Sacred 2 is one of my favorite underappreciated gems this season. (Look for my review of it soon.) Like other recent PC releases, though, the game wasn’t without its share of issues.

It’s been a few months, but Knights of the Blazing Sun and Black Guards are finally finding their way into WAR for those who didn't win the elite reward in the Heavy Metal event.

Months ago, its developers spoke with several people about the buggy, game-breaking glitches present in the retail release, such as game save losses and connectivity issues. Their response?
