Ok.. A bit more information might be helpful.. Things like: a.) Windows version? b.) Patch level for Windows? c.) ANY error messages? d.) What else is running in the background? e.) Anything in the Event Viewer logs (application section) that might tell us more? Throw us some meat with the bone - so we can get you up and running... Link to comment

Didn't see the reply. OK.. So you've got Windows 7 64 bit.. So what about the hardware? CPU? Graphics card? You can find this in the Device Manager - found by clicking on the START button, then typing DEVICE MANAGER - and clicking on the result. Assuming you've got the UK version of the game - given you've said that you've gotten the Ice and Blood expansion. You mention that your game is at 2.43. This tells me that Ice and Blood hasn't been installed as yet. If so, your game would be at 2.64 or 2.65.1 or 2.65.2. You might try installing the expansion and at least the 2.65.1 patch. This makes the game more compatible with Windows 7. See the instructions for how to do this correctly here... Also, in addition to this, you might want to try making the game think it's running under Windows XP SP3 by modifying the shortcut to run in Compatibility mode. Right-Click on the shortcut on the desktop and go to Properties. Click on the Compatibility tab and tell it to fool the game into thinking it's running under XP... Link to comment

wolfie2kX 528 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 (edited) My System Specifications Operating System: Windows 2.6.1.7601 (Service Pack 1) CPU Type: Pentium® Dual-Core CPU E6700 @ 3.20GHz CPU Speed: 3.22 GHz System Memory: 4 GB Video Card Model: NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM v1.1) Video Card Memory: 2.24 GB Video Card Driver: nvd3dum.dll Desktop Resolution: 1440x900 Hard Disk Size: 465.66 GB Hard Disk Free Space: 297.93 GB (64%) Download Speed: 2.28 MB/s (19.1 mbps) Ok.. It's all pretty much stock gear. Nothing jumps out as being problematic by itself. Except perhaps the video RAM. You've got a 64 bit OS, NO 4 GB limitation and your video card is sucking up 2.24 GB of RAM? If that Nvidia 8600 GT is built into the motherboard, that means over 1/2 of the RAM you've got on your motherboard is going to the video.. NOT a good thing. On the other hand if it's an add-in card, it could still be sharing system memory. There's no good reason to have 2.24 GB of video RAM with only 4 GB of system RAM. With games like Sacred 2, you're better off with more system memory than video memory AND tone down the graphics level to minimum... In the mean time, did you read the rest of my post above and apply the steps in question? (I.e. install the expansion Ice and Blood and patch to 2.65.1)...

lujate 578 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I do not see anything about that camera that looks different to me, but I have not played with the default camera in a very long time. Try this thread and see if it helps. Link to comment

lujate 578 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 what I want is a view thats behind the character instead of diablo view Click and hold the mouse wheel, and then you should be able to adjust the camera position by moving the mouse. Link to comment
