  1. Ok, you were absolutely right, there are 2 things related to physix in the config file, and it seems I disabled the wrong one. After disabling both, I've been running the game fine for days. I even raised the memory almost to its original values without problem. Thank you.
  2. Thanks for your suggestions, I tried disabling physix to no avail, maybe that's what's causing the graphic card problem, but since I have yet to see a problem with it in the game then I enabled it back. What I'm talking about is not a lower framerate all game long, I'm talking about a sudden drop from 60 fps to 1 fps after around 1 hour of gaming. And what I just found out is that teleporting is the only thing, except exiting, that will stop it. So the question is; what does teleporting do to stop the problem? Maybe it reset some memory element like monster spawning or something similar, then it would be a matter of finding what is the associated memory parameter I should increase to, if not stop it, at least push it back. There are 6 memory parameters in options.txt, any idea?
  3. Not really a bug, but more like a new problem I'm having after playing about an hour. The game is running fine and all when suddently the framerate drops from 60-70 fps to something like 1 fps usually causing my death because when that happens I'm always in a battle and monsters and health bar and movement and healing and spells all lag in an insane mess. When I do survive to a safe place, it doesn't stop the lag however long I wait; I have to exit to the main menu and go back to the game. I'm asking in case someone else know what the problem is before I start tearing everything apart since I'm not motivated to start such a quest just now. I installed sacred 2 gold with the latest community patch and moony's challenge mod, nothing imported, fresh characters and stuff (the first 10 levels are incredibly difficult...) All options are to the max with physix on, I edited the configuration file to limit avaliable memory to 2/3. That setup worked perfectly fine for hours with sacred 2 gold no community patch no mod. Is it possible that the community patch or the mod eventually overload that limit? I noticed a few things: It happens while raging nimbus is on, but that may just be a coincidence, or a catalyst. At some point the game decided to take 5 more seconds to load (black screen before getting to the menu, it does it whathever there is a save or not), but If I remember well, the slowdown hapenned before that, still, the game may be corrupt and I may have to reinstall. My graphic nvidia card sometimes goes bunk; this never hapenned with any other game, but If exit sacred 2 and open my drivers, they sometimes don't respond wathever I do; I have to restart the computer. It changes nothing to anything though; all games work perfectly fine including sacred 2. Still, I may have to update my drivers again (like every few weeks...). Nothing else unusual, any help is appreciated.
  4. Darn! I installed moody's mod and everything went to hell because I just realised I never installed the community patch! So I deleted the whole game and my characters with it, I'll start anew. As for the learning curve, it's not that hard when you think I just dropped X3 TC... But I got to say your site is full of very useful information.
  5. Thank you, sorry if I didn't answer earlier, was heavily caught up in the game and didn't notice... I'm an old gamer, seen it all, never in a hurry to play a game, and it's always cool to have people keeping such sites alive and well since I'm always 2-3 years late... Presently my game is going very well, no crashes at all, I rushed a high elf through the story twice to start playing in platinium, like I did in sacred 1, and since I have an easy time at level 65, and no perception or bargaining (I kept the last skill slot open to bargain "cheat" every 25 levels until 150), then I decided I would try the more monsters mod ; always a fan of monsters hordes, since doom 1...
  6. Sorry, I looked at the wrong place, everything is fine. I hate it when things like that happens...
  7. I don't know if it is a bug or what, but after googling a few hours I found no answer to my problem. I started a dragon mage yesterday, and after reaching level 15 and doing much exploration, I still don't get a survival bonus. The thing simply don't show in the bonus overview. The same for finding magical items from taking the perception skill, but I read somewhere that this is normal, I'm not sure, what I got is a 0.3 in white. I play hardcore at silver and the game version is 2.65.1 Everything is probably normal, but since I found nothing on the subject, I don't know. I don't want to continue this game if there is a bug so any info would be greatly appreciated.
