I assume this is about Gothic 3?
A quick search brought up this thread from 3 years ago:

In particular the solution given in post 8 seems to do the trick:

Here's the solution. It helps me.
Start the game in windowed mode:
1. Go to <path-to-game> \Ini\
2. Open ge3.ini .
3. Change Fullscreen=true to Fullscreen=false.
4. Save your changes.
After it you will see "Compile shader material cache" window. Confirm "Ok" and wait for about 5 minutes. You can go for a cup of coffee :) After that videos will appear and you'll be able to switch in game menu.
Exit the game and reverse the change to go back to fullscreen mode.
