Humble Sacred 2 Gold modding

[rufusdufus 2]

Hi all, great site. I have owned sacred, sacred gold and sacred 2 for some years. I was recently tempted into buying Sacred 2 Gold Edition download from the Humble Bundle site because it is or at least was on offer for $2.74 (just under £2) and after an initial hiccup where there was a problem with the 13GB .rar decomp. to around 5.5GB and of course not installing, it took a week or so for me to get them to admit the problem and replace it. I have at last got it on my system running fine. It was then when looking around for info on what difference and extra content I should expect from my Gold Edition I discovered your site and learnt about the possibility of modding this fine game.

Can anyone tell me if I can use your community mod on the gold version, also I have some saves from my retail disc version of sacred 2 Fallen Angel which appear to be available in this new download of the Gold version. Will the mod make these saves redundant.

Thank you.

Edit-forgot to mention, Don't know if it makes any difference, this humble edition of Sacred 2 Gold is DRM free.

That would largely depend on if it's the UK (international version) or the US version. Somehow doubt they'd be releasing the US version in downloadable format at this stage.

 

The CM Patch requires a fully installed and patched Sacred 2 Gold.. This would include Fallen Angel as well as the Ice and Blood expansion AND all of the relevant patches that may apply. Assuming the downloadable package has all of these included in the package.

 

As far as the saved games go... They should be just fine under Ice and Blood and with the CM Patch - but keep in mind two things.

 

1.) Ice and Blood nerfed a LOT of gear stats. Stuff that had Life Leech, for instance, had that stat cut in half.

 

2.) The CM Patch may also have an effect on gear and definitely has an effect on quests and their outcomes.

 

As such, be sure to have a proper backup of those games - and your game chests if you ever feel the need to be nostalgic and want to reinstall the old Fallen Angel... They won't work once you've opened and saved the game under Ice And Blood and the CM Patch.

To me, "Sacred 2 Gold" would imply that it comes with I&B. I have a DRM-free copy from GOG.com. It installed with all the necessary patches, and the CM Patch installed just fine.

Thanks for the replies. It seems to have worked OK, no error messages and it starts as normal so I expect it to work as it is meant. It is the UK version.

It's really easy to spot the US vs UK (Int) version.. The US version was released by CDV and as such, has the CDV logo when you start the game. The UK version came from Deep Silver (this was, mind you, before Ascaron went bust and DS bought them out.) and sports the Deep Silver logo on start up.

 

The other way to spot the difference.. Look in C:\Program Files\..

Glad you picked up our favorite game Paul, have fun with the modding, and welcome to DarkMatters!

I would tend to agree. However, the Sacred Gold package I have came as a 2 part installer - one for the basic Fallen Angel, the other for Ice and Blood - and the patches weren't included... Not entirely sure how it's distributed these days. Hence the long winded description..
