Man, man... savegames are in c:\Common Files\My Own Files. Sorry my wrong English directory titles, I only got XP Home German. When U start an explorer it's not even in C (though you could get to it a lot longer this way), you just doubleclick on the symbol on top of all the harddisks and their letters, where YOUR OWN files are stored, then THERE is a subdirectory called "gothic3", the SAVEGAMES ARE THERE.
Man, I dig your effort, but go the right way. I only tried it for 1 hour and got to the loading screen, only there it hangs, probably because I only got 512 MB RAM and someone wrote it only works with minimum 1.5 GB RAM
One thing: I had to give my DVD back, and they took it, it WAS scratched, like another one's DVD! I got a new one, and it works perfectly. Another user was banned because he said the same thing. Well, it's true a lot of Gothic 3 DVDs are either broken or don0t work because of the copy-pretection, at least not in all DVD-Drives. Once, mine couldn't read the movie "The Others" that I bought together with Red Planet either, and I got a new DVD.
THAT's the reason for the need of a "crack"! That one does NOT have to put in the DVD evrytime, many DVD-drives DESTROY DVDs and even some new CDs while reading them often! AND THERE ARE WORKING CRACKS ON THE NET, But way too many fakes. IT is the FAKES that should be forbidden!
@ SCHAROCH and also @EMREGUBB: Geforce MX 400, I had that Card until some months ago. The newest games dont work with this card, even in Area 51, there is EXACTLY THE SAME grafix errror as you all desribe (there have benn more than 10 people describing that same problem of a white field on one side of the 3D-space that the character is in) - updating grafix drivers or even the grafix mainboard chipset driver, namely for Geforce4 MX AGP, results in NOTHING. Note: For example, the game "Thief 1" works only UNTIL a certain version of NVIDIA drivers (I think until 81.89), and NOT with later versions, if you got a Geforce 4 MX with 64 MB VideoRAM. And, for example "Thief 3" also doens't suppurt Gefroce4MX cards, its even written there. The same in Oblivion and many other new games.
