I will repeat my post above just for FarCry -
Latest supposed no cd on GCW doesn't work either.

i have a copy of sacred the first version,with the no cd crack
for that its ok,but what and where i download the latest version of game,
because mine doesnt work(official site i download it)and i need the no cd that will work with it plz help someone its 4 time here i install it :eek: :eek:

and i got always innitapp error initialing directx ????

i am trying to download from GCW but when i click to download it says :
"Service Unavailable" .!!

i tried other servers but the same...is there any other place i can download from safak`s NO cd patch for ALL versions?

If one mirror doesn't work, try another. If _none_ of the mirrors work - quite unlikely! -, be patient and try again in ten minutes/one hour/one day/one week.

can you tell me,please,how to upgrade to 1.8.2.26 ? :D
OS: winxp
I have read whole thread,and still can't crack to this version,only to the 1.8.146 or something like that
:confused:

p.s. it is impotant to me that the language in game is english
Thanks !!!!!

some prob here
 

i got always an inittapp error initialising directx in sacred after install all crack can someone help plz

Latest crack works greatly...

First Install the game then download the sacred_plus_eng.exe then download sacred_eng_1.8.2.6_retail.exe from www.sacred-game.com...

Firstly Install sacred_plus_eng.exe then install sacred_eng_1.8.2.6_retail.exe

(backup your orjinal sacred.exe)

then use the Safak's latest crack so it works great on my machine...

(If there is a problem with your language version use this hint---> Start-->run-->cmd--> then rename sacred.exe to sacred.org then play game but use other files (cracked sacred.exe and caf.dll)

If you do not how to rename files follow these instructions

1-Copy orj sacred.exe to your c: drive
2-then Start-->run-->cmd-->cd.. enter cd.. enter then use this command
ren sacred.exe sacred.org

it is ready now and copy sacred.org paste to sacred's installed directory then play...

See ya

can you send me your game lolll
 

i have done all things you said its seem to work but when the screed goes black,ive got an error a square name sacred(master) said initapp() error initialsing directx.......why....i have directx.90c something like that the last one plz help me or send me your game if it work :P thx cya

i WILL JUST SAY ONE THING:

i have tried all the methods in this forums and in megagames forums and it didnt work and i kept having black screen.

BUT

the latest "NO CD FOR ALL VERSIONS" by SAFAK worked with me !!!!!!!!!!!!

i CANT BELIEVE IT IS WORKING NOW!! i feel i am dreaming :D :eek: :)

still have a problem.
 

i have completed this steps...

1- install sacred
2- update with sacred_plus_eng.exe and sacred_eng_1.8.2.6_retail.exe
3-copy safack's caf.dll and sacred.exe to sacred directory
4-remane old sacred.exe to sacred.ord and copy him to sacred directory

(i also tried this but with diferent order 1,2,4,3 and even whitout step 3 )

...started the game
... updchack.exe started
...sacred.exe mismatch!
...updade faild and in the upderror.txt is string :
Wrong File: Sacred.exe Checksum: 4fe56432e202e839d54b05cdf0233320
I can start the game but the version is still 1.2.146 :confused:

p.s i think that language in game is us
(in the scritps directory is us directory)

Ok, thats exactly my problem, after several tries to get the Sacred up and running and now 1.8.146

But dont know how to solve it? :confused:

the latest release for all versions U DONT NEED TO REPLACE any SACRED.EXE to SACRED.ORG...
IT IS FOR ALL VERSIONS which means :
1- install the game
2-update the game to 1.8**********
3- extract safak's crack files (all of them) (i.e : caf.dll + sacred.exe + sacred.org)
4- copy the 3 files over the sacred directory.
5- delete the sacred.exe from chklst
6- play!
voila :)
it works!
i tried all the other PREVIOUS cracks doing a lot of **** like changing sacred.exe to sacred org....blaj blah...and IT DIDNT WORK
UNTIL safak's crack done the magic! :D

Ive done exactly as U have described here and game works thats OK. :cool:
But... the version shown is 1.8.146, is that OK or something is wrong?

And one peculiarity: If I try the german crack on my eng version of Sacred everything works but version displayed is 2.8.146. What that mean. Is that better than 1.8.146 or both version numbers are errors.

Thanks for response.

i think every thing will be fine as this is the only crack *I THINK* that works well for all versions.

and about the german version .....it is really strange stating 2.8.146 ! :confused:
i think this is a conflict or something?
any way start playing the game and if any thing happened just tell us :)

@#@$$#%@ 1.2.146
 

i done everything like ancient78
sad and nothing.
sacred.exe mistmatch :( !
and 1.8.146 version again
i plaied for some time but no error detected.

p.s. updated with sacred_eng_plus.exe and
sacred_eng_1.8.2.6_retail.exe , but the same thing is with
sacred_eng_1.8.2.6_full

U have done everything OK but in addition you must delete the "sacred.exe" line in the file "chkfiles.txt" under your Sacred directory. And than thing might go well.

Try it

that thing not going vell,because i did that several times and i got same massage every time

i noted that one of my spell don't work
(battle mage -Petrification for now )

One more tip: Try deleting "chkfiles.txt" utterly. Backup first

same s***
 

no files were chacked but
v 1.8.146 is still standing :mad:
can't use Petrification :(
character is too slow but i think that is not a bag...
maybe problem lies in my sacred installation
or my language version ( i patched with eng exe although there is US folder in scripts folder :confused: ) who will know???

someone ... maybe !?

so that means that u actualy got the game to work and enter the world with out having problems??! COZ the only way u can know ur character is too slow IS by starting the game. and if this happened so what is the problem? OR can we ask it in a diffrent way: what is ur PC spec? cpu,ram,vga?

my game worked every time when i cracked but the version is not corect (1.8.146 insted of 1.8.26 )
and petrification (battle mage spell) do not work

cpu barton 2500
ram (ddr) 512 Mb
GeForce FX 5200
hdd 80Gb

R u sure that u tried Safak's crack for ALL versions?

i suggest u:
1- uninstall the game and then remove any strings from the registry related to sacred (but backup ur registry first)
2- after that install the game and install the patch (i have "sacred_eng_1.8.2.6_full " patch
3- extract Safak's crack to ur game directory (all the 3 files caf.dll ,sacred.exe ,sacred.org)
4- delete sacred.exe from the chklist
5- play!
it suppose to work "specially after cleaning the registry from any strings of sacred"

again and again
 

did all of this and version is still 1.8.146
i can start game ,new caracter,old save
but patrification works only when i export character and start new game or it works only on low-level foes , i don't know (there are no changes in fixlis at official sacred site ).

petrification deffinitly works on lower level oponents

yes it really works. i tried it. yeaaaaaaaaaaaa i can play without a black screen. all fine :)

maby can give a link to download Safak's crack ??

Hey aiknx, you're here on this forum but you don't know GCW?! Anyway, see http://spacetarget.com/games/pc_sacred.shtml .

Joe

L O L :eek:

ONCE UPON A TIME THERE WAS A SITE CALLED GCW ...and this site was great for tiny files called NO CD crack or FIXED exe ....

sorry for my lame....
 

after long time ive returned to sacred...i got old game disks, and a plenty of patches...ive tried many steps how to make it funktional....
i ve got eng. version...
could you please write me someone steps how to make it....

i patch it, , but the s.exe doesnt work, double click and nothing....could you pleease write me the processs

big thx :eek:

I have read through every single post on this entire thread, trying every single thing everyone had mentioned, and my game still does not run. I double-click Safak's Sacred.exe and all I get: The mouse pointer turns "busy" for .5-2 seconds, and then nothing at all. Not one single thing happens. No error message, no black screen, nothing. I am a very advanced PC user, having built several PC's of my own, ripped dvd's, ripped games, etc, but can't, for the life of me, figure out why I don't, at the least, get an error message. Before the crack, at least I was able to get the game to try to run (and of course fail the cd check). There is absolutely no way I have done anything wrong. I followed every bit of instructions, uninstalled and re-installed before every single thing I try, and I get nothing.

System Specs:
ASUS PC-DL Deluxe with a matched set of Xeon 2.4Ghz CPU's
Maxtor 250gb hdd 7200 rpm 1mb cache
2x512mb Centon RAM PC3200
GeForce FX 5700 Ultra SE 256MB video
Onboard SoundMax audio
Windows XP SP2 (latest build)
DX 9.0c

DXDIAG checks out, every single aspect tested ok

Please help, am desperate to play!

On a side note, does it matter "how" I update the game? (ie. Manual dl and install versus the 'in-game' updater app)?

WOOT WOOT!
I got it to work and I feel it important to tell you all the problem.

1. Install the game, clean install.
2. Go here and download TWO files: http://eng.sacred-game.com/downloads.php?
The files you need are:
A."Sacred PLUS download" (choose your language/region)
B. "Sacred 1.8.26 update" (choose the one that matches 'file A')
It is important that you get BOTH files! When you dl the first one, the file name suggests that it comes with the 1.8 update. While this is somewhat true, the update included will not suffice!
3. DL Safak's All Versions crack, extract all the files to your Sacred install folder overwriting any files it may ask about.
(If you need to update after this, just delete the Sacred.exe and rename Sacred.org to Sacred.exe. This will be your original Sacred.exe file for updates. Again, you probably won't need to do this until the expansion pack release)
4. Open your chkfiles.txt file, go to "edit", "find" and search for "sacred.exe". Delete the entire line of code you see that ends in "Sacred.exe"

That's it, run the game. The problem with previous explanations was in the PLUS file and the patch files. Nobody specified where/how to get/use them. Also, previous explanations used old file names for update files. This explanation is current as of 03-29-2005.

AAAAAAAARGHHHH!!!!!
Game is running, but is now broken.
I started a LAN game. The host is able to talk to everyone, but they ALL try to sell me horses, including the main story NPC's.
My client player is able to talk to the main story line NPC's, but they keep repeating their intro statements without changing. It is impossible to play the game in this condition. Why has this happened?? :confused:

Ok, I found the problem, again.

The "All versions" NO-CD crack on GCW has a bad "Sacred.org" file. Please follow my directions a few posts up with the following exceptions: After installing the PLUS add-on, AND the dl'ed patch, rename your Sacred.exe to Sacred.org. If you do so, and the icon for the file does not change, do the following: Go to top of the window and click "Tools", then "Folder Options". Choose the "View" tab at the top, then un-check the box "Hide extensions for known file types". If you do this, you will note your file actually says "Sacred.exe.org". Change that to Sacred.org.

Continue with the directions until you get to extracting the NO-CD crack. This time, ONLY extract "Sacred.exe" and "Caf.dll". The other two are no longer needed at this point. This will fix your game. Have fun!

Their is a way to play Sacred and Sacred Underworld with a backup CD. The way is annoying but it works for a lot of people.

Make a backup of the original with Alcohol and profile ProtectCD5.
Then use this CD and make a backup of this one with profile SecuRom3.1 (first, second and fourth box checked), 1x Speed.
When Alc starts to make the image start Sacred. After some time the game starts. Now cancel Alc.

Not pretty, not nice, but it worked with a lot of pcs... but i probably use the originals, thats too much effort for just a backup.

hi i got the ger sacred, not the original, xp prof, and i used this way to patch it
"Do like follows:
1. Download the CZECH !!! version (Sacred v1.8.2.126 (v1.8.26) [CZECH] Fixed EXE) from GCW
2. Install Sacred from your original CD and patch it to version 1.8.26
3. Save the original, patched Sacred.exe (e.g. for further updates)
4. Rename the original, patched Sacred.exe to Sacred.org (not Sacred.org.exe)
5. Extract the Sacred.exe and the CaF.dll from the downloaded Czech nocd (do not extract the Sacred.org... you still have one ... and only this one works)
6. Open the chkfiles.txt in your texteditor and remove the complete line including the Sacret.exe (c73b3130f18951c60505fe72bc7bf0e8 = Sacred.exe)
7. Download the "RestoreLastError Fixer" from SnD (simpy google for: restorelasterror fixer snd)
8. Start the Fixer and fix the Sacred.exe (the one you extracted from the nocd-patch during 5.
9. Start the Game and H4v3 fUn "

and the game starts but when i wanna start an campaign ,the chars are gone, what did i do wrong?
ps the checksumme thats what is named above ,was different in mein file!

hmm, it have the ger version too and i just installed it, used the ger update to 1.8.2.6 i think.. the newest one... started, for the updatecheck... failed... took the czech crack, replaced the sacred.org with my sacred.exe and started the game... works for me... i can create chars and everythings fine...

:confused: I downloaded the U.S. 130mb 1.8.2.6 update but the exe file is 1.8.2.16

Very Strange!

Hi!
This question could be stupid, but anyway...
I followed your instructions and sacred works well now, but i can't see any changes. I think sacred's version is still 1.2.?
Where can i see the version i'm playing with?

You guy, you are experincing the same problem as I have been. And the only viable solution to that is, try to guess :D , redownload the file and maybe from few differenet locations and it should be OK :cool:

Stay cool!!
