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

[SocratesJohnson]

Here's what happens for me.

I have a EU copy of the game, patched at 1.08. I apply the 1.01 "fix" by razor 1911 and I am able to enter the game, I get to the menu screen, and can do options and everything. I hit new game, I see the loading bar going and when it gets to the end, I hear the Windows error ding and I alt tab to find this ...

A window pops up with the title of, "gCScriptAdmin::RunScript(..)". It then has in the window ... "Scripted script is not registered: OnInit !" There are three buttons below it, Abort, Retry and Ignore.

I press retry. Another window pops up. (Each window hereafter has the same title as the first and the same Scripted script is not registered: [script] - I'll just put in the script name.)

OnGameStartUp !
OnPlayerGameKeyPressed !
OnProcessRoutine !
GetDCCRadius ! (this one repeats every time retry is hit until abort or ignore is hit)

If I hit abort, Gothic 3 closes and I get ... (Window title) "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library"

Runtime Error!

Program C:\Program Files\Gothic III\Gothic3.exe

R6025
- pure virtual function call

So, I hope that helps some coders/crackers trying for a EU 1.08 fix.

heh heh, sorry, i don't want to be offense...but I am pretty sure a coder can figure this out himself
But who knows? As long as it pushes the issue forward it's fine. Need a crack as I cannot play anymore with the new patch. Gotta get a new DVD Drive or stick to the 1st patch ...

Too bad I'm not a coder. Having the one for 1.08 would really be nice, I'm waiting for it as well.

To some reason the DVD won't load anymore with 1.08 applied. But with the Releasepatch it works (EU Version)...
I am sure it is my crappy DVD Drive. Otherwise I'll have to return the game...

I am sure it is my crappy DVD Drive.

could be crappy use of software protection too ;P

I'm totally discouraged ! JoW00d had been working hard on the protection of their game instead of making it work well enough! I was firstly surprised when I launched 1.1 version of g0thic3 and found it quite unplayable and now I see worse gameplay situation in 1.8 and totally f***ed up protection that was quite good without any changes...

Sorry for this kinda offtopic but I was waiting for a game-of-the-year-gothic3 and now I get this buggy shit that I can't even start without original cd/dvd that I simply CAN NOT get living in Russia and waiting for our national release in the end of 2006...

P.S. somebody (who knows at least smtg 'bout it...) tell me, how much should we w8 'til any fitting way to start the game w/o having the original dvd appears?

[TippeX]

hmm you mean you haven't got the original (if you cant get it in russia, then im sure you could find it on ebay or some inet shop... really you don't have an excuse).. i can only direct you to the rules.. and advise you read them,,,
after that.. its up to the mods...

Mind you, the copy protection and the game itself is definitely written by two separate teams and they can't give help to each other...

Thats your problem, 1.08 files have a different index's than the 1.01 files.

This situation is covered by forum FAQ entry III/5.; and no, it won't work...!
