Game Specific Bugs

There are a couple of bugs the game has that are not speed dependent.

Problem - Graphics clipping:
With ATI Radeon graphics cards, some users might experience some clipping (this is a known issue with this card and happens under any version of windows).

Solution:
Run Gabriel Knight III in software mode.


Problem - Game won't run:
Trouble Running Gabriel Knight 3

Solution:
Copy the "day123.brn" file from disk 2 into the data folder in the installed GK3 folder on your hard drive. The reason for this is that the file on disk 1 is corrupted on some copies of the game. You might try copying all of the .brn files from disk 2.


Problem - Game Locks up (Sidney, Day 2 5pm):
On day 2, 5:00 pm playing as Grace, the game freezes up when using Sidney. The freezing happens when: the analyzation starts with sound, but graphics don't appear. After a while the sounds stop and the game just stops there showing the red wait icon.

Solution:
The issue here is a codec conflict with FFDShow. Removing the FFD Show codec pack fixes the problem. If this does not help, try uninstalling any installed big codec packs.


Tips

Tip - Play Gabriel Knight 3 in 1280x1024 Resolution:
Create a shortcut (or run from the windows command line) and modify it to:

Gk3.exe -width 1280 -height 1024

Note: Some of the 2D screens (sidney/inventory/map) may not work correctly, because the art is only up to 1024x768.
