This works for me to get the game working Smile

1. Install this english version.
2. Put a savegame in the proper location: yourdocuments\gothic3 folder.
3. Update the game.
4. Mount the german ST0N3D image in VCD8 vcd8 VIRTUAL drive first, when it fails check remount the image into the PHYSICAL drive.
5. Run the game from the german menu or desktop icon.
6. Try starting a new game if that locks up then load the savegame.

I disable shadows most of the times, or lower there settings.

Shadows take a lot of power to run, and don't really add much graphicaly.

Good thing this is not a FEAR thread... Shadows added atmosphere in that game. So i'll guess they'll add some atmosphere in this game, especially in indoor areas.

Actually the indoor areas (caves, houses and the like) really looks pretty dam awful in this game. But the game play...well actually starting to doubt it...the fights are sort a slash slash and a constant running back and forth over huge fields in search of...fuck, this starts to sound like a proper RPG Razz

This is because of the poor implementation of shadows (shadow maps) developers use due to the ease of use and support in hardware. This is why in Doom 3 and FEAR shadows don't slow the game that much but in others you can't get a playable framerate when set to the maximum shadows settings. The only "advantage" I can see in using shadow maps is that with the right hardware (i.e. GF10000), it is possible to use huge shadow maps (4096+) for non-pixalerated shadows and apply some sort of blur to make them look soft.

I got a question.

Do the caves have some variety to them? or are they always the same goddamn cave like in oblivion?

Naaa, its not like in Oblivion, but I think they just look poorly textured or something and there is no light atmosphere...its sort of a even gray dull light. Oblivion for sure "looked" better then this.

Except for when it is dark and you have the torch out. The game would look a bit odd without shadows I think or certainly not as good anyway!


May the NFOrce be with you always.

It's in the stores. Don't know if it's cracked, didn't say on the DVD box.

Why do people even bother playing it at this time? I bought the freakin' thing but stopped after 9-10 hours. This thing is a fucking beta. Just wait for some patches to fix the many, many bugs so you don't ruin the experience because you played too early.

I think I will also stop playing it after tonight's session. The AI is pure BS and the overall bad optimization is just annoying., you are defenetely right there, looks and feels like a beta 100%

I really enjoy the game and the only bugs i've encountered so far have been minor graphical ones. Theres so much to the game that I can easily ignore them.

It all depends on what type of gamer you are. Oblivion was nice to look at but it lacked depth and 'soul' in my opinion. There was no sense that the world was living or that saving it was a worthwhile goal. But some poeple liked it just because it was pretty.

Gothic on the other hand, while not as pretty as Oblivion, totally owns it in terms of how the world is presented. The quests are fantastic with a massive variety. The story is what you make of it. In one of the larger cities there is a massive amount of exp and gold to earn, and you can get it all without even lifting your sword, just as long as you use a little brains. Most situations you find youself in with NPC's can be turned to your advantage if you know the right people because there is a clear hierarchy in every habitated area.

I mean, you asked CaptainCox about caves. Most of his response was about their appearance. That shows what type of gamer he is.

Just as an example, I was exploring a rather large cave, easily owned the lurkers and goblins near the entrance and was travelling further in only to encounter a camp of ogres. Massive mean bastards that I had no chance against. So I run further into the cave to escape only to encounter some dragon looking thing that killed me in one hit! Never experienced that in any other cave before.

Another time I was tasked with killing off these goblins because they had been annoying some people, I find their cave, kill a few, get to their main camp only for their leader to start begging me to spare them in childlike english. It was really cool, never had a goblin talk to me before!

Stuff like this is what makes the game better then oblivion in my opinion.

Much better for me, apart from the loading stuttering. Don't just get it because you're bored though, it's not that type of game. You have to invest alot of time to actually enjoy it.
