simply thats the point...
there is nothing to ply for the moment... nothing like it... it could be exactly the same as diablo2, just new name and it would bring fun altogether... the time for release was a good one... that's the main point...

end of the month far cry comes out, end of the monthe splinter cell sequel will hit the charts... no time...
sacred had the right time for such a game...

Where to put the Base.dll from the Soudrinker-file??? Can't find an original one! Replaced the exe file, game loads but screen fades black after starting a new game (character is shown shortly before screen goes black).

Version 1.0, Win2k

No Problems if I use original Cd with old exe....

Thanks a lot!!!!

There is no original Base.dll file for the game,it's a new file for the nocd patch.

Now to my question... has anyone able to get this game working by mounting the iso to a virtual drive so the game thinks the cd is in the drive? I made a backup copy of my cd 1 and mounted the image,i've tried D-tools,and alchohol but neither of them seem to work as it uses VOB protection,any ideas?

I been searching for hours,translating german pages trying to find anything that i can. cause,the only reason i got teh game was to play it multiplayer,and to be honest it's pretty bug ridden without the 1.0.2 patch...

I also hear rumors circling around,that all SCSI drives were blacklisted with the release of the 1.0.2 patch so mounting a cd image would be impossible,anyone confirm this?

some people say scsi has been blacklisted... that i don't know... it is possible...

alcohol, daemon or something like that is not blacklisted... i tested it... even if some people say so...

as i know nobody has been able to mount an image... but some people were able to make a copy with clone cd and alcohol... but that are says from boards... i think it is possible that there are some copys... but only on specific burner with much luck... nearly all say they have to start the game twice or more until it works with the copy...

For me, i currently play DUNGEON SIEGE - LEGENDS OF ARANNA.
It is still my most favorite game !!!

yeah... nice one... but didn't take too long...

Bye Uncle Cracker

If u like...
 

my personal view of things

Diablo2 - LOD
Story - ok but not needed to get addicted really
Items - best Items in any game ever, many pre and suffix, awesome amount of uniques rares and sets
Characters - very nice, many classes with even many different ways of gameplay and tactics
Monsters - huge amount of enemies with many skills and many many bosses +the level endbosses (with high droprates ^^)
Multiplay - Awesome - it has lags yeah but to play with many others kicks ass (mostly of enemies :D)
Grafics - ok - nothing special

Dungeon Siege
Story - not really usefull - missing videos
Items - nice view from outside, but only useless crap (like rings with 5 to mana, 6 to mana, 15 to mana) only usefull stuff is yellow rares but they are all the same, uniques are missing, the new sets suck (2 items = 1 to Int, 3 items = 2 to Int, etc -.-")
Characters - No classes, it was a new idea to become a class in dependence of what u use (weapon or magic) but this even sucks later on in the game because the magics are not really usefull
Monsters - ok they are nice and vary alot (like the environment) but the bossmonsters which appear are nothing special - the last endboss is lame
Multiplay - is nice because of the grafics and the feeling, but to fight in groups dooesnt fit well because the exp sharing is not seen - only nice thing is the follow mode for lazy players
Grafics - best in the genre I think

Sacred
Story - is ok and leads the gameplay
Items - nice view, nice varieties, class speciffic items, sets are rare and not really usefull - but nice to have :D
Characters - Nice classes with good new Ideas, but if u look closer many skills are the same, fighting technics are fine but leveling sucks because u cant really skill what u like because u need special skillitems to higher skills, leveling up chars isnt even usefull when u dont get skill items
Monsters - nice but the variety is missing, they look very different, because they can be equipped with all items u can find (wepons etc), they dont vary much but keep getting stronger, the appearence is nice and the sounds are cool ^^, need of bosses yeah - that sucks meanwhile
Multiplay - is very funny but in this state of developement (I call it that way because of the bugs) not playable
Grafics - very colorfull and nice, environmental sounds are cool too, but if u know dungeon siege it seems like a 3dimensional Diablo


I think Diablo2 is most addictive, the other games are more like fill the time u are fedup with diablo - till u want to play t again ^^

----Buglist of Sacred will follow----- but I am tired right now

______________Sorry Mister Moderator - last Off Topic thing____

I got the english global.res file working with the new patch and no-cd.

How you may ask ?

Open up chkfiles.txt and find the entry for global.res

Find the md5 sum and replace with d8d92e1cf115240104043c1829710e2a

Replace the global.res from the english demo just like before.
(you need to do this again because the patch overwrites the old one)

You can now play the game in english !!!

Anyone want to get some multiplayer action in ?

join #sacredmulti on effnet

Did anyone download the crack from there, and can mail it to me?
The crack's webspace has reached it's maximum bandwidth...for this month :(

Uncle Cracker, upload the crack elsewhere, not at Arcor webspace!

Edit: Got it.

I need that 1.2 crack too. I'm currently trying to download it from emule but there's only one person who has it.

So could someone upload it somewhere or send with e-mail?

I was sending the crack to GameCopyWorld a few hours ago.
Perhaps it will be available tomorrow... but surely in the next update.

It may take couple days to appear GameCopyWorld website, so could you or someone else possibly send it? I and my friends are really needing this...

Hi, I updated it on my webspace, i will keep it only for a couple of hours :) Everyone has the right to zock...

Crack works fine!

-link deleted-

u sorry it didn't work for a moment, wasn't complete, now you can download....

mplayer
 

Anyone else having trouble with GameServer.exe since the new patch? Each time I create a server (LAN) as soon as I join it the gameserver.exe crashes. Seems only to happen in 1.2 or 1.0.2 or whatever ;)

Even if I create the server in-game it crashes as soon as the game starts.

Not sure if this has to do with the latest noCD or not, thus I ask here.

I'd be careful with this new "crack".

Some folks on ReCracks.de boards say that the version which shows up in the bottom right corner in the Sacred main menu is 1.2.0.0 with this crack. And this ain't possible, because current version is 1.0.2.0.

Very suspicious...maybe some guy just hex-edited the old crack and only changed the version number :o (and didn't have any clue about Sacred and the real current version ;) ).

Well, I didn't try it out for myself, just downloading from ReCracks.de (found new DL url on the boards there).


Edit:
Just got informed that this crack is from MYTH. So no hex-editing guy ? :confused:
I'll check it out now.

Edit2:
First test worked without CD, but showing up wrong v1.2.0.0 version. And...really strange...SOULDRiNKER logo appearing at startup. Would MYTH release such a crack??? There isn't even a readme or something like this included, why the heck should this be from MYTH?

I think it's a fake.

Because the new crack works fine, and the old one worked crappy.... -> This crack is NEW and does WORK
no one hex-edited it, don't spread suspecting

maybe its edited, because maybe the old one had a simple mistake in it

but youre right its from souldrinker, maybe he improved it ?

Ok, then...please explain why the cracker has changed the version name to v1.2.0.0. If this is really a new crack, then the original .exe should be version 1.0.2.0.
Why was this changed to 1.2.0.0?

Why should the version name even be touched, it should stay the same, if the .exe is the right version .exe, and not the one from v1.0.0.0.

Please convince me.
And just because the game loads and runs for a while (real testing should last some days, at least), it doesn't mean the crack is fine.
FIFA 2004 v1.1 did run with the old v1.0 crack, too. But some v1.1 features where missing. Maybe it's the same here...perhaps some changes in the new sacred.exe missing?

Anyway, if you use it, it's ok. Don't want to argue with anyone about that.

But I won't use it...don't want my characters being cooked up.

I've got the "new" crack and the fade-to-black is gone, but all NPCs are missing and savegames don't work. :(
I think it's a fake, a little bit edited maybe, but nothing more!

Youre right O.K. but for me the crack is wonderful, because I waited 2 weeks to play the first time, and the first crack didn't work, the new one explicitly does!
I also don#t want a quarrel.
And if we weren't so unpatient, we should wait a couple of weeks, then several game updates and cracks will solve all our probs :) But by now, we are all only beta-testers....
( I have the damn original CD !!!!! Damn 45 euroes...)

It's not the first time SOULDRINKER has "stolen" a crack.
The file is really cracked by MYTH/DEViANCE . SOULDRiNKER is a "Warez-Release-Group". They take cracks and use it for their releases...

And now to the "Version-Number-Problem".
THERE IS NO PROBLEM!!!
When i go here : http://www.ascaron.com/d/service/index.html
and then choose SACRED from the left drop-down-menu, i can download from four servers a "1.2.0.0.exe" !!!
So the version number 1.2.0.0 is correct.

Right, but when you look into the readme it says "Stand: 27.02.2004 Version 1.0.2.0"!

- the update file is V1.2.0.0
- the version number in the game is V1.2.0.0

- the version in the readme file is 1.0.2.0


It's 2:1 for V1.2.0.0
everything fine ....

yeah same here...

It starts the game in singleplayer issues and u can play on ur own in Multiplayer...

but connecting with others isnt possible with this crack...

dunno if it depends on this mysterious crack or the update itself... but I guess it must be the crack oO

for me it does the following:

I open Gameserver - one connects - my PC freezes right away
I open Multiplayer-Game - others cant find or cant connect to it

maybe it too crack related: Chests etc in multiplay are empty all the way...

it sux... I hope this faker will burn in hell -.-"

Sure, but look here: http://sacred-game.com/changelog.php?s=

Did you make sure to use the new base.dll as well? I had that problem too until I realized the DLL had been updated too.

the version if you patch with the patch file 1.2.0.0 is 1.0.2.0... i patched it, i used the original cd... and if you look down in the right corner and there is 1.0.2.0... that is the patched version...

so if the crack brings 1.2.0.0 there is definitly something wrong... maybe it works but in the original it is 1.0.2.0...

i just tested...

Yes, but the NPCs were only missing with Gladiator, with the Vampire-Girl they were there.

and now we have a new problem... new patch ^^°

YES, we need now a NoCD-Fix for 1.0.3.8. please !!!!

just like I said before...

so I guess a "real" crack will come out soon

- the version number in the non-cracked game is v1.0.2.0

- the version in the readme file is v1.0.2.0


Seems like it's 2:1 for v1.0.2.0 :D
Oh, wait..."Einer geht noch, einer geht noch rein!":
Patch v1.0.3.8 came out today! Guess it's 3:1 for v1.0.2.0 :)

Btw, today's patch filename was FUBAR again..."1.3.0.8.exe".
Dunno who's naming the files over at Ascaron, but it's definately a complete DAU.

if i got it right, the patch seems to look after virtual drives especially... i think ascaron states that people who have virtual drives or daemon tools installed cannot play after patching...

The crack is for v1.0.0.0.
 

I am sorry to dissapoint you, but I read the changelist in the readme file and it is stated that a Vampire that is exported when transformed into a vampire in v1.0.0.0 could not be changed back. However, this was fixed in v1.0.2.0. When installing the game, updating to v1.0.2.0 and using the souldrinker crack for v1.2, the bug mentioned above is still there.

Conclusion: Souldrinker did not only steal another group's crack. He also edited it so that people would think it was a crack for the new version. Hope someone cracks the new version soon.

Re: The crack is for v1.0.0.0.
 

Ok, maybe they (SOULDRiNKER ain't no single person) did "steal" the first crack, but where did you get the information that the second crack for v1.0.2.0 from ReCrackS.de was published, or made, or whatever, by SOULDRiNKER?

ReCrackS.de says it's from MYTH, so if you blame someone for the fake, it should be MYTH. By the way, I don't think it's from MYTH. But I don't know where ReCrackS.de get their cracks from, especially those which no other crack sites have.

Maybe home-brewed? ;)

Re: Re: The crack is for v1.0.0.0.
 

If I remember correctly, here someone wrote that with the start of the new EXE a SoulDrinker Logo appears.

Myth does not crack german games! Point!

One note:

On March, 23rd the US version of Sacred will be published.
Maybe then there will be a bigger chance to get a cracked patch.

Mhhh I search a Crack for the new sacred version 1.3.0.8?
lol new version new crack. I play than with the 1.2.0.0 crack until there is a new one.
