Looks fine here.

Do older versions of dxvk work for you?

Please also try this build (of the latest master code): https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/actions/runs/18060205595/artifacts/4122097616 (Note that you need to be logged into GitHub for the download to work).

Gothic3_d3d9.log

Not immediately able to reproduce on Windows with my RTX 4080 either. Latest driver

Hi all, just wanted to chime in.

I also tested Gothic 3 with DXVK 2.7.1 on Windows 11 (RTX 3060, 12GB VRAM), and I’m experiencing the same crash issue — access violation at launch. Tried both the official 2.7.1 release and the latest master build linked above.

Interestingly, DXVK 2.6.x works without any problems on the same setup, so it may be a regression introduced in the newer versions.

Happy to provide full logs if needed. Let me know if I can assist with further testing or repro steps.

(Also, for those who might be looking for Toca Boca APK files, allianzmedia.com
has a few available. Just sharing in case it helps.)

Would need either a bisect of the regressing code commit or further reproduction steps yea.

Are any mods required or does it happen with clean vanilla game? How is the game installed? Steam or other?
The error above mention some logs, might be interesting to see what they print.

Thanks for the clarification!

Right now I don’t have access to the DXVK log files from that session, but I’ll try to reproduce the issue again and will attach the Gothic3_d3d9.log as soon as I can.

To answer your earlier questions:

• Game version: GOG (clean, no mods)
• OS: Windows 11
• GPU: RTX 3060 (12GB)
• DXVK version 2.6.x works fine — issue starts in 2.7.1 and master

Let me know if there's anything else I can provide in the meantime.

I meant game log files. I assume that is what the popup is referring to at least.

Does using this build change anything? https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/actions/runs/18157889607
It is still just current master, but using a different compiler

May be its the same problem like with Scarface: The World Is Yours.

Strange. For me DXVK 2.6.1 has the same error. What exactly a version you use?

The same.

Figured that this error for me is from AutoHDRaddon. Disable it and game loading normally to main menu but after few seconds its freezes. In logs appears this error - VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST

And you don't have any other addons or similar enabled?

No. And other games like Scarface: The World Is Yours works fine.

IIRC, Gothic 3 was quite finicky on systems with many cores and required some hacks to work properly. I gave up on it and am simply using the latest community patch. Also be mindful of this issue: https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Gothic_3#Game_slows_down_randomly . They say it slows down the game randomly on PCGW, but in my case it caused crashing.

Can this error caused by ParallelUniverse patch?

No idea, as I've never used it. The community patch with the above tweak (& dxvk, of course) provide a rather stutter free experience in my case.

I see its recommended to use it together.

I tested both the clean vanilla game and it using Community Patch, Parallel Universe Patch and Update Pack without hitting any issue
