The CM Patch requires Sacred 2: Ice and Blood to be fully patched to 2.65.1 or greater for it to install. It is not compatible with Sacred 2: Fallen Angel (any version) or the base installed version of Ice and Blood (2.64.0).


The CM Patch's system requirements are identical to those of Ice and Blood 2.65.1 or greater.


What the CM Patch installer does...

The CM Patch replaces certain files that were installed by the Sacred 2: Ice and Blood installation program and modified by the patches (2.65.1 and/or 2.65.2). It does not change the executable files nor the libraries (DLLs) included with the game.


Installing or Removing the CM Patch

After you've downloaded the CM Patch, you will need to unzip the file. You can do that using Windows' native ZIP file feature or you can use a utility like WinZip or 7Zip. You will find two files inside the ZIP archive.

CM-Enable.exe CM-Disable.exe

To install, make sure Sacred 2 is properly shut down all the way. Then you simply need to run the CM-Enable.exe file. As long as Sacred 2:Ice and Blood is properly installed and patched, the CM-Patch will back up the existing files that get changed and the installer will then put the proper replacements into the game folders.

To remove the CM-Patch, make sure the game is not running and then run the CM-Disable.exe program. This will remove the modified files and will restore the original files.


Upgrading to a New Version of the CM-Patch

Before installing a newer version of the CM-Patch, be sure to run the CM-Disable.exe program that came with the currently installed version of the patch. Then, and only then, proceed with extracting the updated version and installation.
