Gothic 3 trouble

coshkara · February 17th, 2007

After I install the game and click new game it goes to a grey screen, I would post a pic of the screen but have no idea how. It comes up a grey screen that says.. Gothic3.exe Caused a EXEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION in module <UNKNOWN> at 001B:8A36DB40

If anyone has any clue what might have caused this or how to fix it would appreciate it.

"Has anyone tried running Gothic 3 on windows vista?

Has anyone gotten a memory allocation error with exception_access_violation in module gothic3.exe?

Aspyr says there is no support for running Gothic 3 in windows vista."

Found this on another site Im guessing I just wasted 50 bucks from the looks of it.

try running it in XP compatibility mode... thats the only thing I can think of

How do I try that?

Also think I would be beter off trying the v100.64 drivers?

I also am trying to find the latest drivers for my mb if you have any tips on them.

From what I have read so far the dx10 isnt fully compatible with dx9 games so is there a way to uninstall dx10 and try the dx9 drivers?

usually you right click the executable and choose properties.. then somewhere in there is compatibility

I know nVidia's drivers aren't quite up to par in Vista yet, so that may be part of your problem too. But I would guess that the game just doesn't play nice with Vista (or the other way around).

Looking into some other issues for a friend with Vista, just by trolling through forums and the like... it seems a common recommendation for games is to use the option "run as admin" especially games that use anti-cheat devices like punkbuster. I won't pretend to know anything about Gothic 3, but you can take the suggestion for face value.
