major issue gothic 3 need help

**nickbell** · 07-Nov-2006, 06:49 PM

I have recently got gothic 3 which i have been dying to play. Trouble is i can't. I have downloaded all the latest patches but still cant manage to get into game. I can get as far as game logo coming up on screen then an error message appears with this:

gothic3 engine FATAL ERROR
Modules: eCApplication: : CreateEngine - can't find correct context in gfx system
File name: cE: WorkspacePiranha BytesGothic III worksourceEngineadminge_application.cpps, LINE: #2958

I know some other people have posted issue the same as this on some foreign sites and can't find a solution.

Any ideas?

Well, i need some info,
1. Do you have a legal version of this game, or is it cracked?
2. Can yoplease post the error message again, but now within a code box, because now the slashes are missing
3. Which version of the game do you have, and if not v1.0 which patches did you install
4. Which Graphics card do you have?

Please answer above questions and i'll be ready to find a solution

I do have a purchased copy of game, but i usually use no-dvd cracks but problem occurs with or without crack. Error code is:

Gothic3 engine FATAL ERROR

Modules: eCApplication: : CreateEngine - can't find correct context in gfx system

File name: < E:\Workspace\Piranha byte \ Gothic III \ work \ SOURCE \ engines \ admin \ ge_application.cpps, Line: #2958

I have tried using version 1.0, then patched to 1.1 and now 1.8 and have same problem each time.

My graphics card is a GeForce MX440 128mb

well, your graphics card is not the newest...

Quote:

The recommended system specs for G3 are 3 GHZ, 1 GB RAM, and either ATI X800 Pro or GeForce 6800

While the minimum system requirements are not set by the developers, whe will guess, 2.2GHZ, 512MB RAM, and either ATI X1300 Pro or GeForce 6500

Hi,

Had the exact same error.. here's how I fixed it...

I noticed in the history log that it was trying to read a file named
c:\Document and Settings\Your Name\My Documents\Gothic3\UserOptions.ini

and that it wasn't able to read it... so I went and checked only to realize that it had been renamed __UserOptions.ini for some reason.. so I renamed it from __UserOptions.ini to UserOptions.ini, made sure that the resolution was correct (had changed monitor since I had last played) and voila! that fixed it

Let me know if it worked for you as well.
