I get this error after 3 secs after loading a certain save: (Others don't, have tried)


B: VFILE: Err: -2: Can't find file
_WORK\DATA\SOUND\ITRW_2H_ORCSTAFF_01.MRM Code: 255


What to do??

EDIT: It's for Gothic 1

[Cyclops1953]

maybe that save file has somehow been corrupted.

Try reading the sodding stickies before posting.

Gothic 1 always crashes when approaching one of the undead shamans.

Solution:

• Get your hands on the file:
  • download the VDFS Tool for Gothic
  • set Root Path to the root directory of Gothic
    ( C:\Program Files\<Publisher>\Gothic\ )
  • under Filename open the volume with the file
    ( MRM are compiled meshes - therefore: [gothic]\Data\Meshes.vdf )
  • look for the file in the treeview/listview and select it
  • press Extract Selected
  • close GothicVDFS
• Copy the file where the game is looking for it:
  Move the file on your disk ( /_work/Data/Meshes/_compiled/xxx.MRM ) to the directory which is mentioned in the error message ( /_work/Data/.../ ).
  ( note: create the directory if it doesn't exist already )
  ( note: the directory is probably /_work/Data/Meshes/_compiled/ITRW_2H_ORCSTAFF_01.MRM)
• Have fun while playing Gothic

I can't find this in the files: MRM are compiled meshes - therefore: [gothic]\Data\Meshes.vdf

I can get as far as : C:\Program Files (x86)\JoWooD Productions Software AG\Gothic\_work\Data\Scripts (Data\Scripts is the only thing in Data)

OR : C:\Program Files (x86)\JoWooD Productions Software AG\Gothic\Data
and then I only get this: OrcTempleFix.vdf (I don't think that is it.)

There isn't an Meshes file.

I can't find this in the files: MRM are compiled meshes - therefore: [gothic]\Data\Meshes.vdf

Then search for it, open the windows explorer (that thing you can open your harddrives, DVD drives and such things), hit F3 (windows-search) and search for that file, if g1 is installed correctly you should find a "Meshes.vdf" somewhere.

It is on my computer ty, do I need to read in it? I need to select a program or find something on the internet for it

EDIT: then there's this:

# look for the file in the treeview/listview and select it
# press Extract Selected

What treeview?

Ok, other solution, download and install the IKS patch, here:

http://www.worldofgothic.com/dl/?go=dlfile&fileid=164

[C-Hawk]

I installed it and it worked one time(one shaman) I don't know why I hadn't got this bug with the first 3 shamans, and now I installed the patch I have a problem with
the last, 5th, invincible with normal melee shaman. I installed the patch again while the error was still in my sight, maybe it's that, and I doubt about that,
ANY SOLUTIONS?

EDIT: I re-installed the patch, checked the Gothic-root directory after having the error, it was removed...
I reïnstalled the patch and started the game I got the error as soon I got in his neighbourhood after repeating a couple of times it finally worked But now I'm against apocalyptic templars Found out on the site I need magic I already got the 4th but need the 5th for the 'Rain of fire'
Will I have enough time to cast it?

I have the 5th cicle BTW now. Only need to go to the temple again
