Getting Access violation error after my fault, accidentally installed Playerkit and Systempack on Steam version of the game
I patched Gothic.exe with 4 GB patch too, but i think this is not the problem that corrupted my game. When I realised that was a bad move, because game was not working obviously, I immediately uninstall Playerkit 1.08, Playerkit 2.8 and Systempack 1.8, uninstalled whole game, deleted all remains of Gothic folder in steamapps folder and tried to reinstall the game like twenty times, but it's not working anymore. It seems like those mods corrupted some files, that are not listed in Gothic folder in steamapps. I have tried to install basic mods and utilities like before, Union, Ninja, Community patch and Zgamepad (I'm playing on Asus Rog Ally, I dont have keyboard) but I'm still getting Access violation error. How I wrote before, I have tried to reinstall the game like twenty times, but unfortunately nothing works. I tried to verify and repair files via Steam, but it didn't work either. I'm screwed, any advice what to do?

My game was working okay before, I had only problem with not working Texture pack by Artemiano, I had black screen while I was ingame, but game was running, I still heard ingame sounds, sounds of opening inventory etc... So I tried to solve this Texture pack issue with this stupidity that I've done and now works nothing.

Delete the files manually. Since you installed mods and other files the deinstallation maybe didnt delete these other files not being part of gothic.

Then install the game, install Union for Gothic and try out the DX11 renderer in the workshop here. Then try to run the game again.

If it works make a copy of that folder before you apply any other stuff. So you can simply revert back.

This is exactly what I did, I have uninstalled Patchkits, Systempack inside Gothic folder, then the game and then erase whole gothic folder inside my steamapps folder. Then reinstalled the game, tried to apply just basic utilities like Union, Ninja, Community patch and Zgamepad and nothing works, it's showing me Access violation error immediately, when I press the play button in mod launcher... I tried to reinstall whole game like twenty times.

Before when I have installed Patchkit 1.08, 2.08 and Systempack 1.8 I had fully modded game with Union, Ninja, CP, Zgamepad, advanced inventory and with other useful Union plugins.

How about you just dont install all at once.

Just install Union and the DX11 renderer (which you didnt mention).

Also I would just unsubscribe the gothic mods in the workshop just to be sure steam doesnt mess up your new installation.

I tried it, i have not mentioned it before, I had unsubscribed from all mods, then unistalled game, then installed fresh copy of a game and tried just to use Union with DirectX 11 and Zgamepad.

My game launched but was buggy when i tried to get bigger resolution, so I didn't even try to launch the game... I was so pissed off after the whole day of making it playable.

Ofcourse I installed DirectX 11 renderer before too, when the game was working. I just forgot to mention it.

If you ask me no game is worth it to waste a day of your life. I probably would just turn off the device and try again tomorrow.

Next day I would try to clean the registry of all gothic entries. Then I would check on which installation branch steam is for the game: normal or original. The original branch does not install the system pack or anything.

Then install it normal but not union, renderer and no zgamepad. Just try to find out if it runs out of the box from steam. Because it should since the normal installation comes with the systempack. If it doesnt install the renderer. I wouldnt even use the file from steam but download them seperately from an external site and install it manually. On Github there are 2 Gothic DX11 renderers: One is from Kirides the other one is from SaiyansKing. Saiyansking also provides a legacy renderer which is for people who wanna play with original graphics. So you basically have 3 renders. The old clockwork renderer is totally outdated.
