if you watch the intro it shows they put the shield up to keep the orc attack out of the city.

guys if you want the vc8 method to work all you do is mount the image on your first physical drive.
then go to the system folder of the vcd install folder and move hte file vc8api.dll to somewhere else. then it doesnt auto eject the image and you can play. have fun. Very Happy

i have this really weird bug.. the weather and day night cycles start to go really fast where it's just a flicker and then when i save i am at some compleatly different date then before.. i.e. i was at day 2 (just started) and then suddenly it started flickering and i was at day 333... then it did it again and i was at 50... currently i am at 143 but it did it a few more time where i didn't check what day it was... this really sucks beucase i hate playing at night and now if i move a little bit it starts flickering and i end up at night or heavy rain 70% of the itme (at least it seems that way)

i just installed the game and the patch of the razor release.. nothing else
also found some other bugs (i.e. sunflare) but i see that they are mentioned in the patch notes.. just this one i didn't see...

does anybody else have this problem? i think it might have started after i alt-tabbed to another app while in the game... anybody know i can get rid of it?

thanks!

I've got the solution for u ! Very Happy

Despite good hardware the perfomance is bad or the game runs too fast, especially day/night-change (using a DualCore-CPU)

* The DualCore-Fix should get installed.
1. For AMD-CPUs: Download the AMD driver and install.
http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/TechnicalResources/0,,30_182_871_13118,00.html
2. For all CPUs: Download the WinXP-Hotfix and install.
http://www.amdzone.com/files/WinXPdualcorehotfix.exe
3. Download the file from the attachment, unpack and execute.

Enjoy !

Why would intel or non-dual core AMD users need a hotfix for dual core? Rolling Eyes i doubt it, it could possibly even mess up your OS...

When tryign to mount to first physical drive I get "error inserting/ejecting the Virtual CD reason: communication error"

and when I mount it in first virtual drive and move the vc8api.dll it just says "please insert the gothic 3 cd/dvd in your drive and start again. do not remove the disc"

Even tho the disk is still mounted I even have a windows explorer page of it open and can acess the files on it.

I am using the razor release and only got the clone version after hearing it would allow me to play 1.08 ...ooh well screw it all.

If you get the first error you have to restart your computer.

If you get the second error you have to keep trying, there is about 65% chance of "Insert DVD" message displaying, 25% chance of computer freezing completely, and 10% chance of game starting.

So, is the time spent getting clone to work again worth the trouble? Is this patch good enough/make enough of a difference to be worthwhile?

Thanks


Edit: Godmyster you will need the VCD clone to get it running after applying 1.08 at this time.
