The affected files relate to graphics19.zip which is the high resolution textures for I & B if you have the Elite pack installed (Has issues of it's own due to poor memory management, don't use until the patch is out, progressing quite well and in beta now.)

ice&blood.zip which seems to contain some core data for the expansion despite it's small size, probably relates to the Dragon Mage being disfunctional.

Sector 16.zip, related to the map of the expansion areas, unsure what it actually does as the areas work fine.

Probably some other non .zip archive files as well.

readddddd:

its nothing to do with the crack....

unless they can circumvent all links to securom to do wtih win7 and this game then its still going to trigger a problem with the mage.. we need a fix first from securom/game devs (lol) for it to be re-cracked..

I'll perhaps need to clarify a bit more.

I have a Dragon Mage going after all, in Gold now but nearing Platinum, game bug isn't about Ice & Blood or SecuROM activation it's from version 2.43 and makes the game stutter on a x64 OS, mostly Windows 7 for some reason but all x64 systems are affected, can't read memory space properly or something like that.

Game itself will function and work as intended and so will SecuROM and activation but you only have one activation and if you switch to compatibility mode the OS is basically changed so it thinks it's on Windows XP instead of emulating it (Seen in the game log when you start, Windows information.) so it'll ask for a second activation which isn't possible, to work around this you need to revoke the game or contact SecuROM to revoke it for you (Which I did.) and then put the new Sacred2.exe file from SecuROM (Downloaded automatically.) in and put it under Windows SP3 compitility mode.

This solves most issues but it'll still crash and bug occasionally, however the patch appears to progress just fine.

So the workaround always was to rename DFA.dll (Activation core file.) and start the game which would then be unprotected (As a previous release of the game did.) but the encrypted files won't be read properly so data like the Dragon Mage character won't properly be read by the game.

Reloaded by cracking the protection most likely disabled or worked around this file thus the encryption system never initiates and the same problem happens. Smile
(Which is kinda what I've tried to explain and say.)

Not to say the game isn't buggy and the patch is a very low budget one with only a few former Ascaron employers (The company is bankrupt after all and their side studio for the expansion is now disbanded so it's down to the publisher which also explains why there's no console version or US release planned, it's dead after all although the current servers are maintained a bit by Deep Silver or CDV or who it is.) working on the most critical issues so don't expect miracles of it aside from better Windows 7 comptibility which is the main reason for one being created at all.

Sacred.2.Ice.And.Blood.Fix-RELOADED

Quote:
We missed a few files essential to this addon in our release. It wasn't
noticed during testing, as this is also a bug that affects this game in
Windows 7, even when properly activated. The bug in question is caused by a
part of Securom which does not work in Windows 7. That's right, the
publisher of this game implemented a feature to annoy the likes of us, while
leaving customers with a non-working game. Apologies for the messup, we
present you with a fix, which should also fix said bug in activated copies

Seems I was a bit wrong with what I said above then, nice to see it fixed anyway even for those of us who own the game as the limited one activation attempt every three months isn't that good of a deal. Smile

Unsure if this makes the game work better under Windows 7, the game functions but now and then it'll stutter (1 FPS basically.) and eventually crash, supposedly part of a change in how the game handles memory but only affects 64-bit OS's and particularly Windows 7 as far as I know though perhaps it's also part of 32-bit Windows 7 with some OS change Microsoft did to it?
(XP compatibility set to Windows XP SP3 does help but it will still be a bit unstable unfortunately.)

Limited what? Don't have any problems activating it more than one time per 3 months.
Did it 2 times yesterday.

So when performing a clean install, is this the correct procedure?

Sacred.2-RELOADED
Sacred2-UK-INT-2_40_0_0.exe
Sacred.2.Ice.And.Blood-RELOADED

?

Almost 3 GB on Ice and Blood disc are various upgrade and full patches -.-

Apparently you don't need the patches, as Ice and Blood has them anyway.

Yeah, but which one? This is the content of "patches" folder on DVD:

Sacred2-UK-2_31_0_0-2_34_0_0.exe
Sacred2-UK-2_31_0_0.exe
Sacred2-UK-2_34_0_0-2_40_0_0.exe
Sacred2-UK-2_40_0_0.exe
Sacred2-UK-INT-2_40_0_0.exe

Ok, first three are cumulative and update patches from 1.0 to 2.40 (and I'm missing the point here, why all those variants, why not only one patch which will upgrade fucken Reloaded's Sacred 2 to 2.40? Maybe boosting the image size for scene FTP credits?
Bloody mess.

Any thoughts on the gameplay with it? Are pure caster builds viable or is it the same type of melee/caster mishmash the Inq is?
