The full version also had problems with newer ATI cards. Maybe one of the solutions works for the demo, which is based on the same build.
1.: if you have a tv or a second monitor near your pc you can consume another output signal. It should work when you have access to the dualhead features.
2.: you could try patch 1.08k. Itīs only for the full version, but at least itīs worth a try. |

The 1.08k patch addresses exactly this issue:
"This patch fixes occasional crashes during gamestart. Especially if you play under Windows 98 and use some weird graphiccard/driver combination there is a possibilty that the game crashes with an illegal call to a directx utility function named "D3DXGetDeviceCount". This misbehaviour is now corrected as we do now link the gothic.exe with the directx 8 libraries, which do better support the newer driver and graphiccards. We suggest to use this exe only if you encounter crashes during gamestart (in detail: if you encounter crashes with the radeon 8500 or the Geforce 3 under Win98) This version is not supported by Piranha-Bytes."
But I doubt it works on the demo |

So this means the Gothic demo does not and will not work with a Radeon 8500? |
