G1: Crash to desktop

[mcfc]

I played the game for a few hours then all of a sudden I get crash to desktop all the time when i´m in the old camp, it doesn´t seem to happen elsewhere.

I have tried to change the sound setup and resolution as mentiond here in the forum when I searched for the problem , but nothing seems to work

Here´s the bugcode:

I hope there is someone with a the solution for me, I really want to play this game after finishing G2 with addon :)

Sounds for me like a prob with the ATI-driver, try to use an other (the one is shipped with the graphic-card, on cd).
Have you probs with other games?

BTW.: §welcome!

Hy.


GOTHIC 1.08j, Parser Version: 50

Try to install the 1.08k. *click* (http://worldofgothic.com/?go=dlfile&fileid=10)

[WernerTWC]

Yeah, try the Patch first!!!

And please let us know when you solved the problem,... what solved that problem! :)

[silver_reaver]

I had this problem last year, and i didn't install any patches and I could finish the game. Some friends have the same problem, they didn't install patches too, but I think that should solve it, if not it is the system the trouble maker. ;)

Hi guys and thanks for the response.
Sadly, the crashes are still happening. No probs with other games.

I installed the patch, i now have the 1.08k version.
I ´ve tried a numbes of different drivers from ati.
I also tried different AC 97 drives for the sound.

As i mentiond before the crashes only occur when i´m in the Old Camp, more specific at certain points. For example,
-when i´m trying to walk through the passage between Scatty´s hut and the arena.
-When i´m trying to walk up to Fingers just outside the castle wall.
-Around where Mordrag is standing, near the castle wall.
And a few other places.

For now, i´m trying to avoid these places and try to play anyway because this game is very amusing :)

:) Well? What have you done? It didn't fixed itself no?

Well find out something. Don't worry.

Before trying something else deactivate the DEP from windows ... click here (http://forum.worldofplayers.de/forum/showthread.php?p=1597817&#post1597817) .
If this doesn't work leave it deactivated anyway.

Btw, what resolution do you have to the desktop and what resolution do you have in Gothic?

My desktop is 1280*1024. I have tried different resolutions in game.
Will try to change the desktop to 1024*768 before i start the game again.
I also deactivated the DEP, thanks.

Well? did it change anything? I have an "extreme" resort to this. Copy your saves, delete gothic and install the game again.

No, i still got the crash after fiddeling with different resolutions.
I have already done a clean istallation of gothic with copied save files, still crashes :(

Later on im going to install the game on a different computer, an older one with a geforce 2 Ti video card, to see if it runs better on that one.
