Some computer specs would have been nice to post too

[WernerTWC]

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

[SEABEE]

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.

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.

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.

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!

Bill (SEABEE)

[Larisa]

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]

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]

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]

... 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]

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!!!

Bill (SEABEE)

[WernerTWC]

I assume what I'm trying is to move the files from the
zipped pak to the new folder. right??

Right, but why you don't use the patch i posted some posts above?!

[SEABEE]

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.
