Zettt 12 Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Hey Guys Is there a standard guide for getting the Steam version of Sacred 2 Gold to work these days? A lot of the questions are from a few years ago, and a lot of the advice on Steam is not a walkthrough guide. With Sacred 1 I could use dgVoodoo and followed the steps and everything worked. My friend downloaded the game and is trying to get it to start up. Would probably be Windows 10, but I can check, could be 7 or 8 too. Z Link to comment
RetsReds 64 Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Mm, I don't know about Win 10. I'm still on Win 7 and when I had trouble starting it up for the first time years ago I just needed to update the nvidia physx driver from here: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/physx/9_10_0513/physx-9-10-0513-driver/ Then just add the community patch and you're golden. I hope that's the problem for your friend too, but I don't know about Win10. Good luck! Link to comment

RetsReds 64 Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Not to my knowledge. It does help with the "playing issues", however. 1 Link to comment
ameaeth 50 Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 I installed Sacred 2 from steam about a week ago and installed CMP160 directly after and it runs smoothly. The only thing I did was restarting after each step and starting Sacred 2 once before installing CMP. Is anything not working? 1 Link to comment

bhav 28 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 What I've found is that the game will not launch from Steam but it will launch from a shortcut to the EXE found in Sacred 2 Gold/system/sacred2.exe This is after installing the community patch as well. 1 Link to comment
Androdion 875 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 You need to run the game for the first time after a clean install, and only after that do you install CM 1.60 on top of it. Steam version should run with absolutely no problems on Win 7, Win 10 can need some extra mileage. 1 Link to comment
