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

[King Dutka]

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.

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.

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.
