Installation

Installation To install Sacred Gold place the Sacred Gold DVD in your DVD drive. If the Autorun option is activated, the install program will run automatically. If this does not occur automatically, run the setup.exe application located on the Sacred Gold DVD. Then simply follow the instructions on the screen. The file readme.html in the game’s installation folder contains important technical information. You can also find the latest news about Sacred on the official website: www.sacred-game.com. Please note: We cannot guarantee that Sacred Gold will run on all laptops and notebooks. There are so many models on the market that it simply is not possible to test all of them for compatibility. In addition, chip sets and video cards may differ significantly from the desktop standard. If your laptop/notebook meets the system requirements, Sacred Gold will probably run on it. However, we cannot guarantee that it will, due to differences in system architecture.
