About removing the vc8api.dll method...

It really does work.

The only problem with the new patch was that it automaticly unmounted the images... by removing the vc8api.dll ... this was not the case anymore.
I have been playing ever since the weekend with the patch 1.8,
but... you really need to keep these things in order:

* You need the german st0n3d release as with the the 1.7 patch (1.1)
* You need to mount the image in the virtualcd program INTO YOUR PHYSICAL drive... this sounds weird, but really.. virtualcd supports to virtually mount an image file, into your real, physical, cd/dvd player/burner

so make sure you insert the image into that drive. If this option is not available... check the settings of virtualcd to enable the function

If it doesnt work... try unmounting all images in any (virtual)drive and removing all cd/dvd's from the drives, shutdown all image programs like alcohol, daemontools, poweriso etc. etc. then try the method again...
Do not forget to shutdown Virtualcd 8 Programs after mounting the images.

This should work, and really does work for me!
But only 1 out of 3 times... So usually I need to startup the game about 2-3 times, sometimes my whole system even locks up, but I dont mind paying such price while later playing the game for hours

As a gentleman states a bit earlier about Virtual CD drive maybe being banned.... First: I don't think that it has anything to do with this method, since the image is getting mounted into your physical drive, as such... those drives paramaters are 'seen' by the game. Second: If it really is a problem, then just change the virtual drives parameters in Virtual CD Settings... you can change the manafucturer and drive type etc...

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

...

Tygur · #**131** 30-10-2006, 21:20

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

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

Joe Forster/STA · #**134** 31-10-2006, 06:00

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

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...
