I'm talking about Gothic, from piranha bytes.

Well, the game installs properly, the launch bitmap loads, then it crash with some SetFileAttribute() command. ACT provides an handler for getting rid of GetFileAttribute() errors, but for SetFileAttribute(), no guess...

I'm running it with Windows 2000 SP3 , with ACT 3.0.98.

Note that I have tried to run it into a Win98 SE Virtual Machine (VMWare) but since there video drivers doesn't seems to support hardware 3D emulation the game crashes also. In the call stack, I can see SetFileAttribute() ... so perhaps it's the same problem.

Note that patching the game with the 1.08 german patch doesn't change anything.

Someone have an idea about fixing this ?

According to Pirahna Bytes, it should work with Windows 2000. Might try contacting "Piranha Bytes" at http://www.piranha-bytes.com (under the Gothic I heading) / http://www.piranha-bytes.com/english/main.htm or Xicat International at http://www.xicat.com/index-Contact.htm

German or English only, sorry.
