Just cite the relevant fragment of the LA and/or copuright owner of Gothic 1 then.
Maybe you missed the fact that the creator of that (if it ever will be released) hack is a former PB member? So we can guess they have some relationship, ... see it as a freelancer-job without payment.
And i know that you have some good amount of knowlege when it comes to laws, and if you see things on the forum which could be from your point of view kinda "problematic", please feel free to use the notify-button or just write a PM to a moderator, but in the end it's the decision of the moderators/admins of this forum what can be tolerated and what not, please respect that.
In this special case, if that hypothetical hack would ever show up, it would be OK and tolerated in here.
And i repeat myself, please don't continue this Off-Topic in here, further posts about it will be deleted. If you have further questions/remarks just write me a PM.
Nico shifted his priorities towards other problems in April last year. He invested quite some time but didn't find a working solution. Nobody took over/continued his investigations (no surprise) and I doubt that this problem will ever get solved.
I was willing to take it over a while ago, but I never heard anything back from NicoDE. I can only assume my PM got lost in time and space . A sort of workaround exists for newer Geforce cards, but no luck for ATIs.
Ach Fry, Ich hab dich mehr als der Monde, die Sterne...das...fail.
