Troubleshooting Gabriel Knight 3

Original system requirements

OS: Windows 95 or newer
CPU: Pentium 166, first-generation 3D card with 4 MB+ RAM or Pentium 233 without 3D card, 32 MB RAM; SVGA graphic card at 16-bit high color; about 150MB of free hard drive space for the minimum installation; a Windows-compatible sound card.

These information are reported for the sake of completeness: most of the computers currently used have performances far beyond the required ones, however there could still be someone wanting to install the game on an older machine.

To avoid this, it is necessary to replace the Day123.brn file in the GK3 Data folder on the hard drive with a copy of the Day123.brn file from CD 2 or CD 3.

Another cause for the Unrecognised Fatal Exception error can be. File replacer
