Gothic 3 1.12 no-dvd patch(euro)

[morelia]

Hello guys, i'm new here so i greet you.

I will start by saying that i own an original Gothic 3 DVD and i would like to find a no dvd patch in order to keep my DVD unscratched PLUS in order to decrease the loading times since tages prot. system makes 2(!!!!) CD checks every single time that you load a save - effectively adding around 40 secs of loading!

I keep hearing bad stuff about nodvd patches for G3.. they say that it further decreases the performance and increases the chances for crashes etc they say it has to do with tages..
I would love it if someone gives me a link for a no-dvd patch 1.12(europe) and please explain this performance rumors and if they are real.

Despite its performance issues and of course being a forced release(feels like alpha to me..) G3 is a great game in my opinion.

Thanks allot for your time!
