Gothic II and a gamepad

[gregst]

Greetings and Happy Holidays,

Anyone know how to get Gothic II to work with a gamepad. It says it full supports it, but I can't figure out how to activate it. Gamepad works fins in The Two Thrones....

Thanks in advance,

Greg

Browse to the Gothic II / system folder and open the Gothic.ini file. Scroll down to

enableJoystick=0

and change it to

enableJoystick=1

then you can re-map the controls in the menu.

I also recommend that you change both

zVidEnableAntiAliasing=0
zTexAnisotropicFiltering=0

to

zVidEnableAntiAliasing=1
zTexAnisotropicFiltering=1

Most modern PCs will have no problem with these settings and it improves the graphics a lot.

There are many other settings you can change here but I imagine you should do so with caution.
Maybe someone else has other knowledge on how to improve visuals and/or performance?

I have a PS2 to USB adaptor that allows me to use a PS2 controller on my PC. Let me tell you that Gothic 2 works beautifully using a controller and I can't imagine playing it another way. The new XBox 360 controllers would probably be great too. That's my next purchase so I don't have to use an adaptor
