Hello everyone! As the title says - I have a common problem with Sacred 2, it always freezes after alike 1 hour of playing, I can turn it off only via logging out or waiting it to close after crashing, hovewer, sounds of monsters, music etc remain, only my screen freezes. My computer: OS: Windows 10, 64 bit Intel i5 6300 HQ, 8 GB RAM, 2 graphic cards: one is the integrated Intel within the processor, second one is nVidia GeForce GTX 960M with 4 GB memory. I was searching across the whole Internet to find a solution, even thought about looking in darknet (lol), but here is a list of what I did to try to make Sacred work well: 1. Renamed files LaptopGaming_vista.dll and LaptopGaming_xp.dll to LaptopGaming_vista.dll.BACKUP and LaptopGaming_xp.dll.BACKUP. 2. Used 4gb patcher on executive files sacred2.exe and s2gs.exe. 3. Set compability modes of executive files sacred2.exe and s2gs.exe to Windows XP Service Pack 3. 4. On my HDD/Users/PatrickS/AppData/Local/Ascaron Entertaiment/Sacred 2/options.txt edited: maxFps = 0, to maxFps = 60, (thought, that I don't really need some additional FPS, 60 is just fine, and the Sacred will use lesser memory), additionaly, set: } end if not manager then manager = { animMem = 0, grannyMem = 0, pmsMem = 0, secMem = 0, sptMem = 0, texMem = 0, } 5. Within properties of "My Computer", in advanced options I set system to work at maximum efficiency. 6. On properties of shortcut of sacred2.exe on my desktop I added lines -skipopenal -nocpubinding, this file is running with administrator permissions and it is opened with maximized fullscreen. 7. Using "Memory Cleaner" software program. Sacred almost never reaches 1,2 GB of memory, it is strongly held at ~800 MB limit. 8. Updated OpenAL, nVidia drives, physX drivers to the latest editions. 9. Did a defragmentation of all partitions on my HDD. 10. Graphic settings in-game are all set to medium, Antialiasing, V-sync and physX are disabled. Trying to use basic textures, but game somehow always changes textures to these better ones (everyone calls it elite textures, I have Sacred 2 with polish language version, so I can literally translate it to minimalistic textures and better textures). 11. Make my laptop (lenovo y700) to work at perfect condition, it was never overheated (maximum temperature my software noticed was 72 Celsius degrees, with witcher 3). 12. When trying to play Sacred 2, disabling every useless application, fe. chrome, file explorers, aimp, etc. etc. Almost 13. - trying to install community patch, however, I don't know if it will work on polish language version.
