Gothic 2 does not start - what to do?

In the Game Gothic 2 you dive into the dark world. However, if the game does not start, there is usually no need to worry. An outdated graphics card driver can be the reason for this. This problem can be solved in just a few simple steps, as we show you.

Gothic 2 does not start - so you solve the problem

• In order for the game to run on your PC, you must have the latest driver installed from your graphics card. This can be determined using Windows Update or the information on the manufacturer's website.
• You also need Microsoft's DirectX to run the game. This must also be up to date. Again, you can run Windows Update to find out.
• Before you install or start the game, you should make sure that your PC really fulfills the system requirements of Gothic 2.
• Warning: Since the game is a little older, you need to follow this tip to play it on newer versions of Windows.
• Many users report that in some cases you have to delete the "GameOverlayRenderer.dll" file from the Steam folder (C: \ Program Files \ Steam) because it is corrupted. When the game is started again, the file is automatically created again.
• It often helps if you start the game as admin. To do this, right-click on the shortcut and select "Run as administrator".
• If that doesn't help either, the firewall / antivirus could block the game. Therefore, try to deactivate your firewall and the antivirus program as a test.
