Try using the regular English version(U.S., America, whatever) NOT the international version.

This might not be the source of the problem, but I used the regular one, NOT international and it's fine for me.

Don't get your files from anywhere but the official site.

Don't forget to install the Patch ON TOP of the Sacred PLUS download!!!!

After the patch, rename your sacred.exe to sacred.org. When you install the no-cd crack, DO NOT overwrite your sacred.org that you just made!!! :P

The game functioned normally but the graphics were just messed up. :eek:

The game was intended for the XP operating system after all. Can't complain too much, my original cd hasnt broken yet and I've been using it without no-cd cracks since august 2004. :D

Hopefully, there will be a good no-cd crack for win98se users. But I'll gladly switch over to the xp operating system if someone wants to give a new computer. ;)

same problem with you man i'm using winme and the characters look like alien things. how do you guys fix this :mad:

Make a backup of the original with Alcohol and profile ProtectCD5.

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.

This works very well, even though it takes like a minute to load. I actually own the game, but lost my cd. I've fooled around with all of these hacks and can never get the right version. I'd rather just do this than mess around with all of this anymore.

Thanks for the tip, man. You rock.

:confused: i have sacred plus ENG exe but your crack is CZE, it dosent work for me
screen become black, Sacred v1.8.26 [ALL] No-CD/Fixed EXE dosent work for me :mad: :mad: :mad:
thank :(

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!

What is CAF.DLL? I know there's a trojan running around called Backdoor-CAF.DLL. It's a little worrisome, despite my being protected by BOClean, that I'm not sure why this file is necessary.

Hey guys, sorry for bumping, but the international version of Sacred Underworld should be out by now. From what I've read on the official forums, people in the US don't seem to be able to get a hand on a copy yet, and I also don't know if the UK-Version is out for two weeks already (i assume not, but anyway, the german one is out for approx. 2 months), so this won't be a request, but what I really like to know: anyone of you got the UK-version? Is it 2.21, like the current german one? And if so, has anyone found anything different about the cp from classic Sacred?

Yes, I have it..I ordered it from the UK...it is 2.2.1

There is a wayd to evade the protection, provided it was burned with VOB5-ProtectCD

Read the rest of the forum to figure out how to do this....

could somebody help me with cracking my sacred.
i'm really in trouble. :(

I cant find a crak to my version of Sacred plus (1.8.31) :confused: and no one of you has the same version! i have tried everythin you has discibed in this tread, and this is the first game i cant crak! plz help! i has the english eurpean version.

When i try to start sacred i get "Disk verifycation error" help plz

i guess it works now!

This is what to do:
1. Install the game
2. patch the game with the lastest patch (the one for multiplay)
3. rename the orginale Sacred.exe to Sacred.org
4. get the patch from GCW (GameCopyWorld.com)
5. copy the Sacred.exe and the Caf.dll files from the patch archive to game dictory
6. Remove the ...Sacred.exe line from chkfiles.txt
7. Play!

If im not rigt plz tell!

Cracks still not working

I just bught a copy of the sacred +plus+ game and tested all the cracks.
They all do not work.
My version running the original exe file shows version 1.8.30 and seems to be an english(US or UK version) with scandinavian help docs.
When running a crack and starting a new game the screen becomes black as mentioned before in the forum. When running a saved game no people are shown. They seem to be there because the game runs like normal using the mouse.
When running the "special" image crack I can't even start the game it askes for a key. In the crack is spoken about a key.reg file that is missing. Using the the key that comes with the game it does not accept this key.

So far the testing result.

Hope someone comes with a working crack.

- Even though im not a professional at this sort of thing, even i can tell the the global version of the EXE and Res files makes a difference.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
same thing here anyone know a fix to get this working ive updated to the latest version and tried all the ways listed to fix but no dice

Help... Please...

I think I have a worse problem than you all, The game loads goes through the cinematic and when its loading I get a black screen, and it takes me back to windows to send error report? Could the problem be that I have 256 Ram? I dont have enough? My video can play it fine because it plays WoW, FFXI and stuff.. So do you think its my Ram?

Edit::

Minimum System Requirements

# Operating System: Windows 98SE/ME/2000/XP
# Processor: Pentium III/AMD Athlon 800 MHz
# Memory: 256MB
# Free Hard Disk space: 2 GB
# CD-ROM Drive: 4x speed
# Video: 16MB DirectX 8 compatible
# Sound: DirectX compatible
# Input: Windows compatible Keyboard & Mouse

Now I am confused because thats the min req, There is something seriously wrong with mine...

Try running the game without a no-CD patch and with the original CD. If it still crashes, there's a problem with the game and/or your PC, so contact the game publisher or refer to the official game support forum instead. If it works, quote the exact error message you get with the no-CD patch.

i do all and when i start game i dont see char so wtf :eek:

my Sacred UW v2.21 has soooo many bugs:
-i have 7 people in my party, and ALL of them are from previously FINISHED quests. (i don't know why they just wont go away, and two of them cause quest failure when they die!! arrgh!)
-numerous unfinishable quests
-random unkillable enemies(i do damage but they seem to be in god mode or something)
just to name a few.

so i want to update to 2.24 but i cant because the 2.21 crack doesn't enable multiplayer and i only play in multiplayer mode so all my saves are there... grrr..!
i hope a crack for 2.24 comes soon.

actually i can play with the original CD but then i couldn't use it in the 2nd computer for multiplayer.. heheh.. so PLEASE PLEASE to those kind expert souls who make these heavenly executables... 2.24! :D

ok so do we have a working crack if so please email me info as to how to obtain it. eklipz18**********com

i don't know if it's already known, but the german version (v2.25) works great with a simple nero image mounted in DT4.

crack don't work

the new crack for sacred underworld or gold 2.0.2.21 ......it starts the game alright but all the characters look like stick people its skewing up the game somehow. the game plays fine without the crack. i tried it on 3 computers with the same results and i have been using cracks for years so i no how to use them.......

I'm having problems getting the no cd patch for Sacred Gold (English version) working. I recently bought it from my local store back in January. According to the readme it is saying I have ver 2.24 ASE. I have been trying to use The sacred underworld 2.0.2.22.1 no cd patch. I have followed all directions. The game loads up fine and my characters show up in their right form (instead of stick figures) but when I actually start the game after the intro movie the screen shows up with my character on it then goes black. I checked for the chkfiles.txt but could not find a file named that in the sacred underworld directory. Can somebody please advise me on how to fix it. Please send me an email to [email protected] if you know how to fix this problem. It would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Try without a crack; if it still crashes, contact the publisher. Also, read the FAQ!

Sorry about that. I forgot to add that it works fine without the no cd patch. I would like to get the no cd patch working though so I won't have to lug my cdrom drive around to play it. Also, which faq are you referring to? Any assistance on how to get the no cd patch working for this version will be greatly appreciated.

anythiong people...i thing i give a good decr. of the problem...too large in my opinion but the worth one

best regards to all of you

I've been playing Sacred Plus 1.8.2.6 with the no-cd crack for a while in Windows XP. This was on two separate computers. I tried to install it on a third Windows 2000 computer and I'm getting the following error when running sacred.exe after applying the crack:
The procedure entry point RestoreLastError could not be located in the dynamic link lybrary kernel32.dll.
Will the crack only work with Xp?
JJ

Search for SND's "RestoreLastError fixer" utility. There are links to it in threads of this forum, too, as far as I remember, just search for "RestoreLastError".

Sorry...
I didn't care to read through 10 pages of "the crack isn't working for me". I guess I should have. The snd fix worked.
Thanks...
JJ

BTW...
I was skimming through the Sacred manual and section 3.1c says that you can make 1 copy of the original cd for use as a backup.
What's the point of giving you that right if the legal copy won't allow the game to start?
JJ

Hmmm, perhaps, when your original breaks, you give them a phone call, they come to your place, the boss of the publisher signs your backup himself and then it will magically start to work (the laser verifies his signature). :)

just a simple question...

i've just bought the game...

just a simple question:

is the sacred plus patch included in the expansion sacred underworld?

i have only a dial up connection so it kinda suck to download the whole 130 mb file and it will be a better idea if I buy the expansion instead.

I'm sure I'll gonna buy it in the future anyways...

Sacred Underworld Version 2.21 Gameserver.exe

For those of you who have patched Underworld to 2.24 and use the 2.21 NO-CD (Which works by the way) you may have noticed you can't host multiplayer games. You can connect to anyone running a 2.21 multiplayer game though and if you use a 2.21 version of gameserver.exe, you can host multiplayer games and connect to them as well.

http://www.upload2.net/page/download...erver.exe.html
Here is a link to a 2.21 version of gameserver.exe for Sacred Underworld.

FYI: the new patch 2.28 for the german version finally removes the CD/DVD check!

And the English Sacred Underworld v2.28 to :D

Yep, confirmed, no VOB protection on the 2.28 English patch. Can't see why developers don't remove protection on later patches more often!
