Sacred 2 on Windows 10

[IIMaesTro 3]

Greetings. I've started this topic because tomorrow I'am about to install Windows 10. I want to now, Is there any problems with that and Sacred 2? Maybe Is there something I have to know to play Sacred 2 without troubles?

Windows 10 is a good update however, to date I have not been able to get Sacred 2 Gold Edition to install or run properly from Steam.

There was a discussion in this thread, Help Sacred 2 Gold (steam) don't start (starup error) where some solutions were offered. Toward the bottom there are links to the Steam fora where more than one workable work-around is offered. One of our members reported success with one of the solutions there.

I correct myself, the Community Patch fixed my problem, it took some tinkering but you apply the CM patch and set the sacred executable to run as admin and I used Windows Vista compatibility mode and alll is well.  Got the patch at https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4NHnU5igGLnWmRYNWdyRGg5MU0/view

 

Note there were a couple of errors that popped up while applying the CM patch but the game still worked.

I run the GOG version without issue. The original commercial version ran, but it gave me a DRM error on startup.

I don't use compatibility mode. Works very well on my Win10 Pro
