Hi All!
Everything was fine and dendy until recently i decided to play Gothic 2 Gold (installed via Galaxy) once again but alas the game just won't run, it's there in task manager list of processes but nothing happens, literaly.
I tried restarting PC, unistalling and re-installing the game, with and without registry deletion, but it still unplayable.

I have not installed anything on PC, Windows did a few mandatory patches and several important ones, that's it. And above all Gothic 2 game does not recognize a first start, meaning despite anything i do the game is not checking my PC settings prior to run (you know that tiny little windows)

I beg you, please help me! I want to complete it. Also please don't suggest me any community patches, the game was running okay 5 years ago, 3 months ago, 2 weeks ago... so it should work just fine the way it is now. I don't beleive i'm the only one with this sudden gothic2.exe not running properly.

The thread is for G1, but the fixes apply to both G1 and G2.
I've had this problem quite a few times myself and there are several ways to solve it. One of the first two usually works, but many people recommend the third one, because SP fixes many more things.

1) check if you have any .RPT files inside/near the Gothic folder (e.g. if you have Gothic installed in E:\Games\Gothic, check if there are any .RPTs in either E:\Games or E:\Games\Gothic) and delete them, if you find any;

2) start Gothic twice (manually, not through Galaxy) and then kill rundll32.exe in the processes;

3) install SystemPack.
