hiya, im using a: 32MB SDR ati radeon with DVI and S-video out, SBlive!, 256MB sdram, 1.1 athlon...when i turn the game on, the movie plays, then when the game is about to play the screen turns a light grey then the characters are totally "ghost" meaning no detail at all. the background is somewhat there, but tends to 'meld' with characters...i need help. DL'd the drivers from ATI (not sure that its the right one) part # for card is:6001675, and the bios is: version 001.001.000.054; bios part #113-76801-100, to no avail, have latest 8.1 Directx...any suggestions?

Search the forum for working driver versions.

Itīs also worth a try to disable fog in the gothic.ini.

zFogDisabled=
default is 0 change it to 1
