[ SACRED 2 STARTUP SOLUTION HERE SACRED 2 NOT WORKING SOLUTION HERE ]

Hi everyone, 
I bought Sacred 2 (for the second time because deep silver.......) and finally began to play it at the end of 2018 and I figured out a solution on my own for the starting problem.

I use Win10 64 bit.
 

I went to 

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Sacred 2 Gold\redist

then installed all three programs manually:
- DXSETUP.exe in DirectX folder,
- PhysX_9.somethingsomething.exe in PhysX folder
and
- vcredist_x86.exe in VC folder.

I didn't need dxsetup and vcredist, but run them anyway.

THEN

I set the compatibility mode to Windows Vista.

WHICH YOU DO SO:

1. go to ...Sacred 2 Gold\system
2. find sacred2.exe
3. right click on it, click PROPERTIES, go to compatibility mode, set to win vista but you can try win 7 too, press ok.

Another strange problem is with Wi-fi connection, as I need to turn off wifi on my computer (2 clicks, so not much of a work) before starting the game. When it loads to main screen I simply alt+tab and enable wifi again and no problems.

This game deserves love and this is the way you can love it even if it's a bit shy at the beginning.

Cheers!

Thanks for this post, Speedom, Sacred 2's helpful community in action!
