Some computer specs would have been nice to post too

**WernerTWC** · 24.01.2007, 17:02

The most simple suggestion would be a re-install of the game.

SEABEE · 25.01.2007, 00:10

Thanks for replying..
I have reinstalled 3 times.with no results.
I have installed the latest patches,likewise no results.
as for the spect's please advise me as to what you need and I'll try to find them on this thing.
Thanks again for your time and your help.

Try this:

First go to your gamefolder\data\ and make there a new folder and name it "Sound", so that you have something like this: gamefolder\data\sound\
Download G3Pak.7z from this page: http://www.bendlins.de/nico/gothic3/
It's a 7z-packed file, but you can also use WinRAR to unzip it, then start the G3Pak.exe.
Now open (file->open) the "Sound.Pak" (located in your gamefolder\data\).
Select as the "Root path" gamefolder\data\Sound\
Click "Extract All", after it's finished, close the Pak-Viewer.
Go to gamefolder\data\Sound\environment\fire\ and delete "SFX_Env_Fire_01.ogg"
Copy your Sound.pak elsewhere (i.e. to your Desktop (for backup purpose) and delete the originial Sound.pak in your gamefolder\data\
Start the game.

I can't say thank you enought. I am so glad I found this site.

Same Effect, packed as a patch, download and install the g3 starter first:
http://www.worldofgothic.com/dl/?go=dlfile&fileid=115

Then download the attachment and unzip it into your "GameFolder/Modifications" - Folder (created while the installation of the g3-starter), this silences the ambient fire sound.

Description:Fire-Sound-Patch for 1.12

This Patch solves the problem which
came along with the official Patch 1.12.
Like in the “old” but patched Ambient-Sound-Bug,
we have that loop-sound with multiple fire-sound-sources.
This patch silences the the problematic ambient-fire-sound.

the "where is the guru?" is a pain in the butt i tell you!one of these days,i might try that whole thing myself!wernerTWC,you earned it to be a mod,they should pay you!

SEABEE · 29.01.2007, 21:29

Good Afternoon..
Well here's another rock in my path!!! I down loaded the G3Pak.7z.
But when I go to open it I get an ERROR Message. It says THIS ARCHIVE
IS EITHER IN UNKNOWN FORMAT OR DAMAGED.Oh! I know your going to ask... Yes I have WinRAR. Where do I go from here??(I know what your thinking...) please help!

**Larisa** · 29.01.2007, 21:34

If you have a recent version of winrar (above ver 3.40, released in 2004), maybe the archive you've downloaded is damaged. Try to download it again.

SEABEE · 30.01.2007, 02:23

Thanks for the help!
I have WinRAR 362. I have tried twice to download G3Pak.7z with the same results. Could it be the G3Pak is bad????

Thanks for the help
younglady.

**Larisa** · 30.01.2007, 08:21

The G3Pak.7z archive is good. I didn't have any errors.

Try with 7-Zip 4.42 instead of WinRar. http://www.7-zip.org/

Maybe you use a download manager that corupts the file. Or a firewall.

**WernerTWC** · 31.01.2007, 00:03

... or just try to first start up WinRAR or 7zip or whatever, and then try to open those files using the "open"-dialog in the specific application (winrar, whatever...)

SEABEE · 02.02.2007, 01:37

Hi Folks!
Just a note to let you know how I'm doing on this problem. I got the
G3Pak to work,and I made the new folder. I tried to extract the files A NUMBER OF TIMES!!! I assume what I'm trying is to move the files from the
zipped pak to the new folder. right?? At least not yet! But I'm banging away at it.Each day I learn a little more. I use to be afraid of computers!!!!
But I Will Get It. (SEABEE'S CAN DO!)

Hope ALL are Well!!!

SEABEE · 02.02.2007, 23:55

I'm sorry I did'nt mention it above,but I did try the patch you sent Werner.
it is in my modifacations.it also showed up on the beta starter. I put a check in the box to use it. It had no effect! But the map is GREAT!!!
Thanks for that.
