You can try FurMark

I used the default options and got this:

Spoiler

Fan reached 100% as well. I will try full HD with Antialiasing next. Guess this is a bad result for this resolution?

Unigine Heaven Benchmark is what I recommend

Thank you, will try this one next

I am curious, does your rig have trouble playing other games? Try disabling PhysX or go to the NVIDIA control panel and make sure that it's selected that your GPU handles PhysX, not the CPU.

Nope, other games work perfectly fine. I... don't think I have a NVIDIA control panel, I use an AMD gc and my AMD settings don't seem to have any PhysX related options.  

I will try disabling PhysX tonight, I usually can play about 1 hour before the crash, but I don't have enough time currently.

Right - and it seems to have a circuitry defect. No matter the game, such behavior from a GPU is a clear sign of a faulty product.

Damn. Can I test this in any way? I found GPU UserBenchmark via google, would you recommend this?

I still have warranty on my graphics card. But it will be hard to tell them it's broken, if everything but an old game works.

Doesn't look like a game specific issue to me. Yes, Sacred 2 is known to tax GPU, but with these symptoms in place, it appears that the cooling fails and your GPU overheats to the point of hardware failsafe(105 deg. Celcius, I believe). That means, you'll have to buy a new graphics card.

But... I just bougt a new one  It's about 1 year old, why would it not handle a game from 2008? But it really much sounds like that, especially because the game works fine for quite a while.

I don't have any issues with other games though. In the steam forum we are speculating if PhysX is the problem, because it's needed to run the game and I can't install it.

Hi,

 

I was recommended to post my issue here.  It's not really about the community patch since it occured before using the patch as well, but maybe someone can help me here.

I am running the game in compability mode Win XP SP 3 (originally Win 10) and use the community patch 1.60. It fixed most of my crashes and lags, but the worst ones still appear:

Randomly, without any announcement, everything crashes. Not just the game. My screen turns dark green and the only option left is shutting down my PC by force. Manually. I mean by using the reset button. Absolutely everything freezes.

I couldn't find anyone else having this problem and I am terribly afraid of destroying my computer by running this game.

Anyone else experiencing the same or knows what to do?


Thanks in advance for any replies <3

My graphics card: Radeon RX 480, drivers up to date

Can't install PhysX, running the .exe of the installer would just give me a box saying "text".

I use "nocpubinding" for starting sacred, "skipopenal" would just make everyone refuse to move, I couldn't move with W, S or mouse and enemies were stuck on place as well, so I removed the skipopenal command.
