Heya,

I downloaded Gothic from Steam and am getting the following error whenever I try to start a new game. Any thoughts?

What OS are you using and what are the stats for your rig? There could be several reasons for your problem, but we need more info.

I had a lot of problems getting Gothic 1 to work as well. I think I had to install a couple of the community patches and something that makes it compatible with Win7. Maybe you also need to run as administrator, or in compatibility mode?
