It's possible to run G1 in a window while observing monitor at same time. With the game running, do a "Ctrl + Esc" then Ctrl/alt/Del into task manager, run resource monitor to observe any adverse or over activity or bottlenecks. How many windows resource threads are running? - experiment to get as low as possible.ġ0. Check Win-Xp is set for max performance? (rather than vid quality)ĩ. Maybe select 16 bit video and lower resolution to experiment.Ĩ. Do the Bink video cut scenes run o.k ? (eg: at game start up)Ħ. Can you run the 'cube' in DirectX diagnostics o.k?ĥ. Go to 'add and remove programs' -> G1 - then select and run 'repair' (just to be sure all is installed o.k) all saves will be o.k.Ĥ. Remove all patches as the international versions 1.08j and 1.08k of G1 are fully patched and run straight out of the box.ģ. continual low FPS generally points to video performance problems, some things to try……Ģ. I am actually afraid to even try Gothic 2 or 3 until I can resolve whatever's wrong with Gothic 1 first.Ģ3, 24, 25 FPS are all perfectly normal per the game design timers. My stepfather's PC is the same specs as mine, but he has the Nvidia 8800 GTS video card with 512 MB on it. I can run Risen, Oblivion, and Neverwinter Nights 2 with no problems. I also tried enabling / disabling Vsync and nothing worked. I tried setting the game to High Priority and to run on Core 1, but nothing worked. I really could use some help.Īny ideas as to the cause of the slowdown/stuttering at those two locations, and how to solve it? Here are my PC's specs…ģ069 MB Virtual Memory (Since I know Gothic 1 uses a lot of this!) My stepfather has a copy of Gothic Collection that he paid $39.99 for at and he too is having this problem with the game, the slowdown and freezing when using the Playerkit. He paid the pounds equivalent of $9.99 for the game in the budget section of an electronics store in London, for Heaven's sake! So it is certainly a legal copy of Gothic 1. I tried to post for help at World of Gothic and some idiot acted like my copy of the game was pirated and told me to buy the game AGAIN! I said: HELLO! I have the box, the manual, the discs, and even the receipt my cousin gave me. However, installing that not only did nothing to remove the stutter and slowdown in those two locations… but the Playerkit also makes the game freeze whenever I climb the ladder in the Fog Tower during the Chromanin quest. Over at World of Gothic I inquired about it and they told me to try the FPS remover which requires the 1.8k Playerkit. Here's the trouble: the game's FPS is stuck as 25 but when I enter the nest in the Old Mines and the huge idol chamber in the Sleeper Temple the FPS goes down to 10 or less! Thus making the game unplayable in those locations. It's the English version and had to be patched to 1.8k from 1.8j. Ok, so during the summer my cousin bought me a copy of Gothic 1 while he was over in the UK.
