o_O

Could you explain better what kind of error appears and when?

I get the exact same message. At times it also says it can't load game.dll or something. I'm rather annoyed to be honest.

You're not going to get much help without a lot more details. What hardware, what OS are you running, does the message come up when you install, or when you try to start the game from desktop icon, or start the game from autorun of the CD?

Have you installed the patch (assuming you managed to install the game). What graphics drivers. What chipset drivers. What other cr&p have you got running (I'm thinking Norton, etc.)??

Are you running as an admin (Win2k/XP) or just a vanilla user?

That's about 10% of the information someone might need to know in order to ask the right questions to fix the problem. §gnah

I get a similar error/debugging window that appears when trying to load the game (from the cd, desktop, or straight from the folder), after the initial splash screen is displayed.

A log file is generated, with this being the main problem:

Gothic3 engine FATAL ERROR:

Module: eCApplication::CreateEngine - can´t find correct context in gfx-system
Filename:<E:\Workspace\Piranha Bytes\Gothic III\work\source\Engine\admin\ge_application.cpp>, Line:#2958

Have attempted reinstalls of the game about 6 times now, reinstalling the latest nvidia graphics drivers...same error pops up each time!

(running XP SP2, AMD 64 3700+, 1GB ram, nvidia geforce 6800 GS 512mb)

Tempted to take the game back and forget I ever wanted to play it!!

Same for me. I got a pic for you who didn't see it.

From that screenshot it looks like 'Guru' is some CPP debugging application, which probably didn't ship with the game (one hopes). The real problem is clearly the memory access error(s) that caused the debugger to get called in the first place.

Did you try running a memory test? I wonder if 1GB is just not enough (I assume you do have VM (i.e. page file, whatever you want to call it) turned on?

I haven't managed to resolve my "where is the guru" error yet

Gothic3 engine FATAL ERROR:

Module: eCApplication::CreateEngine - can´t find correct context in gfx-system
Filename:<E:\Workspace\Piranha Bytes\Gothic III\work\source\Engine\admin\ge_application.cpp>, Line:#2958

I have pretty much given up having tried using solutions to everyone else's problems...I now have 3gb of my hard drive being used for no purpose as it doesnt load!

Perhaps if I replace my graphics card with a box of cereal that might solve the problem...

Install the DirectX-Version right from the Game-DVD, and let us know if it helps. :)

i am having the same exact problem and i could not get the game to run. I have the directX - from the cd, and i have tried everything I could find on this forum.

Any other ideas, i can't even get the game to start, maybe there is something wrong with the engine.dll any ideas at all.

After I double-click the launcher icon, the "Gothic III" logo lights up. Then nothing happens for about 10 sec, and then the "Where is the guru" screen comes up telling me that CreateEngine cant find correct context in gfx-system.

System specs:
AMD athlon 64x2 dual core processor 3800+
2GB DDR SDRAM
NVIDIA geforce 7800 GTX
Monitor: Myrica V27-1 LCDTV
Windows XP/2002 professional media center 5.01.2600 (service pack 2)

I have updated the motherboard and video drivers. I've got the windows installer 3.1 and .NET framework and microsoft visual c++ and the AMD dual core optimizer. I've shut down Norman. I've tried umpteen times to uninstall patch, uninstall game, reboot, reinstall - same Where is guru every time.

So, what to do next? How do I do this memory check?

Ector
21.10.2006, 16:46
And of course I have installed directX from the DVD, I do this every time I reinstall the game. And the patch.

Ector
21.10.2006, 17:30
Now I've also installed the AMD CPU driver from the DVD - no difference.

This is the log from Where is the guru:

Seems the first error message is this: eCConfigFilePhysFile::ReadFile - can´t open file: C:\Documents and Settings\Hugo\My Documents\gothic3\UserOptions.ini for read !

Sorry for such a huge post but hey, many people seem to have this problem...

Can you open the file (UserOptions.ini)? Anyway i'll attach mine, so you can copy it there, but then you'll have my settings, so if you run the english version of the game, you must change this in the file:
VoiceLanguage=German
SubtitleLanguage=German

Both to "English".

i just tried doing as you suggested with the UserOptions.ini and it didn't work for me.

any other suggestions?

actually i just noticed that then you place UserOptions.ini in the \My Documents\gothic3 it gets deleted when the game starts and the only file left in there is __UserOptions.ini

Is "E:" your dvd-drive?
Anyway, try also to open the UserOptions.ini (In your savegame-folder) and search this line:
PostProcessing=2

(I think it should be "2" as default)

Change that to:

PostProcessing=0

and try again.

Problem SOLVED!

It was the Widescreen LCDTV. I plugged in my old flatscreen and - lavoila - GAME LAUNCH!!!

Thx a lot for your support, your suggestions encouraged me to keep tweaking.

But why doesn't Gothic 3 support widescreen format?

nope that didn't help me at least the game still didn't work and every time you try to lunch it again all the settings in the UserOptions.ini file go to hell. UserOptions.ini file is the file is now a lot shorter some of the settings disapeared.

Major break through guys!
I can actually get it to load to the main menu with no unhelpful Guru messages!!

I altered the ge3 ini file

set right to 800 and bottom to 600

and it loads in 800x600 (as have a widescreen monitor it had defaulted to 1280x720)

And in the main menu i can alter to a widescreen resolution which alters my ini in my documents but doesnt touch the ge3 ini file in the install directory!!

After over a week i may get to play! Fingers crossed!

that didn't work either i have a wide screen monitor too, but that didn't solve it for me changing the resolution didn't give me anything, other than a smaller black window right before the "where is the guru?" box popped up

any other ideas?
