Application Error - Access Violation: solutions that work or don't work
I purchased Gothic II from Steam a few years ago and I never had problems to run/play it.

Last week, I decided to give it another go (you can play the game in different modes), and the game crashed.

The game appears to load.... It starts with "Configuring Virtual Disk File System". Check!
Then the Jowood and Pyranha logos load OK. Check!
Then the main Gothic II menu appears: "New game", "Configuration", etc... (at this stage, the mouse doesn't work, so you have to use the keyboard arrows to scroll up/down" plus "Enter" to select. By th way, it states this is version 2.7 ENG...

So I select "New game". The progress bar increases... At about the two thirds mark, I'm back to desktop with the mouse not working and an open windows called "Application Error - Access Violation". I have to press Ctrl+Alt+Del to close the session.

Now, this is squarely a Steam Client issue. Something went wrong when they upgraded to a new version. The proof? I could run this game 2 years ON THE SAME COMPUTER. The only thing that changed is the Steam Client.

Furthermore, this is a well-documented problem. There are several threads in the Steam forum about this problem. Several solutions are also given in these threads.

In THIS thread, I'll let you know what I did exactly. What DID or DIDN'T work. Of course, your input is more than welcome!

Hello again,

Some solutions posted in this forum will tell you to run Gothic II as an administrator and to use compatibilty mode with Windows XP - SP3.

SInce the problem lies squarely with the Steam, none of this is going to solve this problem.

This thread offers another solution: http://steamcommunity.com/app/39510/discussions/0/45350791697013935/

Download a patch from the now closed Gothic Website in Germany... This patch is for version 2.6 of the game. The Steam version of Gothic II English is 2.7.

Well, this patch may well work for you, it didn't work for me.

I actually found the solution that works for me in this thread: http://steamcommunity.com/app/39510/discussions/0/45350245373356314/

Then copy it in the directory of your game:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Gothic II\system\

Well, the 3 files contained in the wndmode.zip file solved the problem...

You will have to edit your Gothic.ini file to ensure your screen resolution is what you want...

But, basically, the compatibility problem will have been solved...

I had the access violation problem, and changed the .exe to run as administrator and in XP SP3 mode. That worked most of the time but I still got occasional access violation errors. But if I start the game by navigating to the game files and using the .exe directly, it seems to always work. Nameless is level 6 and a proud member or the Thieves Guild now...I am tempted to try your solution though. When you say "copy" the files into the game directory, I assume you mean to extract them to there, right?

Seems like the only fix for me is this windowed mode... but seriously isn't there any other way to fix this game without having to play it windowed?

This works reliably for me...

Delete "GameOverlayRenderer.dll" from Steam folder while Steam is running. Then start the game.

The deleted file returns when Steam is restarted. You will need to delete it whenever Steam restarts before you can play the game.

This works for Gothic and Gothic2.

Inside C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam folder.

Oh boy i guess i didn't waste two dollars after all.

Now let's hope i don't get my saves ironicaly deleted by forgetting to delete the file, thanks.

It may end up being the best $2 you ever spent. Good to see that it worked for you.
