vashek 3 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Hello, I just installed Sacred Gold from my retail copy CD, but when I try to install the 2.28 patch it says no installation found? I had no issues with this previously on Win 7, but I am now running Windows 10 64bit. Is there a specific folder I need to install the game on initially? Thanks! Link to comment
Knuckles 904 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 What version is your game currently? And where are you downloading patch from? I tried Googling this issue a bit but didn't really find anything....I did see one person say downloading patch from File Planet worked for him. Though I would think our download link for it should work too. You might try running game/patch in XP SP3 compatibility mode. Not a techie but figured I could at least start to help you find the solution BTW...welcome to the forum 1 Link to comment

vashek 3 Posted May 16, 2016 Author Share Posted May 16, 2016 (edited) Thanks! Ill take a look at the version and post tomorrow. Should be the fully patched retail copy minus 2.28. I downloaded the file from here. Also tried fileplanet. I tried xp sp2/3. Its a very strange issue lol. I couldnt find anything on it. Edited May 16, 2016 by vashek 1 Link to comment
Dragon Brother 619 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Any chance you installed the game on a separate hard drive to the windows drive? Link to comment
vashek 3 Posted May 16, 2016 Author Share Posted May 16, 2016 (edited) Ok, I guess maybe I was confused. If memory serves Sacred Gold came fully patched. My Sacred.exe file is 2.0.2.28; so I think that answers that. Sorry. Is there a 2.29 community patch I need to install then? Game just hangs at loading screen when its loading "fonts." I've tried different compatabilities and run as admin. I swear I had to dowload some patch on Win7 to get it to run. Edited May 16, 2016 by vashek Link to comment
Dragon Brother 619 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 From memory there might have been one...is this it? http://www.sacredvault.org/forum/index.php?action=tpmod;dl=item46 1 Link to comment
Popular Post vashek 3 Posted May 16, 2016 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 16, 2016 (edited) Thanks for the help everyone. I appear to have it working; in full screen no less. Read a bunch of Win8/10 issues threads. I'll report back and let everyone know if I get crashes or anything. Ran around a lil bit just to see how it performed and seems to be fine. Here's how I got it working on Windows 10 64bit. 1) Went to Sacred Gold installation folder and clicked on Config.exe 2) Set color mode to 32Bit. 3) Turned OFF all compatibility modes. 4) Disabled run as Administrator. Booted up in full screen no issue in 5 seconds. Previously it would freeze on loading screen when it got to "Fonts" with XP SP2/3 compatibility mode. I'm running a Nvidia GTX 670 card, just in case anyone has similar issues. Read ATI/Nvidia fixes for this game are different. Edited May 16, 2016 by vashek 2 Link to comment
