desm 329 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Don't do it if you don't feel it, it can be risky depending on what OS you have on your main partition.It is worth it if you plan to play Sacred2 or D2F a lot, else it can be troubles than anything else... Link to comment
Androdion 875 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Nah mate don't worry, I'm an IT guy (was a few years back). Ironically enough I couldn't make my mobo recognise the PATA HDD... Spent a couple of hours around it and nada, zilch. Anyway, if anyone else wants to give it a go you can install the two architectures of Win 7 without making any harm to your system, it's just select new partition make new install. Now if you want to make a XP install with Win 7 already loaded... That will give you some work, but from what I've read its feasible as well. Link to comment
Popular Post Flix 5,116 Posted April 27, 2017 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 27, 2017 Some of the spells are completely transformed by PhysX. Try Mortifying Pillory (or Dim Vision in D2F). Without PhysX there's this weak little green light that shines for a moment. With PhysX enabled, this humongous green tidal wave cascades across the screen. It was gorgeous. I may try to make a gif of it later. By the way, thanks for the tip about assigning PhysX to be handled by the GPU in the Nvidia control panel. That seems to have made it stable on my system. It's like I'm playing a whole new game now. never seen that wave! gogo Here's a video of it: 2 Link to comment

He asked that I remain motionless here so that he might use me as a model for one of his most recent sculptures. I had hoped that he would excuse me soon after having remained motionless for such a very long time. I do not know how protracted a period of time it finally came to be, for I finally fell asleep in a standing posture. When I awoke it was nighttime and I could not recall at first where I was or what I had been doing." 3 1 Link to comment

Popular Post Hooyaah 2,817 Posted May 4, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted May 4, 2017 "Dear Journal, today an Orc shaman performed a ritual deep within a chill and clammy Za'Zuruik cave which allowed the watery domain of the fearsome Octagolamus to drain, which it did forsooth and very quickly, indeed. Then, weakened without the support of the water surrounding it, I was able to vanquish the over-sized, horrid, tentacled creature. The orcs were so very appreciative and seem to treat me as something of a heroic celebrity now. I was only doing what had to be done and requested that they make the most of my deed." 2 Link to comment

Popular Post Hooyaah 2,817 Posted May 18, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted May 18, 2017 "Dear Journal, today I was traveling in the mountainous region located south and east from the Three Winds Winery, not far from the domain of the huge and hideous werewolf Bloodclaw. I happened upon a serene and lovely lodge, nestled on the mountainside where I suddenly discovered the allure of such a rustic and remote location. The view was lovely indeed and the pervading sense of quiescence here was so calming that I actually began to relax. I took this opportunity to bathe and sooth my muscles in the steamy waters of the natural hot spring located here. I do not recall such a time before when I was so at peace; I will have to return here again someday and stay for a more extended length of time, perhaps just after I complete my five year plan. 3 Link to comment

Popular Post Hooyaah 2,817 Posted June 10, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted June 10, 2017 I finally (and long overdue) installed the Sacred 2 Elite Textures and from now forward one may notice the enhanced detail in my posted screenshots. It's really impressive when one admires all the elements in the game, Buildings, armor, the NPCs, paintings, and, well it seems everything takes on a new, fresh look and feel. Just compare the image above with any of my earlier posts. 3 Link to comment

I love this Hooyaah You've kicked up the posts quite a notch by having the textures...I remember myself when running it it would always crash or hang it like adding a fresh coat of paint on everything... big yum! gogo 1 Link to comment
Hooyaah 2,817 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Here is another example of the vastly improved quality of the visual elements when employing the Sacred 2 Elite Textures. For instance, note the Heraldic Banner of the Thylysium Senate. One may nearly "feel" its texture with ones eyes. 1 Link to comment
Popular Post Hooyaah 2,817 Posted June 24, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted June 24, 2017 Having upgraded to a 42" HDTV and a 4K rig (NVIDIA GeForce 1080 Ti) I can now take some spectacularly clear and vivid screen caps. The Elite Textures practically offer an HD gaming experience. Here one may even notice the "sparkle" in the lifelike eyes of the High Elf. 4 Link to comment
