have no issues making a copy of your saved files or moving them, then moving back after re-installing.

 

You cannot continue quests with a different character. I seem to remember something about this bug, if you patch game and still have same issue I can dig around a bit and see if I can find anything on it. If the quest is still bugged you can always re-do on a different difficulty.

 

You do not need the riding skill to use a horse or special mount though the regen penalty for Combat Arts will be higher than when unmounted if you do not take Riding

I tried all 3 of these patches and none have worked thus far.

My game is version 2.0.2.0 (according to the read me file when I installed the game)

 

Downloaded from http://update.sacred2.com/dl_international.html (Eng not US)

Sacred2-UK-INT-2_34_0_0-Full

Sacred2-UK-2_34_0_0-Full

Sacred2-UK-2_31_0_0-2_34_0_0

 

Should I be moving these files to a specific folder?

 

Thanks for the other answers too.

You can rename folder or just move to a different location...no need for it to go anywhere special

 

 

As far as patches go...this should be the one you want

Excellent stuff, thank you very much for this.

Now off to see if I can get my bonded mount. *holds breath*
