    7. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
    -----------------------------------


    Q: Where and how can I access/read the manual of Sacred 2?

    A: Normally, the game contains a printed and an electronic manual. If a
    friend has copied your version of Sacred 2 within the scope of the "Make
    your Friend a Copy" campaign, or if you purchased it as a download, you
    will only have an electronic manual.
    You can read the manual by following these steps:

    * If Adobe® Reader® (also called Acrobat Reader) has already been
    installed on your computer, you can access the manual in three ways:



    1. If you've got the DVDs, insert Disc 1 into your DVD drive and wait
    until the menu appears automatically. Click on Manual.

    2. After Installation, you can also open the manual easily from the
    Windows start menu (Start --> Programmes --> Ascaron Entertainment
    --> Sacred 2 - Fallen Angel --> Sacred 2 Manual).

    3. If the menu does not appear automatically, or if you don't have the
    DVDs, you can also start the file Manual.pdf from the main directory
    where you installed Sacred 2.



    * If Adobe Reader has not been installed on your computer, please observe
    the following steps.
    There are different ways to install the program:



    1. If you've got the DVDs, insert Disc 1 into your DVD drive and wait
    until the menu appears automatically. Click on "Acrobat Reader" and
    follow the instructions. After Installation of the program, the same
    menu will now show "Manual" instead of "Acrobat Reader". When you
    click on it, the manual will open automatically.

    2. If the menu does not appear automatically or you don't have the
    DVDs, go to the AdobeReader directory and execute the
    AdbeRdr90_en_US.exe file.

    3. You can download it from the internet: Go to http://www.adobe.com
    and click the button "Get Adobe Reader".



    --------------------------------------------------------------------------


    Q: I want to play an adhoc network session but it doesn't work. What can I
    do?

    A: Your PC/laptop needs a working WLAN card. Additionally, if you use
    Windows XP please ensure that you have already installed Service Pack 3
    because this feature will only work properly with the latest updates.
    Furthermore, it is strongly advised to carefully read the security warning
    in your Sacred 2 - Fallen Angel game manual.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------


    Q: I have a copy protection issue regarding SecuROM. What can I do?

    A: Please go to http://unlock.sacred2.com where you will find ample
    information on how to handle your problem.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------


    Q: I have wrong/broken graphics and there are no world objects displayed.
    What can I do?

    A: If you have a PC with Windows Vista in combination with a Creative X-Fi
    soundcard, you can use a workaround: Try starting Sacred2.exe with the
    command line parameter -skipopenal and the game should display everything
    fine. Creative is working on a solution. As soon as there are new drivers
    installed, the workaround should not be required anymore.
    In case you have another PC, please make sure to have installed the very
    latest graphics drivers.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------


    Q: What does "An exception has been thrown! error #: 9 function:
    cPhysics::init" mean?

    A: Does the error message looks like this?

    An exception has been thrown!
    Error #: 9
    Function: cPhysics::init
    Description: NxCreatePhysicsSDK failed!

    Probably the installation of the PhysX drivers failed or is corrupt. Sacred
    2 requires version 7.11.13 of the PhysX drivers, which are included in the
    installation of Sacred 2. A re-installation should solve the problem.

    If not, the PhysX drivers should be installed manually.

    User of graphics devices from Nvidia should also try installing the latest
    graphics device drivers, which will now include the PhysX drivers.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------


    Q: Sacred 2 installs fine, but does not run on my computer.

    A: Please make sure your system meets the minimum system requirements and
    refer to our technical notes.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------


    Q: Where can I choose a name for my character?

    A: In the "New Character" screen, on the top right of the screen, you can
    edit your character's name. Per default, it is identical to your character
    class, like for example Seraphim, Shadow Warrior etc.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------


    Q: How do the bonus codes work?

    A: The bonus codes are only available in closed multiplayer mode (e. g. for
    the Carrier Imp or special items).

    The Activation works as follows: Multiplayer Online > Closed Net > Unlock
    Content > Enter Keycode

    Please do never enter your codes into the chat!

    The codes are not related to your activation, but to your account. That
    means that your features will not get lost after a re-installation. Every
    character can use all features.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------


    Q: Can I copy my savegames to transport them for example from one computer
    to another?

    A: Yes, of course you can copy them.

    Under Windows XP you can find the savegames here: C:\Documents and
    Settings\Your_Name\My own files\Ascaron Entertainment\Sacred 2

    Under Windows Vista you can find them here: C:\User\Your_Name\Saved
    Games\Ascaron Entertainment\Sacred 2

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------


    Q: I'm using a graphics device from Nvidia series 8xxx, 9xxx, 2xx. Why is
    the performance all the same so low?

    A: Recently, Nvidia built a PhysX Support into their graphics device
    drivers. It seems that the PhysX acceleration is set to "enabled" by
    default. If you deactivate it, you can, depending on the device, improve
    your performance from 5 up to 20 FPS.

    In order to deactivate it, open the Nvidia PhysX menu in the system control
    center of Windows, click on Settings and on "No acceleration".

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------


    Q: I have another problem. What can I do?

    A: We strongly recommend checking out our Sacred 2 website and our Sacred 2
    Forum for further information. You will also find a (more detailed) FAQ
    section there.


    8. Technical Notes
    ------------------


    Please make sure that you have no applications running in the background
    (e.g. anti-virus software). These applications should be deactivated.

    Please also make sure that you have the latest updates and Service Packs
    installed with Windows XP / Windows Vista. The most recent updates on the
    creation date of this Readme file are Service Pack 3 for Windows XP and
    Service Pack 1 for Windows Vista. In order to install these Service Packs
    please run a Windows Update from the Internet Explorer / Tools / Windows
    Update.


    9. Driver Help
    --------------

    Important notice: Always make sure to deactivate all applications
    (especially your Anti-Virus software) before installing a driver, as it
    might interfere with the self-configuration of the driver you are
    installing.
    If you are experiencing problems with your game, an outdated (graphics
    card) driver might well be the cause. Even if you just recently purchased
    your graphics card the drivers might be outdated as the card could have
    been manufactured several months earlier and only the drivers available at
    that time will be included with your hardware. Here is how you can find the
    latest drivers.

    Before installing any drivers please make sure that you know exactly which
    chip-set type your graphics card features!
