Patching Sacred 2 : Fallen Angel

[Nils K.]

Hi,

I just installed Sacred 2: Fallen Angel on my Linux Mint 14 64 Bit System using Wine 5.28 without problems, following the instructions in AppDB (Gold Rating!).
The problem is that I'm not able to patch it from 2.02 to 2.4 which is needed to get the Add-On installed. Someone has similar issues or knows how to solve this problem?

Hope for answers, cause I'm tired of deinstall / reinstall it^^

Hi,

I don't know the game, but in the appdb there's a certain order mentioned, in which the updates are to be installed, see http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... &iId=14454 (search for "Updating fails")

That information is really old, so comes without warranty.

Thans for your reply,

I already tried to install the "small" patches beside the "big" from 2.02 (retail, box version) -> 2.40. Both variants didn't work until now.
I have the german version of the game (original + Add-On)..

Hm, seems even under windows many people are having problems updating this game.

You could try to run the updater (and wine) from command line and post terminal output in this forum.

http://forum.sacred2.de/showthread.php?t=70559 mentions creating a patchlog, though I'm not even sure, if it would work under wine.

Updater didn't work either..

Terminal Output:

~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Ascaron Entertainment/Sacred 2 - Fallen Angel $ wine Sacred2Updater.exe

Sorry, by updater I meant the specific .exe, that patches the game from e.g. 2.0.2 to 2.10.

If you have a windows installation, could you try it there?

I noticed that your path does not ressemble to mine (french version) ?

Code: Select all

[tuan@AthlonIIX4 Deep Silver]$ pwd
/home/tuan/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Deep Silver
[tuan@AthlonIIX4 Deep Silver]$ ls
Sacred 2 - Fallen Angel
[tuan@AthlonIIX4 Deep Silver]$ ls Sacred*
drache.jpg        locale       Readme.txt          Sacred2Updater.exe  video

Keymap_small.jpg  Readme.html  Sacred2Updater.dat  system
[tuan@AthlonIIX4 Deep Silver]$ 

the game directory should reside under Deep Silver/Sacred 2 - Fallen Angel
the patch worked well for me

There is a difference between the retail versions of the game. I bought the game published by Ascaron, there's also a "Gold Retail Version" of the game published by Deep Silver as i know.

Patching in Windows 7_64 bit worked fine up to 2.43

If it worked in windows with exactly the same files, then it probably is a bug in wine, please file a bug report.
