The Only Sacred Plus English No-cd Fixed Exe Thread! Do Not Open New Ones...

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??
