§welcome here Stynnger.

Does this error appears while starting the game or in another situation?

Give us also some information about your system please. Best upload your dxdiag.

[Elfa]

I have the same problem. I play for half an hour or perhaps less and then this shows up and the game crashes.

You can see my rig in my signature - I recently got a new motherboard, RAM, processor and graphic card. I play the game with a 22" widescreen monitor.

Also, I'm uploading the dxdiag.

dxdiag (http://bakaprincess.001webs.com/DxDiag.txt)

I have the same problem. I play for half an hour or perhaps less and then this shows up and the game crashes.

All up to date? ... I mean patch 1.6, drivers for the hardware? ... Also try to defrag you harddisk, ... always a good idea. :)

Any error message?

[Elfa]

All done. I've sent my computer to repair a few days ago (they completly formatted it and installed the XP SP3 and I installed everything else, so everything is up to date. I even unistalled the game yesterday and reinstalled it... same thing happens... only that I also get the 'Where's the Guru' question now. ^^ll

So it's the same hardware, ... and on that PC the game run before without problems?

If so, ... maybe there are still drivers missing, ... it's easy to miss one, check the (german: Geräte-Manager not sure how it's called in english) "Device Manager" if there is a yellow ! (exclamation mark) somewhere (which would mean there is a driver missing or not correctly installed).

[Elfa]

No, it's a new rig - I had AMD Athlon XP 3500+ and an ASUS motherboard that had 4Gb of DDR1 RAM on it, now I have a dual-core 6000+ processor with a Gigabyte 2x2Gb DDR2 RAM motherboard.

But otherwise the game works great - without lagging every few seconds like on the old one. It works flawlessly otherwise... except for the Guru and the other problem that crashes my game. ^^ll

[Old Nick]

You must have some other games on your pc.If the others games runs well there's not a driver problem.It's a problem with your Gothic installer.An error who occurs during installation without affecting the setup process.If you can play CoD-WaW,for instance,and not G3 that can't be a OS or driver problem.Anyway,on high details G3 crashes from time to time.Even with cp1.6.At least on my pc.

[Elfa]

I don't play Cod-WaW XD But I do have other games on my drive, like TR - Legends, Underworld and Anniversary, or Assassin's Creed,...

Perhaps it's because I play it on Highest... I'll try it on medium next time.

[WernerTWC]

Perhaps it's because I play it on Highest... I'll try it on medium next time.

Before that, just try to set the resolution down one step, i.e if you have 1280 x 1024, go down to 1024x768.
