I will go straight to the point...Gothic 1(GOG version)freezes randomly while playing the game.It is very random from a few minutes(4-5)to 17-20 min.Anyone have any idea why?I am running windows 7 SP 1

I tried disabling internet connection...the game won't start at all.Tried disabling antivirus...nothing changes.

Nobody knows anything?I really want to play this damn game.

Well, dude, maybe Win7 is the problem
Maybe the install directory is the problem.
Maybe something entirely different.

Also, G1 doesn't require internet, so disabling that or the firewall should matter.

I will try installing it in another partition(altough i don't have UAC turned on so it shouldn't be the problem)and about the internet conection...well the game doesn't start if the internet is not plugged in...tried it a few times times and the game won't start...hmm,maybe i should give it a try like this,start it with the internet connection then unpluging it and see what happens.

Certainly that the Gothic game (especially the GOG version) not requires Internet connection. But the Game Explorer launching game tool which was integrated in Vista, 7 and 8 can demand it. Especially, if it tries to update or recover the damaged database with information about the legacy games.

Then disable that piece of rubbish?
And make certain you did not install to C:\Program Files\.
