Additional Hints WIN7/64, may also help on WIN8/10
Sacred 3 is known to crash a lot randomly or having FPS problems. This gave me a headache too, but i think i got some useful hints on that. The below seemes to help. When disabling DLCs you wont be able to play them but at least you can play the main game.
– Game crashing randomly
—- DISABLE DLC’s (You may try to disable one after another)
– LOW FPS or inacceptable FPS
—- DO NOT USE Compatibility Mode on sacred3.exe (XP ect)
Make backups of keen_savegame_0_0.sav , just in case.
PS: Absolutely great Hack n Slay game, big noise, huge explosions, excellent graphics ;-)
