I just read the other forum topic about Low FPS in-game. The "Windows 98/Me" compatibility seemed to do just the trick; however, I am considering alternate solutions due to "Windows 98/Me" compatibility not being perfect. There has to be a cause somewhere.
Specs:
Windows 7 64-bit RC Build 7100
AMD 4800+ X2 2.4ghz Socket 939
2gig DDR RAM
nVidia 7800GT 256mb
I get the same low in-game FPS in Vista 64-bit as well. I just recently installed Windows 7 because it is too awesome.

What do you mean by not being perfect? What problems are you having with the compatibility mode?

Meaning as far as the system requirements go for Sacred Gold, I should be getting better FPS than what compatibilty mode provides.

Try setting the game to run on only one core.

Or just lower the res a bit, I had to.

I just bought this game as I was tired of the damn physical disk. However, I don't recall how to get some performance in this game so if anyone find out please let me (us) now!

Anyone knows how to play in Window mode? I remember playing that way because then it will keep your desktop resolution and therefor there native which is awesome.
