With CM Patch and deactivated PhysX+Elite Textures+weather which would mitigate most of the common issues? Because by default, yes it crashes indeed.

It doesn't crash for me, and I don't use any patches or mods of any kind. Everyone's setup is different, so what happens for one person doesn't automatically happen for everyone else.

True, but not everything is related to the setup alone. Sacred2 was patched pretty stable after most bugs have been ironed out, but then the Ice&Blood expansion was released and Ascaron shut down shortly after it leaving many new issues unfixed. So even if you do not encounter these issues they are still there in the code. I have not played vanilla for quite some time, but I remeber there have been quite a few actions I could do back then to reproducible crash the game. PhysX had it's issues, Flashing weather in the swamp region was troublesome and Elite Textures afaik caused some kind of memleak. And Creative Soundcards in combination with OpenAL were crashworthy, too. Or often clicking Teleportation a few times on the map starting from multiplayer island.

That's just a few things I remember. So yes, obviously depending on your hardware and drivers you might have different experiences, but it is not exactly a secret that many serious bugs have been fixed by modders and some specific settings led to crashes far more often in the vanilla game than others.

The problem is..... it needs remaking

It sounds like maybe your issues were multiplayer related? It's been a while since I've played it, but of the many times I have, I just don't recall any major bugs. I know my last long trek on the game didn't have any issues, though I didn't play all the way to the end.

Some of them for sure, yes. I have played since release both multi- and singleplayer and remember quite a few issues I had along the journey, many after the release of Ice&Blood. Nowadays I usually play with Mods and have none of them at all.

No matter what you do, once you hit or get near the 1.5Gb memory usage you will crash.. Alt Tab works but can break the fps. Quick Save F7 often is your best bet
