Hi all.

So I just grabbed Sacred Gold from GOG and by itself it runs just fine. Whenever I try to incorporate DGvoodoo however I just immediately get the generic Windows box saying 'Sacred has stopped working'. Like it won't even begin to boot up. Seems to be something about the DLLs, since as soon as I add them to the game directory it does this. I've checked everything I can think of.

Off the top of my head this is what I've tried.

  • Double checked my DirectX version (it is 11 so that should be fine?).
  • Tried older versions of DGvoodoo and also the current debug version. This is literally all it says before crashing.

  • Checked firewalls and such are off.
  • Tried MANY different setup combinations, compatibility modes etc.

I'm ready to give up but just in case thought I'd post. All I really wanted from Voodoo was the widescreen.

It's hard to say with so little information.

1) What GPU do you have?
2) Have you changed any settings in dgVoodooCpl.exe?
3) Can you test dgVoodoo with other games?

Also dgVoodoo won't really make Sacred run in true widescreen. It will be stretched and look pretty bad.
