It would be nice if we had finer control over individual graphics options.

Maybe I discovered some helpful information:

In the "options.txt" file, which is in my "~\AppData\Local\Ascaron Entertainment\Sacred 2" folder, there is a section called "render".

This section includes all render settings, including the key 

glow = 1

Unfortunately, setting this value to 0 has no effect; here is what I have tried:

• Add a line "render.glow = 0" to optionsCustom.txt
• Edit the value directly in options.txt and set this file to read-only.

There is also a "video" section with some keys that could be relevant.

Your first post here and its a helpful post to a member...

Welcome to DarkMatters, scavi!

Thank you for the nice welcome!

I want to add one more thing I found in another forum (source: https://forum.pcgames.de/videospiele-allgemein/9310991-sacred-2-v2-43-0-loesung-um-bloom-deaktivieren.html).

It's in German, so here is a translation:

 In the installation directory, there is a folder called "scripts". In this folder create a new file called "optionsCustom.txt" and add the following line:

glow: 0

 

Honestly I am not sure if that actually changes something. However, I am very new to the game and maybe it helps in the areas you are talking about.

To avoid the jaggies, I have just disabled anti-aliasing all together.

Thank you for all the testing!

In Sacred 2 Gold, you can disable bloom by setting render details to medium (or lower) in the graphic settings.
