HowTo Play Gothic3 [Multi]-- Use THIS THREAD ONLY-DO NOT START ANOTHER!

[ThePain]

Hello...
after 26h testing.. now the result:

1: You need a Image from Gothic3

2: You need Virtual CD 8.0.0.4

3: Download the Fix Image & Savegame from:
http://m0005.gamecopyworld.com/games/pc_gothic_3.shtml

4: Install Gothic 3 and Patch it with the Release Patch from Piranha Bytes

5: u need to convert the Gothic3 Image (not the Fix!) to a Virtual CD8 Image (can the vc8)

6: Delete the file: GOTHIC3.vc4 from convert gothic3 image and copy the GOTHIC3.vc6 (fix image) from gamecopyworld on this place
*after this, rename GOTHIC3.vc6 (from the fix image) to: GOTHIC3.vc4

7: mount with VC8 in your FIRST CD/DVD Rom
*right click on the GOTHIC3.vc4 and mount it

8: Copy the SaveGame from gamecopyworld in the savegame folder from gothic3
*When SaveGame not works, Dowload here:
http://www.rapidshare.de/files/36817980/gothic3.rar

9: Start the game with Gothic3.exe
when not run... try, try, try after 3~4trys.. its work!

10: Load the game, press ESC and start a new game...


When u not use a SaveGame from Gothic3,
u cant start a new game ~.~

Finish :-)
Have Fun with this Bugged but great Game ^.^

in step 4 do you mean apply the official patch by piranha bytes?

[ThePain]

yer... savegame is for the release patch :-)

[Naiman]

I haven't understood anything .... I guess I 'll have to bring back the game to the store .....

[Reaper666]

Can someone explain me how I rename the .vc6 file to .vc4? My windows only shows me that it is a virtual cd but does not show me the ending of the Datafile.

[Stepes]

gosh you people are hopeless. learn some windows and then try to backup your games :P ...anyway:

open the folder then go tools->folder options->view->hide extentions for known file types and disable it.
or something like this cause I dont have english windows.

can someone tell me the path for the gothic 3 saves folder?

A .nrg file is the same. I have the same englisch game as you all if it had not any protection i could just play it think about that.

no, what im saying is the nrg format can't contain the data required to store the protection information... which is why you can not play the game...

how did you make the image?

[corne]

I downloaded it from rogesoft like many people did on torrentspy there is even a torrent of it. And why is a .nrg file differennt of a mdf.mds file?

Maybe you have a solution for it ? a other making of a vcd maybe dont know really Hope a smart man makes a crack and i will be saved

Dont even know this game is worth all the trouble

The fixed image file on gamecopyworld is for German it seems, did anybody get it to work for the english version ?

Also, when some you say it works 1 out of 4-10 times when you launch it what does it do when it doesnt work?

Does the cd protection thing pop up or does it just crash ? Because Ive done everything in the tutorial (although I have an english version image) and I tried launching it like 8 times or so but all I get is then "insert the dvd" pop up which doesnt look very promising.

If anybody gets the eng version playing update us !!!

[corne]

Im trying the method of the fixed image itself not from this guy so i will let you know if that works. i have a englisch game
