In Gothic 3, they now built an api call to virtual cd 8, to unmount all images, and so the game gives an error to insert original disc...
After 2 hours of screwing around with my vcd installation... I found a way to get it working...
You get again the 2 out of 3 times = not starting up problem, and sometimes even a hard crash, but you can play at least 1 out of 3 times of starting up
To get the 1.08 update working, without a crack, use the same virtual cd 8 method as described here: http://www.somewarezsite.com (Sickboy6th post, somewhere in the middle)
except, after inserting the cd into the physical drive... close all virtual cd programs, move the file: vc8api.dll from the Program Files\Virtual cd 8\System folder to somewhere else.. then startup the game...
Don't forget to put the file back after playing the game! If VCD doesn't work properly anymore, make sure that file is back in it's folder and just reboot
