I haven't played G2 yet. But I'm guessing it's the textures slowing you boys down.
Newer games demand more than 64MB DDR vid card memory now-a-days.
Sadly, I only have a GF3 w/ 64DDR. I hope someone finds the reason for the slow downs by the time I get G2 in my hands. |

The GeForce3 is good enough.
300% viewing distance is meant for high end systems only. 3 GHz, 1 GB RAM, etc.
G2 runs a lot faster than Gothic on 90% of the map.

Yep...The system slows and gets jerky in the city but I think its due to all the action that is taking place in the city that you can see. It is definitely a visual thing because when I turn down a ally the system speeds up.

Maybe the interior of every house within the viewing distance is also rendered.

They are, but most of the models are low quality (low polygons).
Maybe it's your CPUs that can't handle the massive amount of ai... Or it could be the textures are too high.
Either way, 100% view distance was restricting in Gothic 1. So I'm hoping to run around with 300% view in G2. |

I don't know if this'll help you or not but it seemed to give me much better framerates all over (apart from the few seconds when loading stuff into memory for the first time)
Edit your gothic2.ini file (system folder)
change geforce3HackWBufferBug=1 to 0
This will likely cause strange flickering in the game, so...
change zSkyRenderFirst=1 to 0 in order to sort this.
You can also edit the amount of ram allocated to textures somewhere in there. As I say, I don't know if this'll help you but it certainly did for me. You can always switch them back again afterwards.
(Also - don't switch on the quicksave function, bad thng seemed to happen to me when I did) |

Quicksave is still not 100% stable. Thatīs why itīs not officially supported. I had no problems with it because I only used it when I was doing nothing. Quicksave during a fight will most likely result in a broken savegame.

tut tut... the developers should look into occlusion culling (maybe if someone has time, they could write a patch?!?

If they didn't, the measurement would be SPF (seconds per frame).

Again, it's unsupported and you have to enable it.
If you use it - never save in dialogs or interactions.
