Can't install the game, DAMMIT!!!!
   

Oh god no this isn't happening...this is fucking sick!!!!

Happy that i was i popped in Cd1 but nothing appeared..so i went to "my computer" and opened the Gothic 2 cd folder, first strange this was there was a file named "no autorun" , and the file that is supposed to be called Gothic2-setup.exe is called Gothic2-Setup.W02

no you tell me what i can do about this....i'm lost...i really don't know this.
I really can't believe what they been doing, this ain't even a EXE file..they ever heard of CHECKING before releasing something? good god...

Hey, I understand the anger, man, but I'm pretty sure that kinda language isn't supposed to be used here.

I haven't got the game myself, so I don't know, but surely there is some sort of tech-support line you can call or email?

It was my bad but of the people that did this it is too...

Gothic 2 consists of 3 cds

cd 1 being "play cd"
Cd2 being "install cd1"
Cd3 being "install cd2"

To me it seemed kinda normal to pop in Install cd1 {cause Play cd, to ...play" but i was wrong...i was to fast with my conclusion....you should first insert Play Cd....phew...i'm glad.

They really screwed this little thing up....Play Cd should just be the play Cd...wrong it's install cd 1..so they labeled it all wrong...after play cd was done installing for it's part it asks for install cd2, i bet they mean install cd 1

I can see the installation will be a confusing matter, but thats ok, 15-20 minutes install, 100 hours playing we'll get over it

100 hours? HA! when i get my hands on Gothic 2 there will be over 1,000 hours of playtime! i expect to play Gothic 2 just as much as i played Gothic 1. i finished Gothic 1 fully 22 times and i am still finding out new stuff about it.

So, you need to insert the Play CD to install the game and the Install CDs to play the game? Truly confusing. I wonder what will happen at Atari's Support Center once Gothic 2 is publicized.

@Toaster: You completed Gothic only4times? That's really disappointing.
