Diccuric hangs up so often. Why?
The Hardwaresound support of Gothic is not the best. Try the sodtware modus (Miles fast). If your system has less than 512 Mbyte RAM, you should play without nature animations (you can select this only in the starter). If there are problems with graphics, you should try patch 1.8k of Gothic. You should try to update DirectX and your graphic card drivers.
