the gothic 2 addon and the reason that it wont work
   

ok, i know ive seen this post 800 times, and ive jumped through all the hoops in the directions. I installed the english gothic 2 and changed the file names to vdfs32g.dll and vdfs32g.exe. I copied the german 1.30 gothic 2 exe file to the system folder. I tried to install tnotr off cd and even off of alcohol, and the tab is still greyed out. I am so lost, and i apologize for the repeat of this post, but ive followed all of the other directions. thx

similar problem here, I have whatever version was sold in Australia. us or uk im not sure, the problem i have is that when installed its already 1.30 and the files are called vdfs32g. dll and exe, there was never a 'e' veriosn of them. So i read some posts about here this and didn't bother patching the files. Now when i get to the install for the NOTR i can choose where to put the addon but once i've selected the next button is greyed out. This is really annoying as i purchase this from ebay and can't get my $$ back. I;ve spent about a week trawling through the forums looking for the answer to this with no luck. I've disabled nav, deamon tools, zone alarm, and everything else i can think of but i can't hit next. I've also installed it on desktop and my work laptop without any luck either. pls help

alright dude, i actually figured it out. What i did is i did all the same things that i did before i coppied the german exe file and changed the e's to g's. The thing that i did different was when i got to the NOTR install screen and the button is greyed out, i browsed for the path and just went as far as C:/Programfiles/jowood/gothic2, clicked ok, and it actually worked. try this. when you install NOTR, try the shorter path, and it should work.

This is one of the few things you can do wrong during the installation. Both add-on and translation mod must be installed in the G2 root directory. Itīs a good idea to double check that the installer suggests the correct dir.

I had the same problem, but the problem is that g2 is installed to dir Gothic2 but addon wants to install it to Gothic II so I just changed the dir name and everithing was ok. You also need to have german vers. gothic2 exe file in that dir!
