Oops, sorry. Didn't know...
Does someone knows why?

[LoedD]

Because the developers felt like they have 2 do it. God knows why. But if you would have read the release notes you would knew.

There is also another copy of the useroptions.ini file into this one.

from the readme.txt that comes with the crack files:
Changes:
- Saves games and "UserOptions.ini" have been moved to the game folder.

for those who didnt get Pakhan crack to work you can try:
-install game
-install official 1.12 patch
-install community 1.5 patch
-copy over the razor crack for version 1.12, wich means you will loose the community changes over the engine.dll and game.dll
-then, from pakhan crack, copy only sapi_lipsync.dll, SharedBase.dll and vcomp.dll
edit: although in other cases i would never recommend mixing up stuff from different versions, in this case, the community fixes remaining work without the ones lost due to using old files (engine.dll, game.dll)

Perhaps someone will create a more elegant crack to the CP 1.5 later. (The game is still incredibly buggy though, even after one YEAR of patching and even with FAN made patches, I still get horrible graphic glitches, ambient sounds are still cracking, during the play the game will stutter more and more and eventually must be restarted, etc. I guess something went really wrong in the design from the get go...)

i suppose, then, that there is no actual solution except for the good ole original CD or a new crack or using the v1.12 crack (which somewhat "nullifies" v1.5). that sucks...

Ive installed Gothic 3 + the Autumn patch + the official v1.2 patch + the community v1.5 patch + the Gothic 3 community v1.5 PAKHAN.

I installed the game in this order and so far no problems for me, my comp is nothing special.

but i did start with a clean computor free of gothic 3. I used "your uninstaller 2006" to delete the game and all registry entries that the games unistaller leaves behind before i re-installed the game in the above order.

Its worth a try, i hope it helps somone

Maybe it's CPU related?

What CPU do people have that CANNOT get it to work and what CPU do people have that CAN get it to work?

[tyrone biggums]

3.2 pentium d

ive reinstalled the game a few times but i never tried installing the autumn patch or using "your uninstaller 2006" to uninstall the game. v1.5 crack doesn't work for me but the v1.12 crack does.

[MelVic]

My cpu Pentium 3.4 with 3 gig ram

Sorry if this is too offtopic

But I see this thread is about community patches. Man the community always have to fix what the damned developers never don't do when its their damned job

[LoedD]

I have a Core2Duo
So has anyone this problem with an AMD CPU??

[Michapod]

I've AMD Athlon 64 3500+ and 2GB RAM and crack 1.5 doesn't work for me so far but crack 1.12 runs perfect with my polish ver. of Gothic 3

[AuliX]

It cannot go perfect coz your Community Patch will be screwed up since many, many changes are made in fix-replaced files. I've asked one from CPT. You must use v1.5 crack.

I use Athlon 3200+ and I cannot run the polish version of the game with patch 1.5.

Seems it's a fucked up crack plain and simple!
