Sacred 1.6 crack (english)
 
I cant find crack for sacred 1.6 :(. Can somebody help me?

Timber78 19-04-2004 03:38

let me see into the future .... oh, i see this thread will be closed soon.

I'm sorry, but there ist actually no no-cd crack for v.1.6 out.

wait and stay tuned

Ryynis 19-04-2004 03:40

ok

Timber78 19-04-2004 03:43

I'm also waiting :-(

but that's life ......

guod 19-04-2004 14:14

1.6 patch changes almost nothing. 95% of it is "Fixed EXP for ..."

is that something you cant live without?

Furthermore, do you think there's a link between the release of a patch with an _updated_ protection soon after a cracked version comes out?

phatboy3179 19-04-2004 14:45

On the scared forums 1.7 is estimated to be out at the end of april. I've put my game aside until they finally get around to finishing the game. :mad:

RincewindTheWiz 19-04-2004 16:30

I'm promoting this to sticky status, but I'm going to change the subject to include all Sacred version cracks, since phatboy3179 is right : the patches will continue to get out every week/month for the next half year at least.
I'll take this opportunity to remind people that Daemon Tools 3.46 can succesfully run an A120% image with patch 1.5, uncracked. I don't know if it'll work for 1.6 though.

I cant wait for 1.6 because 1.6 patch fixes performance broplems that I have. I think that 1.7 will fix some mp problems so I dont care because I dosen`t play the game in net:p, but if there is critical changes in sp then I have to get that patch too and crack for it.

BabyOxide 20-04-2004 08:05

nope 3.46 doesn't seem to work with 1.6.. i tried all the options.. but correct me if i'm wrong ..
mean while i'll see what i can do with v1.5 no cd crack .. there shouldn't be too much of a difference i hope..

BabyOxide 20-04-2004 10:57

man i have no clue at all.. i'm back to 1.5 =)

krondike 20-04-2004 11:14

You can always put in the original CD:s!

BabyOxide 20-04-2004 20:04

yeah but it soo slow.... after loading everything into the harddrive i have no idea where i placed it

beside 80 gigk drive gives me way too many space lol

now i have to hunt for it ? nah i rather stick to DTs and 1.5
it loads in less than 10 secs
especailly usefull when i kept quiting evry horu or so ..

thomast 20-04-2004 22:39

There are some bugs which stops you from totally progessing in certain stage while in 1.6(so says members in their forums) but not in 1.5 that is what I read. I think they quickly ship out 1.6 just to stop gore cheats & no cd workarounds.

I rather continue 1.5 until I see what major fixes they going to do in 1.7. Ain't it great that developers have their priorities straight. Stop gore & no cd cracks/workarounds while secondary targets are check and see if patch works or breaks stuffs not to mention actually fix major issues.

Breaks my heart, looks like another bugs infested game released too early without any testing done IMO.

BabyOxide 20-04-2004 23:08

i totally agree,, thats what i tot too when the no cd thing doesn't work

This is exactly what I ended up doing without even realizing it. A game like that is a game where whenever you crack it they come up with a different patch.

I don't think I'm willing to go back to fetching CDs everytime I want to play a game, I even went and bought 2 120GB HDDs just to put copies of the CDs on the HDD for all those Fixed-EXEs. It wasn't a total waste of money as I will eventually go back to playing it, I just finished NWN and SOU and still playing HOU (Still havent touched on the community stuff) and I've been putting it off for the same reason.

I think the crack for 1.6 will come faster this time but by that time people will already want one for 1.7 because of all the bugs in 1.6 and because it is just too hard to go back to using the original CDs after tasting no-cd.

Some people have a compulsion to download the latest patch (even if it's a beta) or the latest gpu driver (just for the benchmark scores) and are not willing to roll-back to a previous release. I have the 1.5 no-cd but no will to actually PLAY the game. But that's just me.

XrealgarX 21-04-2004 03:36

Game companies should learn that cd copy protections are NEVER going to work, it's a waste of time and money to develop them, they'll always be cracked.

Also, most of the time their cd copy protections are faulty and hurt the average guy who buy the original more than those warez users, take sacred for example, numerous people with the original are unable to put their game to work. There should be some law to punish these companies, also, isn't it illegal for sacred to decide what program you can or cannot have in your pc, that's ridiculous you can't have alcohool to play the game, not even micro$oft took such measures yet...

While they waste a lot of time and money improving their crappy cd protection so even ppl who bought the game need to crack it to play, the game keeps getting more, more and more bugs. I don't really know if I'll ever buy another ascaron game, since Ill have to crack it to play, and I'll not be able to take advantages of MP features since my connection doesnt have port forwarding and sacred needs it to work, and I can't do it cause I don't own the router, it's from the ISP that don't allow me to do it (d2,cs,every other game doesnt need it, they work perfectly).

They even dare to say sacred will be pay to play, ridiculous... Who will pay for this game with WoW coming out ?

Sacred is great IMO, but their administrative decisions are horrible and killing the game.

You should know we all have a giant panda pet that loves to eat our original CDs.

Thats why we all need cracks! I'd have thought this was obvious. ;)

darkhelix 21-04-2004 17:07

All I'm going to say here is that I own the originals and couldnt even get them working with the original cd in the drive. The reason I want patch 1.6 is that 1.5 has a lot of graphical errors that affect some people's configs, including mine. I have a lot of random model errors that appeared after the 1.5 patch was applied. People on other forums say this is just the patch and that 1.6 fixes it. One thing's for sure, Ascaron isn't very helpful when looking for patches.

There is a 1.5 final patch that fixes the graphical errors, but I haven't been able to find a version that works with my game, as I live in Australia and only Australian patches work on my game. The rest say "This patch is not compatible with your version."

The filename of the patch is "sacred_ena_1.5" which has an ena for Aus. I also have tried every other patch including the eng one, which is the UK which should be the one sold in Aus. So I'm just saying us in Australia have sort of been left out.

Anyways could people stop posting stuff in this forum like "PLEEZ CUN U PUT 1.6 PATTYCH PPL CUZ IM 2 KOOL" because when one comes out I'm sure something will be posted here. Well, you get the idea.

Ryynis 22-04-2004 02:46

PLEEZ CUN U PUT 1.6 CRAAACK PPL CUZ IM 2 KOOL :p

I find every day new bugs from the game or is it just my imagination :confused: :) :confused:

darkhelix 22-04-2004 03:13

:mad: GRR

Yes, this is like the buggiest game I've seen. A great game, but shouldn't have been released for at least another few months.

BabyOxide 22-04-2004 06:09

seriously, it isn't the worst really!, i've seen much worst..

erm the guy with the patach problems. did you replace the .exe with the original one before patching?
sometimes some games its cos of that,, i doubt sacred is another (bcos auto patch works find anyhow) but who knows.

i used the auto patch included but you need to install it .. think its call rtpatch or something like that..

darkhelix 22-04-2004 06:12

Nope my problem is totally patch related, other people are having it too. If you look at the ascaron forums there is a problem called the "Stickman" bug with 1.5, which is what I'm having. Please don't tell me you think I'm stupid enough to patch a crack.

mach7 22-04-2004 08:41

Paying money for games like this.... makes me.... so..... very..... angry.....

Ryynis 22-04-2004 11:13

What stupid is in patching a crack because I did it and I didnt get any error messages :D

Some games have patches that replace old files with new files (sometimes without checking what the old file is like or if it is missing) and some games use a system that modifies old files into new files. Trying to patch a cracked/modified game that has the second system is going to result in an error or some unexpected behavior.

The majority of games just replace the old files with new files so it won't be a problem to patch a cracked/modified game, people get used to it, and are surprized that some obscure error like "patch failed" (no reason) appeared.

Most of the errors are obvious enough though ("game.exe is not the right size" or "game.exe CRC error")

Always back-up the files the crack will replace. (saves from re-installing the game just to get the original files)

darkhelix 22-04-2004 17:50

Thank you Mr Tbehar. ;)

BabyOxide 23-04-2004 10:48

NOW THATS what i call a SUPER DETAILED EXPLANATION!!!
*lol*

tbaher 23-04-2004 13:07

This is getting really off-topic, but I found that when people explain something casually, it starts a totally off-topic debate about something so irrelevant, that the mods lock the thread with "this thread is going nowhere".

You also have to be really careful not to insult anyone unintentionally (but that's just me ;) )

darkhelix 23-04-2004 20:00

Well all I can say is, everyone keep an eye out and post something to do with a 1.6 crack when it appears.

BabyOxide 25-04-2004 02:40

1.6 is full of bugs, and it took them long enough to figure out 1.5 no cd, they be better off doing 1.7 then wasting time on 1.6

i think producers put more effort in cd protections then in
game-wise creations, if you noticed for noticeably many games, the ever sucessful thing that they do is prevent the no cd crack working version to versions. bugs/plots errors are secondary to thier mission.

if they'd spend more time on game features, thier games won't be so expensive, they would have more games to sell thus more profit, now, they are wasting time energy and money on cd-pros and to be cracked in what ? 1 week after the game launches.? and they never learn the lessons..

tho i would say its a good thing they ever invented cd-pros to some extend it secured thier financial income(but so far, pointless), its getting out of hand, like what some guy mentioned, ascarons determining what you should and should not have in your system ..

i guess the game producers so far that is sucessful is probably those producing games like, UO, EQ, ME, CS, M59, AC, notice all online games requiring a cd key / serial /paid acct to log in.. (AND THESE GAMES DO NOT EVEN NEED A DARN CD TO RUN) except D2...,

V_LESTAT 26-04-2004 23:03

as baby said, the only true deterent is to require a unique cd key for online games.

for playing offline,, well,, they could find a way to make super unique keys like microsoft does, or use 1024bit encryption as ms does with some of their files,


copy protection isnt a waste of their time, if they gave up on it, they wouldnt have star force, which as we are all seeing is taking alot of time to break.

but as with everything else, it will happen.

i hate using a cd as much as anyone else, but get over it.
90% of the people crying about a cd crack are the tards who downloaded the game and 1) are too stupid to look in the bin file for he crack, or 2) are too stupid to read the NFO on how to burn it. or 3) are using some crappy burning tool or dont know how to set up their tools.

even the latest safedisk is 100% 1:1 copyable. if you set up alchohol 120% correctly.

use the cd quit cryin.

unless you have something like Painkiller which is an absolute copy protection nightmare. refusing to isntall or play even WITH the cd in the drive. for some people.

Ryynis 28-04-2004 03:55

Ok... I dont need 1.6 crack anymore... now I need 1.66 crack!!!!!:D :p :)

sharrukin 29-04-2004 12:37

Damned, when is gonna 1.6 crack show up anyway? And by the way, what happend to *************?

gold24 01-05-2004 12:14

hey no sweat crack1.7
 
well no need to worry soon in a few weeks a new patch will be released from the company which will fix all bugs especially those nasty bug of quests and then we will wait for the crack to xome out for now i guess we put game away..:(

fastyslartbart 02-05-2004 03:10

Well I just got this game out of a bargain bin and after reading this thread, i think i know why it was there. The autopatcher says 1.2 is up2date. Website (game is German - that explains a few things) says 1.66. GCW has 1.2 b4 1.5 etc. I'd rather take it back, but I can't (cos of you chaps j/k). I'll just not bother.

...

Yeah I'm not gonna bother.

....

...

Where the hell is that crack???


ps some of us are in australia. Make sure it works for us or i'll sick my platypus on yer.

Eagle 02-05-2004 03:41

off topic: I bet the regular and quick updates piss the crackers more than the protection itself :)

gold24 22-09-2004 09:18

well the 1.7 patch is out hopefully...
 
well hopefully that now the official update for the game 1.7 final update is out the crack will come very very soon:)

XrealgarX 23-09-2004 02:56

Seriously I don't care for any more patches they make for this game, you're gonna play 1.7 and notice it still is full of balance problems/bugs, I think I'll just wait for the expansion to look at this game again, cause maybe they'll make the expansion work better...

They should seriously change the infinite power of items, it's soooooooooo easy as it is, just like playing d2 with hacked stuff.

If anybody is thinking on buying this game, then DON'T, it looks nice but is NOT any nice to play... Such stupid bugs as finding items saying class specific for YOUR class and at the same time saying wrong character class made me despise it, and playing with the CD, seriously, it takes SOOOO much longer to start the game that you lose interest in playing by the time it starts cause it gives you time to remember of all the annoying things in it...

If they would release the source code for this game and let people mod it freely a GEM would come out... So many simple things that can be done and make it terribly better...

BabyOxide 24-09-2004 22:52

man
 
the game doesn't suck (unless you replay it for like 6 times,,,)
the balancing doesn't post any difficulties to me either as i a lousy gamer anyway.

but the bugs and "black" quests really pisses me off, the occasioanal dissappearance of the item pictures, and some of the other stupid bugs
