Loved UHS. Plenty of just simple hints before any giveaways. It's a shame people go straight to the walkthrough and don't want to think anymore.

I downloaded the latest version 6.1 on a trial basis. It shows very little of any game UHS file. It seems as if nobody, except the UHS site, has any information. And there doesn't seem to be any generic program to open a uhs file.

I sent an email to them inquiring about maybe a bank transfer.

Does anyone know of an alternate method to read uhs files instead of the uhs reader?

Every Thanksgiving and Christmas I have to eat at two different gatherings within 3 hours each. Oh, such suffering! Today I got a break. One dinner was yesterday, and the other one is in about 3 1/2 hours.

Anyhow, howdy to all and don't eat any Chitlins, unless they're candy coated.

I voted for somebody. It's going to be fun to see their hair get grey in a year or two. Loss of weight and quite a bit of sagging, but nothing changes about the intelligence.

Finally, something to completely bypass G1 and G2 problems with the Rundll32.exe*32

On World of Players there's some fan created stuff that is flawless. A fix and 2 other items; players kit and a system kit. Tt pops up another screen with only one option "play game"

All you have to do is search for Gothic 1/2 and it takes you directly to the page.

Here's another anomaly concerning Gothic 1.

The game has to be started in W7 64 bit with same method as G2. But the real puzzler was it kept crashing when I tried to save. In the game directory is a directory called savegame1. That's wrong. I renamed it to savegame1_ and created another directory called saves. Now the game saves properly.

I thought that since stopping rundll32 so the game would start right away, why not rename  the dll file and see if the game would start. Well.... you can't do anything to the file, can't even move it out of system32. Anyhow, game is still going strong.

Getting on in the day and soon time to head to Shoneys with a couple of friends. It's only an hour away to our monthly meeting of the Senior Citizens Runners. CIA

Thanks.

As for the game,  Bugs Bunny once said, "There's something rotten in Denmark"

>>>

Renamed a couple of files, etc. Installing the addon sets the game at 2.7, but after tinkering with some files, it's now 2.6 but works just fine. Yaaayy

>>>

Strange thing about running the game on a 64 bit system requires some ingenuity:
Double clicking the desktop icon doesn't start the game, so double click it again and nothing. Now here's the trick;
Ctrl+Alt+Delete and Start Task Manager then choose Processes, there's two instances of Gothic2 32 bit exe's and one instance of Rundll32.exe. Select Rundll32.exe and stop it to remove one of the Gothic2 execs. The remaining Gothic2 exec starts the game. Who woulda thought?!!

The video isn't much use for me since my system is windows 7 pro. Other posts says windows 7 pro and above, just the largest xp mode file is needed. I'll try it one more time, then just say 'to !!!! with it!

an hour later:

saw this on another site;

Virtual Machine is virtual machine, If you install XP Mode, then it should be in your start menu. Just click on it like any other program and it should start to run.
The proper setup is to install XP mode first and then Virtual PC.

So now maybe I need virtual pc?

Ok, uninstalled and reinstalled WindowsXPmode_en-us.exe and the update KB958559
The virtual mode showed but I had to create a vertual pc there. Installed Gothic II and it's addon. The game still won't start. I don't think it's any use going farther. I'll just uninstall everything and set everything back to normal and play the game on the 32 bit vista machine. Thanks for all your assistance ! !

>> Just thought of something else, while installing the game, onscreen message says it's installing a virtual file system, so maybe that was conflicting with xp mode/vertual pc.

the above link worked ok and the large file installed ok. However, I don't see it anywhere in the start menu. Tried installing it again and a message says it's already installed. I'm sure the option to unhide and view all files are set. So, wth? Getting late.... need rest... g r r r r
There are two files to choose from. I downloaded the first one: WindowsXpmode_en-us.exe largest (64 bit?)

The second choice is WindowsXpmode_N_EN-us.exe which is smaller (32 bit?)

which one do I actually need?

Since installing the first file and I don't see any virtual directory, maybe another small file is needed to enable the xp mode directory?!

Got a real puzzler here

I have the original disks 1-4 for Gothic II gold edition (includes Night of The Raven addon). These are strictly 32 bit.

The original game will install on Windows 7 64 bit and play provided I use fixed exec files. Installing NOTR, the game
refuses to even start with its data disk in the drive. I've tried all compatibility modes.

Installing all four disks on an old Vista 32 bit, the game starts just fine with disk 4.

So I guess that's it, no full install play on W7 64 bit.
