[quote name='TheHelp']Anyone that bought Sacred 2 run into an issue where nothing will render?
When I start the game at the title screen the only thing that I can see other than the logo is some golden pig tailed hair. Nothing else will render.
ATI Catalyst 12.6 w/ Radeon 6870
W7 x64
Tried all of the suggestions that I could find (Compatability Mode, Windowed Mode, -skipopenal, etc.)[/QUOTE]
I don't have an ATI card.
I have Nvidia (1GB GeForce GTX 560 Ti).
Never had rendering issues.
I did have stutters, freezes & crashes, though.
Here's some things I did to stop those issues:
1. I had turn OFF high-texture pack in-game (which came w/ Sacred 2: FA CE [USA]).
I read Ice and Blood doesn't like it on some forums somewhere, basically - especially since there also is no high-res textures for Ice and Blood portion of the game.
Turned off Elite setting in-game; went back to Default.
2. Disable Visual Themes & Disable Desktop Composition
Right click on for your game EXE or Shortcut. Left-click Properties; go to Compatibility Tab; and check the boxes to Disable Visual Themes & Desktop Composition.
These being ON can be a problem w/ games that came out BEFORE Win Vista and 7 - so it can be a good idea to shut these down on older games, if you have issues.
3. I had run the game in Win XP SP2 Compatibility Mode.
Win XP SP3 mode didn't do the trick w/ solving issues for me; but this Compatibility switch to Win XP SP2 mode did the trick, though.
4. I forgot - I also set Sacred 2's Shortcut/EXE Properties to Run Program as Admin.
I don't know if this'll help all or any your ATI issues, but I'm hoping it might some bit help...
Good luck!
