[Sacred 2 1.5GB commit size crash]

Nope. The fix is hardcoded so there isn't a simple workaround. Flix is working on a "purist version" of the CM Patch though, which should be online this month. Check its thread.

That's a pity about the fix. Thanks for the link though will keep an eye on that one!

[Sacred 2 1.5GB commit size crash]

After trying just about everything that exists(probably spent like 30+ hours at this point, trying to diagnose and fix the issue) I can't seem to play without crashing. Also, at least from my observations, the actual memory in use is not what's causing the crash. It only happened when the 'commit size'(see Task Manager) went somewhere over 1,500,000 K. It's possible that it's due to excessive fragmentation. One thing I did find(on these very forums) is that the community patch will fix the memory issue once and for all. Is there a way to fix it without installing the patch(like some standalone memory fix)? I'm quite a purist and do not want any content/balancing etc that wasn't in the original game. Bug fixes are of course fine, but I do want to experience it in its vanilla and intended form, as I'm sure many others do too.

Thanks for the extensive reply. I am however very familiar with regedit and Windows though! I don't have the entries you refer to. Maybe it only counts for the non-Steam version and/or a different locale of Sacred 2 or possibly a different OS...

I searched the registry extensively, and found the correct entry to edit(for me). This entry (again, for me)resides in HKEY_LOCAL MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> Wow6432Node -> Ascaron Entertainment -> Sacred 2. For the record I have Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and the UK version of Sacred 2 Ice & Blood. Adding a \ to the end has fixed the launcher problem for me!

Not a techie so if I understand you wrong...ignore everything after this

 

If your steam version will not launch....open up the Steam window (double click on desktop icon) and click on Library. Right click on Sacred 2 Gold and select Properties. Click on the Local Files tab and then click on Verify Integrity of Game Cache..

 

That procedure worked when Grim Dawn update broke a file and I couldn't start the game.....maybe it'll help you or least point you in the right direction

Thanks for that but I have no problem launching the game from Steam, only from Steam through the Launcher...

Thanks to you also Wolf for the welcome

I could upload it but since the original uploader removed/disabled the file I'm not sure if I'd get into any problems re-uploading it... Any idea who is the creator of it?

Hmm.. Good question. Truth be told, I have no clue as to why it's not available at this time. But... I have put in a note to Marcuswob and Czevak and we should hear back from them shortly.

 

in the meantime... If you're trying to launch from a standard desktop icon, or one from the Start Menu, the fix should be relatively easy. Assuming there should be a \ between Gold and System, it's only a matter of right-clicking on the icon on the desktop and selecting it's Properties. On the Shortcut tab, you should see a text field that's called Target and the path to the executable (sacred2.exe) should be in there. Simply edit the path to include the \ where it's needed.

 

You can also verify the location by clicking on the Open File Location button below that. If the path is correct, it should pop open an instance of Windows Explorer to that folder and should highlight sacred2.exe in the process.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean there. However what I mean is I start the Sacred 2 Launcher and then click Launch within the launcher. However the game will not start because the path shown in the launcher is incorrect and I am not able to edit it...

Hello folks!

So I was looking around for the Sacred 2 Launcher since I needed the auto-Ctrl+F1 thingy and noticed I couldn't find a working link anywhere online. I then realised I have it on my PC from a long time ago. Does anyone know why it's not available for download anymore?

Another thing that someone might be able to help with is when I start the launcher(I'm using the Steam version of Sacred 2) it wrongly detects the executable path(D:\Applications\Steam\steamapps\common\Sacred 2 Goldsystem\sacred2.exe - note there is no \ between Gold and system). How do I go about correcting this?

Much appreciated,

K.
