The 2.34 patch verifies all Sacred2's files (with MD5 checksum).
However Ascaron screwed it up - in patch "2.02 to 2.12", one file is not properly updated (so the file is different but still function).
So if you haven't applied "2.02 to 2.10" then "2.10 to 2.12"... instead, just "2.02 to 2.12", you will not be able to install "2.31 to 2.34".
No way around it except to reinstall, applying the right patches.
It's extremely stupid, yes. Since I don't have this problem (I checked frequently enough to have applied 2.02 to 2.10), I haven't kept myself updated on this bug.

Okay, i've downloaded 2.0.2-2.12.0, currently downloading 2.12.0-2.31.0, then i have 2.31.0-2.34.0 to download afterwards (downloads seem pretty fast but LARGE). Is there anything else i will need to dowload after that to enable me to get online with it? Thanks for the prompt reply as always

No! Don't do that!
You don't understand... you CANNOT use 2.0.2-2.12.0. Ascaron screwed it up, one of the files in there isn't updated. If you use that you will be unable to use 2.31.0-2.34.0.
2.34.0 added a MD5 check for old files, and that's exactly where 2.0.2-2.12.0 failed.
You MUST use 2.0.2-2.10.0 then 2.10.0-2.12.0. (and the problem? 2.0.2-2.10.0 is no longer available for download)
Finally 2.12.0-2.31.0. Then 2.31.0-2.34.0.
I suggest searching the official forum about it... see if they have came up with a fix (that they have updated the patch downloads), or are they all gone on X'mas vacation.

Also searched the official sacred2 community forum, and went to the uk comminuty board. It seems one of the management (carolyn hacker) has been kind enough to link a couple of patches to get the 2.0.2-2.10.0 patch (456mb) so hopefully that'll be all i need. Thanks again for the help, it is appreciated

Okay, i;m stuck now... I've installed the game, installed the 2.0.2-2.10.0 patch, THEN installed the 2.10.0-2.12.0 patch. The problem is when i try to install the 2.12.0-2.31.0 patch, i get 3 progress bars through, then i get a message saying it's rolling back, and then the patch exits leaving me at v 2.12.0.... Please Help !!

Okay, after looking on the SIF , on the very last page i have found the solution. I had to change to regional setting and the unicode settings to both uk english, uninstall the sacred2 i had, restart pc and re-install sacred2. I then patched as follows: patch 2.0.2-2.12.0 (NOT 2.10.0), then 2.12.0-2.31.0, then finally 2.31.0-2.34.0.
This methos as described on the sif forum worked a treat for me, i've now created my online account and been into the lobby. Once i;ve eaten my christmas dinner i'm gonna role a character up on SP to get used to the new stuff..YAY !!!!
