I reloaded Gothic 2 to replay it, but have come up against a problem. I'm using an ATI Radeon 8500LE, with Catalyst 4.3 (now 4.4) drivers. I've heard that there was a problem running the game with anything over the 4.1 drivers, and can't get the game to load properly.

The thing is, I've tried rolling back to the 4.1 drivers, and it still won't work. Some of the opening movies run fine, but getting into the game (by randomly clicking on the black menu screen) gives me audio only, with a black screen and no cursor. Unfortunately, I can't view the Jowood forums to properly search for help on this subject.

Has anyone here run into this problem? If so, what can I do to play the game?!

Thanks for any and all help you can provide.

Regards,
Michael
