HowTo Play Gothic3 [Multi]-- Use THIS THREAD ONLY-DO NOT START ANOTHER!

Do the quality of the game will be lower with that patch, or it will be still the same?

It sounds like the quality getting low because of the tweks....

Sorry for my bad english

No, the tweaks have nothing to do with quality, you set the quality yourself in the game menu. Only things i changed were Cache settings mostly. the custom shader file does lower shader quality, but only for people that choose 1.4 shader effects. if you choose 2 or higher then it won't effect you.

Basicly if you play with settings on high because you have a super comp, then be glad, your game will be even faster ( trust me, it helps even super pc's stutter with this game ). if you have a medium or low end pc, this patch will make the game smoother.

uhm, but this is not an official NoDVD v1.08, right? Looks like the 1.07 exe to me. Well, I cannot try now, because I reinstalled and don't want to touch a running system :P

Correct, and it is in the patch notes i posted above ( 1.7 exe ) it is only partial 1.8, but still it is better to have some fixes than no fixes at all ....

Also i have tweaked the living crap out of this game, with my files above you can now play this game on 512mb ram with a geforce 6200 ... i know cause my brother on his crap pc does..... there is no downside to using the files above.


(only one minor problem is with the custom shader file, if you use shader 1.4 you sometime get a red side effect on cave walls, but small price to pay for huge performance boost, if you use shader 2 or 3 then it won't effect you. )

So, what is the Gothic 3 v1.08 (1.8.25817.0) [EURO] No-DVD/Fixed EXE which is to be find on GCW atm? Is this the same you uploaded here?
I downloaded it, but I am scared to try. Also the exe-Size/Date seems to be exact the same as the 1.07crack...

Hehe, I dont believe in god either, just wanted to thank ya.

I tested it and it seems to work fine, performance does seem better. Boars are now easily dispatched although I did a little less damage to orcs which I can only assume is because the armor fix.

Only problem is after killing the boars for the rebel camp, the game locked. Had to reboot my PC. I dunno if this is because of the crack tweaks or a game bug. Either way playing it was much more fun while it was working.

Now I have need for speed carbon downloading (legally for those who would assume otherwise) so I don't want to risk corrupting the download with more crashes. I'll try it again after EA Link finishes its stuff.

Thanks raymerjacque. This also works with the german version. At least I assume it does. I installed patch 108 and the nodvd patch and the game runs. Dont know where you see the version number.

I think it has made an improvement but I didn´t have much time to test it as the main thing I was hopeing the patch would cure hasn´t and as before I had to stop playing after a few minutes.

Dont know what´s causing it. A few minutes into the game (up to max. 15 mins) black shapes appear and random textures become see through and certain graphics stretch......untill I cant make anything out.

I had the same problem with another game, cant remember which. I thought it was something overheating so I installed sensors but nothing was showing hot.

Any ideas to solve this would be great.

Man!
download the XtremeG Drivers 9689 from Tweaksrus and play the game, without OC the card. And make sure you have selected Shader 2.0 or 1.4, not 3.0, If you selected 1.4, do not turn DOF o OE, if you use 2.0 , turn on OE in the Post Procesing settings!
