Ascaron Entertainment has released a new v2.40 patch for Sacred 2: Fallen Angel, which introduces PhysX support, the ability to pause the game in single player, lots of bug fixes, and more.
nVidia®-PhysX TM Technology Implemented:
The display of two combats arts for each respective hero has been
enhanced with physical effects. Executing a combat art will now have
direct impact on the immediate environment (small stones, leaves, twigs).
The enhanced combat arts are:
* High Elf: Glacial Thorns and Incandescent Skin
* Temple Guardian: T-Energy Shroud and Untouchable Force
* Seraphim: Flaring Nova and Radiant Pillar
* Shadow Warrior: Nether Allegiance and Augmenting Guidon
* Inquisitor: Mortifying Pillory and Frenetic Fervor
* Dryad: Dust Devil and Edaphic Lances
Certain particle effects as well as different wind speeds are also vailable now. Leaves and stones may be moved by wind or by walking across them.
Pause Functionality:
In single player mode you may now pause the game any time by pressing [P].
The camera can still be moved around freely when the game is paused -
which is ideal for taking screenshots from various angles.
Control Your Minions:
This new functionality enables you to use your minions strategically. Order them to attack enemies as a group or individually ([-]) and determine how close they will stay to you ([#]). You can also order them to attack directly ([Shift] + [Left Mouse Button] on an opponent). Pressing [.] will display your minions' current order status.
The Achievement System:
Open your logbook [L] and click on the trophy to display the achievements that you have accomplished in game. If you are playing in Closed Net these results will also be published in the community network on www.sacred2.net
Character Display:
You are now able to turn your characters around for 360° in the selection screen.
Individualized Character Inventory Screen:
Each hero now has a different and individualized layout for equipped items.
