If Gothic is installed on any drive other than C:, uninstall it and then reinstall it to the default directory on the C: drive. It should work.
Note: C: drive should work, it is possible that one or more drives will also work. To test, start windows in safe mode and then proceed to the disk defragmenter. The "Select Drive" dialogue has a rollout with all of the available drives. These HDD's listed here should work for Gothic
Almost everybody has a huge hard drive these days...i.e. 10 GIGs +...with individual partitions therein. Well for some reason, the basic brains of the computer (In Windows SAFE MODE) doesn't recognize all of your HDD sections (at least mine didn't) so if you have the game installed in one of your higher lettered partitions (a drive other than C: ) the comp won't like it and give you the access violation crap. I don't know why it happens like this so if somebody could possibly explain it for the benefit of everyone, that would be much appreciated. Maybe i'm a special case scenario.
My comp: AMD K-6 2 500/geforce2 64MB/30GIG HD/256 MB RAM
My harddrive has 4 partitions; drives C: D: E: and F:. In safe mode, the comp only recognized drives C: and D: so I tried installing Gothic to both of those drives respectively and they both work great, no glitches or crashes. I also tried installing Gothic on the drives E: and F: and neither worked: Access Violation. I don't know why though. |

Doesn't make sense since I have 12 other games on drive D and all work fine. |

Yeah but those other 12 games probably don't have boneheaded obtuse programming. |
