[Win 7/8/10] Running Sacred on Win 7 / 8 / 10

Overview

Fix for Win 7 / 8 / 10 for crash after clicking play, black screen, game stopped responding, game not loading and all the bad things that happen with Sacred on modern PC systems.

Sacred Fix:

1. Go to the sacred installation folder, look for Config.exe, then open it. In the window that will appear, check all the options (32 bit color, anti aliasing filter, video compatibility mode, play movies, fullscreen, play sounds) and click OK.

2. In the Sacred install folder, [you can access it by clicking Proprieties on Steam and then Local Files and then Show local files] find Sacred.exe and Config.exe, for these 2 .exe, click Proprieties and set them to Windows XP SP3 Compatibility, disable high DPI thing, run as admin. Apply in both and click ok.

3. Then go to your graphics card control panel (i have nvidia so here is how it’s done with nvidia cards), and go to manage 3D Settings, then go to Program Settings and select Sacred (sacred.exe) from the list, or load it manually from the install folder if it is not there.

Once you selected Sacred.exe there, go in the list below and look for GPU – CUDA option. In CPU – CUDA option, there will be “use this GPU and your GPU below, Nvidia [your graphic card model], select the Nvidia one and click OK.

After this it will probably work, worked for me when all the other guides failed.

Hope this helped you.
