About This Game After having banned the influence of the gods in Myrtana, the nameless hero and Xardas have left this world in order to prevail the balance of power. As they discover a growing of the differences between orcs and humans again, they start to accuse each other and finally even a fight between the companions breaks loose.

The nameless hero leaves the secret realm and wakes up in Myrtana, where he tries to unite Myrtana once for good - in a new empire for both orcs and human. The "optimal" Resource Cache setting seems to be just that - optimal and quite a 'stutter' improvement on the previous release versions. I have 3 full installations up and running on the same machine. All I need to do to compare them is a reboot to the alternate OS. Still have to try an install on Win beta.

I don't expect much difference As for the rest of "johns" wild-man gibberish, I leave it here below for others to survey. You do own a eVGA don't you? You have done the fan speed vs GPU core temperature profile? You have done the dBA vs fan-speed profile? Exactly which Zalman cooling solution do you suggest for both the GPU and its memory that does not heat up adjacent components? Don't let the door slam on your big backside.

Don't know about the installation issue, but the slowdown on Vista x64 is an old problem. I am surprised it's still there. What you have to do is to rename the gothic3. I just did a fresh install from the Gothic3 DVD and then updated it with 1.

Didn't get the normal frame-rates until I changed the ttf file. No stutters at all on this 4GB Vista x64 system. Haha no shit! And, without being rude I know drybones is one of the older gents to grace us on these NG's based on his own writings. Was it some sort of late in life 'mid-life' crisis perhaps? Damn I surely hope that once I've retired my life was good enough to me that I can afford a top of the line rig to pursue my hobby with.

More power to ya drybones! I already looked into the Tages thing earlier today and installed the updated Tages 64bit driver and it is still the same. I install all games with admin rights on Vista64 and run them that way too.

The unofficial patch never gave me any errors and it removes the CP from the game too so Tages shouldn't be the issue anyway. G3 is now installed to XP on the other PC and it runs much better than 1fps like it did on Vista64 but it's still choppy and that was even after I lowered quite a few of the graphics settings. This game is just a sick puppy and should never have been released to the public due to very poor performance issues.

What's really funny is that when you start the game up there is some BS about how they worked closely with Nvidia, Intel, Microsoft etc. Hah, fucking liars. This is the worst performing game I have ever had the displeasure of experiencing. Maybe I should try the official 1. Just had issues with ATI driver as mentioned before. Right, I completely forgot about that fix and now know why I was getting 1fps.

Thanks for reminding me! Apparently there is a way around this. But it is going to have to be the case as more of us use bit systems that they pay to have their drivers signed. Either that or cut out an ever growing segment of the market. Excerpt from the Aspyr website: "Aspyr Media, Inc. Hailing from Austin, Texas USA and stretching all the way across the pond to London, England, Aspyr strives relentlessly to ensure a quality experience for the individuals we support on a daily basis, from industry partners to consumers.

We are human beings who wake up in the morning and put their pants on one leg at a time just like everyone else — the only difference is that we go to work and make videogames for a living and repeatedly pinch ourselves accordingly. Life is too short to separate work and play.

Instead, we have created a mutant race of organized free thinkers to help take on the daunting yet noble task of letting the world relax and have fun.

Made with love in Austin, Texas" I think I just threw up in my mouth. Makes my day. Thanks, Memnoch. You do realise it is satire? If I don't fight, I'll eat this planet. Is the new Tages driver signed?? Once Vista 64 rejects an unsigned driver ONCE and you go to install it again, you may receive no warning. Use Vista's search to look for the driver in the Vista installation. You have done the BCD file hack to allow this to happen? Tages may e sabotaged items called from the executable, so CP1.

Or else CP1. Anyway, I have absolutely confirmed exactly the same behavior in Vista with the Aspyr release as you have already experienced.

I have. You could try updating Aspry to V1. I have not tried that alternate. Aspyr never released a V1. Take care guys and gals. That's the Jowood fix I used last year with Vista Worked fine on my box. There's a fix for the ATI driver problem in Vista64 too. Gosh, I hope I still have the desire to play computer games when I reach He then bought me Blood 2: The Nightmare levels for my birthday a few months later.

I still hadn't played the first game by then. I was still playing games like Kings Quest and Riven back then. He was staying with me and my wife on the weekend of my birthday. I felt so guilty about not having played Blood 2 that I played it that weekend thinking I would put it away when he'd gone home.

I couldn't stop playing it and have played just about every FPS released since then. I envy you your computer but I hope you enjoy it for many years to come. I bet you've upgraded at least two parts of it by this time next year though. I've played all kinds of games, even old ones from Win98 days, on my Vista system and they've all worked fine.

A few I had to run in Windows 98 compatibility mode but so what? I have a similar system albeit with "only" the 2. It runs OK without messin' but better if you do. For me, Vista x64 is the best gaming OS and has been so for more than an year. The super-fetch technology in Vista is great by itself, but when you add in the fact that Vista x64 can utilise 4GB and more, super-fetch becomes even more beneficial. I have absolutely no stutters in games like Oblivion at level loads, even though the game is limited to using 1.

If this was the only benefit and the rest of the OS needed tweaks and all sorts of management, it'd still be worth it, but the fact that its bit emulation mode WoW - Windows on Windows is compatible with pretty much anything with no drawbacks at all, makes it the first choice for a gaming OS.

No emulator needed. It actually runs better compared to the time I had XP. It even installed without needing any patch, which I wasn't able to do on that old PC. I have not had one single issue with any of these titles except Gothic3, which requires a font file to be changed and I am not sure if that's specific to x64 or if it's a Vista issue.

The only piece of hardware that I gave up on, was a scanner I bought in , for which there's no 64bit driver. The only software problem I had was that the 'glide wrapper' and 'mscdex extension' emulator couldn't run. That's pretty much the only reason, I have kept XP on another hard-disk. I only reboot into it once every two three months, to keep the graphic drivers updated.

Almost all of the games released today whether 32bit or 64bit run better with x64 on a 4GB system. Superfetch really does help with all the games that are constantly streaming textures and game assets off of hard-disk. My 2c -- Noman. What problem are you talking about? The game runs fine on my HD with the official Catalyst 9. Vista 64 I installed the Aspyr version, loaded V1.

Re-installed the Aspyr version, patched it to v1. No problems. Right now. It's a signed driver specifically for Vista64, they have an updated driver for XP too. Anyway, someone posted below the fix for the 1fps issue and I now have it running on Vista64 fine. I completely forgot about the issue with the Gothic. Really weird that a little thing like a font can kill game performance so badly but there you have it. I have it running ok on the high settings and not highest.

Still some stutter now and again when in combat but it is running quite a bit better than it does on my XP PC so will play the game on Vista64 now and remove the XP install. Yea, that's all my issue was all along. Completely forgot about the font issue. The game still has massive performance issues when in combat with a lot of enemies though and that has nothing to do with my PC, just shitty programming skills. Nope, that was the issue. I have the Aspyr version and once I switched the font around it now runs fine.

With drivers that were pre 9. Obviously ATI has fixed it since though. Well, I have no intention of corrupting my Vista 64 install with the Tages crap,signed or not, so I will not repeat your experiment even though I have the US Aspyr-crap 1. With the Gothic 3 V1. Works just fine In fact, Vista seems to have just a fraction less stutter than Vista and XP installs at the same option-settings, on the very same machine and with the same rev-family of graphics drivers.

I have a multiple-boot set-up Also, substitution of one of the Windows. Arial shows up in the game, as expected, but no other performance difference. Maybe the font-change miraculously repairs the damage Tages did to the Aspyr build Will try an install of V1. I doubt if any performance improvement over Vista After that, I will have had enough of experiments with Gothic 3 builds.

Off then to enjoy re-visiting Gothic 3 with V1. Find Gothic3. Now right-click on "Gothic3. And if you go back to the game you will notice an imperceptible difference in performance when Set Affinity is just for a single core. Beware, the fact that Task Manager is running in background noticeably degrades the game performance, regardless of whether Set Affinity is just one-core or two-cores. So you need to compare the two Set Affinity choices while Task Manager is still running in background.

Whether this is a quirk of Gothic3. But it is pretty obvious that the gothic3. I have a quad-core, and the gothic3. The main killer on my old rig were load times. Abysmal 1 minute min to load a save game - bletch! Have they got much better these new uber rigs? I've done some checking on this and it seems half and half as to whether Superfetch is good for gaming at all.

The most common opinion seems to be that you should only use Superfetch if you have 4GB or more of memory. On everything else it seems to be a split on whether it does anything useful with games at all. One thing that cropped up a few times was that games use their own methods of caching data. Sounds likes something that should be pretty simple to test but would probably need to be some kind of timedemo over a long enough time to ensure that the whole scene is not being loaded into memory at once.

The later nastier copy-protection system deliberately attempt or succeed installing new drivers on your system. Drivers that deliberately interfere with any programs already installed that look like CP-defeating utilities Alcohol etc.. The very old games had much simpler and non-invasive copy-protection mechanisms -- which meant that cracks became readily available soon after the game's release :- John Lewis.

You can accurately track overall memory usage and memory usage by a specfic running process such as gothic3. In the case of Gothic3, and quickly comparing Vista 32 and Vista 64 overall memory usage, it does seem that superfetch plays a very minimal role, if any at all.

I have an 8GByte system and can dual-boot both Vista32 and Vista I will carry out some more longer-term experiments with Gothic3 and the superfetch potential in Vista in comparison with Vista, while more carefully monitoring overall memory and memory-cache usage. Will let you know. Not quite. I happen to possess Vista Ultimate which has both the bit and bit discs and thus readily enabled the multiple-boot install.

Took less than an hour for both OS. No cleverness involved. Coming back to the gameplay, I started with the new "Alternate Balancing" mode and ran into a pack of five wolves attacking an NPC just outside the village.

If that's what they mean by the new difficulty scheme, I'd run rather the game in regular mode with only the new "Melee AI option" enabled. Created by. Pipboy27 Offline. Languages: English.
