100% New Player - just Purchased Sacred 2 gold


Recommended Posts

Hi, I am a diablo 2 player, I am new to Sacred, I'v purchased Sacred 2 Gold.

 

I heard about community patch and other mods to improve (graphic I guess) the game.

 

Can someone tell me exactly what should I download to have the best experience of this game ?

Hello Grandmaitre, I would advise you to install Community patch v0160 on Sacred 2 Gold http://darkmatters.org/forums/index.php?/files/file/91-community-patch/  (just execute cm-enable.exe to install it)

After that you can instal Elite Trimmed Textures if you play on Elite graphics settings (optional)  http://darkmatters.org/forums/index.php?/topic/23091-trimmed-elite-textures/

If you play in 4k, you have to edit the options.txt located in C:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Local\Ascaron Entertainment\Sacred 2 and change the line

hardware_mouse = 1

to

hardware_mouse = 0

else the cursor won't appear (the AppData folder is hidden by default).

You can also edit the camera settings from the options.txt http://darkmatters.org/forums/index.php?/topic/8767-guide-to-customizing-the-sacred-2-camera-view-and-optionscustom-txt/

The CM patch disables some physx effects, if you want them back, just replace the cm physx file with this one (rename it physxExt.zip first) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JTG3KjZIEVBxBng2aMzMD5Eh7O0EHZBB/view?usp=sharing

I advise too the great Portrait overhaul https://www.nexusmods.com/sacred2/mods/26

You should now be good to go.

After that if you want, you can instal the Enhanced Edition https://www.nexusmods.com/sacred2/mods/1

Or if you prefer another experience, as a Diablo 2 player, you can try the great Diablo 2 Fallen http://darkmatters.org/forums/index.php?/topic/22654-rel-diablo-2-fallen/

There are lot of others little mods, check the Nexxus but compatibility is not always ok, so read descriptions.

Good game, enjoy Sacred!
