Can someone tell me exactly what they did to get this to run, i've tried everything I can think off.

Daemon Tools 3 and 4
Antiblaxx
Antiblah
SR7.Stop
Virtual-cd-hide
Starforce Nightmare

And with the german 2.6 crack i get no voices, even though I tried to edit the cutscene files, although I only have 2 rather then 4. Plus, the blindwrite files I have only include the BWI and BWS files, no BWT file. So Blindwrite won't burn it properly, but I managed to install it fine.

Please help me I really want to play this, but it's not out in the UK it seems.

You must install a patch to have voice by the new NPCs in G2 addon. Dont remember the site but you can find it easly. Its a patch from G2 fans that translated the german addon to english, and when you this patch install over the english addon the voice is there.

DT4 recognizes all cds, but cd1 and 4 take a while to load and be recognized by windows...
on gamefaqs is a guide that says how to install german patch over english game (i think you select the game 'gothic 2 gold' and not gothic 2 or the expansion)...
on my pc the shortcuts were wrong (pointed to some log file), i had to create them manually afterwards...
i used sfn to hide cdrom ides during install, but to play the game it isn't necessary to do so (at least for me it isn't)...
first time you start the game it starts some sort of configuration app... its called 'Vdfs32e.exe'... just start the game and let it do it's thing, afterwards just rename the exe coz for 90% of the ppl it will start everytime you wanna play and it takes a while to complete so...

also on gamfaqs is a guide somewhere with some ini tweaks... make sure to check it out... on rpgdot there's also an extra testre pack... makes the graphics look a bit more 'dynamic' Wink

read the NFO ^^

1.) Unrar, Burn CD1, CD4 Using BlindWrite 4.5.7 (disable Autoplay
in Options), burn in DAO PW at 4x, click "YES" when asked if you
want to physically include BWA information. When mounting in DT4,
remove or hide all optical IDE drives.

The group that released this (that did a long article on blah) is BLIND just like the software they reccomend. I have burned and also used DT as the info has asked. Noda. Looks to me like it is time to order a batch of chicken wings, make a circle with the leftovers, then dance around them for good luck to install the game.

Such a Shame .....


The Scene is GONE, no more packaged releases .....Welcome to the Land of He said, She Said ..and hope the gossip works to play the game.

Mirror, thanks for checking the forums. It is nice to know you give a @#$@$@ about the peeps you hooked up.

I could not get it working, but i have now (was a really stupid mistake on my part)

However i dont think it is fair to slag the release group off for a 'bad' release!.. I for one could not do what they do.. I aint got a clue about reverse engineering.. or the patience to muck about with a game to get it working.. so all kudos to them.. for actually giving a toss and giving us a good relelase

Works perfectly well on XP+SP2.
Had to uninstall daemon tools though and disable all the drives except the cdrom with the disk (which in turn was burned as stated in the nfo).

Im not positive on this but I thought I read about a way to get it working on SP2/XP over in the G2 forums.. Gonna have to check it out, cause I bought the damn game and Im running XP w/ SP2. Sad Was planning on starting it up today as well...

UPDATE. Just looked in the forums, and all I found in regards to G2 + XP SP2 was during the install process... And they seem to have a solution for that as well. Hope that really is all because Ive already successfully installed my game, just havent actually STARTED it! LOL

BTW- The link to that post if you want to see it is:
