doomstick86 0 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 If your having trouble installing patch with steam version just uninstall the patch and verify game cache then install the patch. Its what I had to do. im using no mods. Link to comment
DAOWAce 1 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I'm assuming we just download v150 and apply it to a fresh install, as v140 is clearly outdated and anything above v150 appear to be unreleased test builds. That's right. It's up to the creators to upload the new version to DarkMatters downloads. And what about the OP of this thread? A month later and it's still a mess with broken links. The Dark Matters download is still 140. Link to comment
CapnTucker 29 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 (edited) Well, I uninstalled the Steam version, and reinstalled the GOG version. Tried the V0150 CM patch again, and this time it worked. Weird, as I did not do anything different. As the GOG version is I&B 2.65.1, I thought I would install the 2.65.1 - 2.65.2 patch found on this website. Soon as I tried to run it, it told me I have the wrong version of Sacred 2 installed. What the hell? GOG version also installs a legacy version of PhysX. What is the reason for this? The Steam version does not do that. Another bizarre thing the GOG version does, is that it tells me it is loading the game with Windows 7 Basic color scheme (I have Win 7 Ultimate). The Steam version never did that either. I can now play the GOG version, but not being able to have the v2.65.2 build is irritating, as is the Win 7 Basic weirdness. I will see if the GOG version is more stable than the Steam version. If it isn't any better I will go back to what I had and eliminate the Win 7 Basic nonsense.. Edited January 22, 2015 by CapnTucker Link to comment
King Angel 69 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Don't matter if you have version 2.65.2 or 2.65.1, I have version 2.65.1 GOG and works fine with CM Patch 1.50 (version 2.65.2 just fix chat) and for you problem with Windows 7 Basic color scheme to fix this right click on shortcut or exe in game folder ( Properties---Compatibility---->uncheck Reduced color mode) 1 Link to comment

The options are: Run in 256 colors Run in 640 x 480 screen resolution Disable visual themes Disable desktop composition Disable display scaling on high DPI settings All but the last two are already unchecked. ?

CapnTucker 29 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 (edited) Figured out what the problem is. The popup I was getting also says "a program is running that is not compatible with windows aero". The program is the sacred 2 exe. It disables aero only while Sacred 2 is running. There is a box to check so that you no longer get the popup message. I guess there was something in the Steam version that automatically disabled the message? So now everything is running well except the GOG version of the game cannot be patched to 2.65.2 for whatever weird reason. Edited January 24, 2015 by CapnTucker Link to comment
Flix 5,116 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I've never patched the game beyond 2.65.1 and I've never had a problem in 5+ years of playing since 2.65.2 only fixes one thing. If you're not playing in multiplayer and using the chat there's no problem. 1 Link to comment
pigulici 7 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I allways disable aero on win7, some other games have issues with aero running... Link to comment

If you're not playing in multiplayer and using the chat there's no problem. I know 2.65.2 only fixes chat, I'm just a completist and like to have my games 100% up to date. I can live without it; the GOG version with latest CM patch is up and running, so I'm good. On a side note, any word about CM v0160? I saw something about it on a German fansite and was wondering..

Popular Post Flix 5,116 Posted January 25, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 25, 2015 I understand the feeling. Just trying to alleviate it. CM 1.60 has been in development from the moment 1.50 was ready to go. This was because there were still new issues being reported and they didn't want to delay 1.50 anymore (it is a special "tenth anniversary of Sacred" release). Registering on the Mantis Bugtracker is free. You can read all the issues that get reported and see how they get fixed. 2 Link to comment

Popular Post Flix 5,116 Posted February 7, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted February 7, 2015 I keep getting a error when I try to patch to CM 150it fails to patch sacred2updater.exehow do I fix it Just going to quote this in case it helps you. The Item Mod replaces nothing in the game. It simply adds to the variety. The Mod added a large number of new models to the pool of random items because they were not interesting enough to make them into new uniques, but it set them to spawn alongside the original random models, not to replace them. Everything that was originally present in game can still spawn just like it did before Item Mod and CM v150. Also, for everybody who struggles to install CM v150 over V140hf - while complete reinstall of course helps to solve the issue with CM not being able to update itself correctly, it is not always necessary. Some time ago Marcuswob uploaded a CM Reset tool which can return any version of the game to vanilla Ice and Blood 2.65.2. You can grab the tool from his Google Drive here: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B6mWJPtqErDcdFJfR1VlM202ek0&usp=sharing&tid=0B6mWJPtqErDcSkg0eGdubGdVaHM 2 Link to comment
Saraphima 34 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 I'm about to install 150. What do I have to do before and after for it to work properly? Also what is 160 about and what state is it in? Also will it be able to update 140 without any problems? Link to comment
pigulici 7 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 I think the best it is to uninstall v140 first... 1 Link to comment
Saraphima 34 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 ok just put in 150 and all my CM related items are all gone now Sometime if there was something wrong either the tooltip/icon would show but no model or vise versa but now I get neither of those. Link to comment
Achilleslastand 5 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Just installed 150 CM Patch over a fresh install of the game as well as the Diablo 2 mod. When I start the game the CM patch updater initializes and wants to patch. Weird! Any ideas? 1 Link to comment
Flix 5,116 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 (edited) I think it's caused by Diablio 2 Mod. I suspect I changed so many files the CM updater doesn't recognize the version anymore. Just ignore it, I know it's annoying. If you've got CM 1.50 you're up to date. I actually just deleted the CM updater from my folder to stop the thing from popping up every time. No bad side effects. I'll put a note in the mod so people aren't confused by this. Edited April 22, 2015 by Flix 1 Link to comment
