Summary: gothic 2 gold installs without problems but will not start Product: Wine Version: 0.9.30. Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: blocker Priority: P1 Component: wine-misc AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: liebundartig@freenet.de
Installation of gothic 2 gold (that is gothic 2 and its addon "night of the raven" (or "Die Nacht des Raben" in german) version 2.60) works like a charm. I had to swap the files from CD 2 and 3 beforehand the installation to the harddisk, because I could not eject the CD, although the installer asked for a new CD.
Starting the game with cd ~/.wine/drive_c/games/gothic2/System wine gothic2.exe will result in a 100% CPU-load for about 3 seconds, then drops back to normal and gives a new prompt, without changing screen resolution, or printing error messages.
