Which Linux? Which emulator?
Are we talking about the original game? Or it is a mod in which there is no voicing?
Check your sound driver in the Sound options. Try to change it.

Fedora 35, using steam Proton (not forcing any particular version so probably the newest available).
I tried in non modded version started via Mod Launcher, and in Gothic Definitive Edition Mod - no voice in first dialogue with Diego, tried also talking to Orry nearby and also no voices sound.
After disabling "Union Patch" and starting Gothic 1 Classic or Gothic Definitive Edition via Mod Launcher - there are voices available.
I will try messing around with Sound driver options as suggested - will let you know after I do it :)
No idea if this information is important, but for Gothic 2 - Union Patch from steam works for me without any problems.

Ok I changed sound driver - had "Dolby surround" chosen when dialogue sound didn't work, changed it to "RadGameTools RSX" - everything works. Thanks alot!

I have the same problem - dialogs, and monster sounds are missing, but none of the sound drivers doesn't seem to work for me. No other mod is enabled, only Union 1.0m. Fedora 35, Proton 7.0-2 and Proton Experimental. I've also tried GE-Proton7-17 but there is other bug - really low framerate ~15 FPS.

With Union disabled (using default System Pack 1.8) everything seems to work using any of these Proton versions.

@owny, please try to set next options in the SystemPack.ini. Will you have any changes?
BorderlessWindow=1
BorderFix=0
EmulatorMode=1
UPD: AnisotropicFiltering=0

These options doesn't seem to fix my issues, but it fixed the video playback. :D

However, I found out that 2 sound drivers are working, but it requires the game restart to actually apply it!

- DirectSoundHW (seems working the best, with reverb effect set to off to fix some sound stuttering)
- RadGameToolsRSX (sound is not that clear and it's causing the framerate to stutter a bit)

The problem with low framerate on GE-Proton still persists, but at least I have a working setup on regular Proton now.

EDIT:

- The sound still stutters sometimes even with DirectSoundHW.
- When using DX 11 renderer with Union, framerate issues on GE-Proton are gone

I was investigating why the "Miles Fast" sound driver doesn't work and the problem seems to be in Mss32.dll. If I install Union 1.0l on original (not workshop SP 1.8 patched) version, the version of lib is different and the sound works.

Same if I copy this version of lib to the workshop SP 1.8 version with Union 1.0m enabled, it starts working.

I'm trying to run this mod under Linux Mint 20, the game refuses to start with an error telling me that only latin characters are allowed, know of any way to fix this?

That means the game path contains special symbols or specific letters of your language. Use only latin set of letters. For example you cannot use word 'złota' in the game path, because ' ł ' is a non-latin letter. Such characters can break the normal engine work.
If you have other problems at the Linux, change the next SystemPack.ini option -> EmulatorMode=true.

1. Do you have same problem in the Gothic2?
2. What GPU do you have?
3. Check the Gothic.ini > zVidResFullscreenX, zVidResFullscreenY - it should be a valid (for example your screen resolution); zVidResFullscreenBPP - it should be '32'

If you have the AMD GPU use the GOG dx7 -> dx9 wrapper (place ddraw.dll to the Gothic/System directory). Or use GD3D11 mod. On some AMD cards cannot be started on the dx7 render.

Your account has a permission problems. You can try to run the launcher as the administrator.
This error can be solved in several ways. Use Google to find the answer for this issue: 'requested operation requires elevation'.

I downloaded union for gothic 1 and when I again try to enter old mine for the spy on the sect camp quest an application error pops up the error code says [GOTHIC 1.08k_mod has caused an access violation at address 0050E922h by attempting to "write" to address 00000000h. Is there any possible fix for this?
