Everything you need is a Virtual CD 8 image of Gothic 3 and the fixed image from GCW.

If you mount the fixed image and start Gothic 3, the mounted image will be dismounted. And the game will not start.

I went into the Virtual CD 8-installation folder, looking for a file through Gothic 3 gets control of the mounted image.
If you rename the dll "vc8api.dll" in the ...\Virtual CD v8\System-folder to what ever you want, Gothic 3 can`t dismount the image.
So you can play every version of Gothic 3 [Multi] without changing any game-files.

Am I good? ;-)

this is the problem that most people have.

1. : the translation of the readme is in german.

2. : ( Everything you need is a Virtual CD 8 image of Gothic 3 and the fixed image from GCW. ) They all know of the fixed image from GCW, but they have no idea where to get the virtual CD of gothic 3 or how to make it.

basicly instructions are written very very poorly, and thus they give up after few retries.

easier to just use the partial nodvd patch.
