Gothic II Gold - 01/04/06 11:52 PM
Hi all,
Just got this thing in a trade and am a little confused. The manuals leave a lot to be desired in explaining what is what.
There are 4 disks. The first three install Gothic II then it tells you to hit finish and Gothic II is installed. When I insert disk 4 it then installs Night of the Raven which I assume replaces some of the original Gothic II files and the game now becomes Gothic II with addon.
If I only install Gothic II without Disk 4 then I play off of Disk 1. If I install with Disk 4 then Disk 1 doesn't work and I am playing off Disk 4.
I installed all 4 disks, played a while, had a crash and then the game wouldn't start. When I'd click on the startup icon I'd see the hourglass, then the spinning disk icon and then...........nothing. I have now uninstalled the whole thing, reinstalled Gothic II (1st three disks) and have been playing for a while. I am now hesitant to install Disk 4 again in case I run into the same problem.
(sigh) guess I'll pull a Scarlet Ohara and worry about it tomorrow.
Will probably put disk 4 in again and hope it works with a new install.
