Cracked version works better

[sofaighter]

I own 3 physical copies of the game, so I just cracked one to play on my laptop (resolution 3000x2000). Saw it on steam at 1.99 euros and bought right away. My delusion was immense when I saw that it was playable only in windowed mode (fullscreen ♥♥♥♥ it up) beacouse the cracked version hasnt got any problems of such.
How is this acceptable

My screen is smaller (1600 x 900) but the game works fine in full screen mode for me, since I made the following change:

Notes from my review of the game:
"I have never had trouble starting the game before until I changed to a Windows 10 computer. Here is how I fixed it:

Go to your Steam Library and right-click on the game. Click on the following:

Properties
Local Files
Browse Local Files

Find the file "Config.exe". Right click on it and choose run. A pop-up window for Sacred Gold will appear. Click on "32 bit color depth". DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING ELSE. Just click on OK and exit any other pop-up windows to return to your Steam Library. Now you will, hopefully, be able to run the game.

Extra Tip: If you ever ask Steam to verify the files for this game, it will un-check the "32 bit color depth" box and you will have to redo the above steps before loading the game again."

There are a few other boxes to try checking and unchecking, but just the "32 bit color" box worked for me.

Also, this is an older game - released in 2006. A lot of old software (graphics/wordprocessing/spreadsheet programs) won't work on newer machines. I'm happily amazed at how many old games on Steam can still be played with a few tweaks here and there.
