Ported from sacredK with module-relative addresses, hooks by exported name and a SHA-256 check of the six game modules (Community Patch 2.65.1). Borderless windowed at monitor size replaces exclusive fullscreen, whose focus loss during loading made the game quit and crash on exit. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Game modules
Surveyed 2026-10-31 on Sacred 2 Gold (Steam) with Community Patch 2.65.1.
sacred2.exe (client, UI) statically imports the game DLLs, so all of them are
mapped before our DLL's DllMain runs. All DLLs prefer image base 0x10000000
and none is ASLR-enabled; the loader relocates all but the first, so their
running bases differ from Ghidra's. re::Address{module, va} holds the
Ghidra VA and resolves it at runtime; sacred2K.log lists the running bases.
| Module | Role | Exports | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
sacred2.exe |
client: main loop, UI, input | 1 | image base 0x400000, sections .text .rdata .rdata .data .data .rdata .common .rsrc; "linker 4.0", PE date 2010 (modified by the Community Patch) |
orcSystem.dll |
"Orc" engine base: Orc::String, Log, LogManager, files, timers, singletons |
3231 | 2009-07 |
s2core.dll |
shared types: kernel events (cEvent*), world/sector positions, waypoints, type manager |
1966 | |
s2logic.dll |
game logic: creatures, items, quests, dialogs, factions, drops, balance (cLogicMgr, c*Mgr singletons) |
5398 | |
s2logicai.dll |
AI | 176 | |
s2render.dll |
renderer (D3D9, Granny, PhysX) | 2258 |
Other modules, not in the build check yet: s2logicdll.dll, s2editor.dll,
s2vista.dll, the plugin_*.dll set from plugins.cfg (file system, zip,
particle FX, Bink, Miles, OpenAL; loaded at runtime), third-party libraries
(granny2, binkw32, mss32, PhysX, stlport.5.0, MSVC 8 runtime). s2gs.exe
is the dedicated server.
Toolchain: MSVC 8 (VS 2005), STLport 5.0 strings and containers, C++ classes
exported with decorated names (?method@Class@@...), so most functions of the
DLLs are named. tools/exports.mjs lists them; Ghidra demangles them.
Orc::String
STLport string with a 16-byte inline buffer, 0x18 bytes; see
src/game/orc/string.h.
Data
pak\*.zip (graphics, sectors, sound), scripts\ (client/server/shared Lua-like
text configs), locale\de_DE (German texts global.res, item name CSVs,
speech). User options: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Ascaron Entertainment\Sacred 2\options.txt.
