i've spent more time trying to coax the vc8clone version to run then only to find it crashes/freezes after all that work. Using razor's update1 crack on the german-converted-to-english-version-with-euro-patch is tons better.
The out of memory error when trying to save is still present in razor's cracked version. I've had it happen to me three times. The first time after visiting every town/city (20+ hrs; before applying razor's patch). The second time after starting over from the beginning (4 hrs). And finally the third time after starting over once again (2+ hrs). I'm just a little fumed. Sure, I've saved multiple times, but it the pause to save takes so long.
Whenever it gives me the memory error on save, the save game is corrupted (thus the aforementioned list of hours lost and doing over and lost once more). I've also noticed that the game process eats up over 1.3 GB of RAM whenever this occurs.
I was perusing the g3.ini and recall seeing several settings like Render.MeshLoDQuality set to UltraHigh. The comment said UltraHigh uses highest quality mode and needs 512 MB gfx RAM and 1 GB system RAM. Doh! On my fourth do-over, I have changed all of the settings from using UltraHigh to just High. Hopefully, this will fix the memory error on save issue. Anyone else encountered this problem and have the same UltraHigh setting in their g3.ini?

Thats exactly what im saying sYn, it can be great but only with a big fat patch, that rebalances a lot of stuff. I havent been to any major city yet, but the one i visited didnt feel alive either. I went to hunt and then brought some stuff to sell it looked exactly like it was when i left, the people who were talking, were still talkign to the exactly same person. The blacksmith just went back and forth from his house to anvil, and most of the rebels were just doing nothing. Lol at least in oblivion NPC were walking around.

Well imo gothic 2 was a heck lot better than this one ofr it's time and even now, I even prefer the gfx, and the whole engine alltogether. Physics in this one are a joke, combat is buggy, even walking around is buggy (sometimes your character just won't go up the stairs so you have to jump like an idiot).
I took a town recently near gotha (huge town going up a hill) with many orcs, i killed like crazy and went kinda far in the town and got lots of xp all the sudden cause i captured the town, then rebels popped up instantly (which is quite lame) and I don't know why but even though they were green they started to ask me to get out of there, and attacked me (so much for liberating the town) so I ended up fighting the people I just fought for...
Story is not that good either, like some people say, you meet key characters and they only have 3 lines of conversation for you (meeting the king is like, "hey you need to do this for me, now get the hell out of here") all in all it's just a sorry excuse for a game and no amount of patching will make it worthwile to me, so I'm just moving on.
PS : also pissed that i payed good money for this but hey, I think many people bought into the hype, but from now on, any title coming from those devs will definitely not get my attention.

If the program only want's to update after you start it try to run Gothic3.exe directly instead of the shortcut, seems they added some extra info in the shortcut that runs the updater first. (Shortcut may point to Kupdate.exe first wich is the updater program)

Hi,
Could anyone describe in a few words the begining of the game? I've got a very fast start, -> intro and directly after that I was in the middle of a fight with the Orcs. Is the game really starting that fast or is it a bug?
Thank you...

Watch the intro movie, it will explain it.
(The Orc's have won the war against king Rhobar and taken controll - for now.)

Game crashes all the time for me. I use the german "Gothic.III.GERMAN.REPACK-Pravetz" release which apparently uses the same crack as the Razor release.
OS ist Win2k, so maybe thats a problem. Will try it on my notebook which got WinXP ...

to |m0uSe| :
[NUKE] Gothic.III.GERMAN.REPACK-Pravetz reason: bad.crack.access.violation.in.engine.dll.at.001b.3016c233
so that could be the problem...

just get any release like the stoned thing or the very first non-working alcohol clone and get the crack of the razor release, works fine.

Just started the game and I get the shadows bug: I can see through dark shadows what's behind and the extension of the world behind the buildings. I know you mentioned it before but could someone help me how to fix this?
Thanks!

Did you balance the value of the items with the merchants gold/items?
(Or did you just sell your own items for nothing in return?)

There's a Balance button in the center, gives you the gold they think it's "worth".
I must say I'm starting to love this game, although some things (Lizard and Wild Boars) come to my mind, how can you win if you get hit once and get raped by those animals on the floor?
Also having the stutter thing, everytime I cross an imaginary border it loads and slows down for a while. Also about the saving, do they call that QUICKsaving? Takes 20s here at least, same with loading (or quickloading). |

I'm not sure which Gothic I like the best, but this is good enough that i'm really enjoying playing it. It's just that there are certain things they changed which didn't need changing that have now turned out worse.

Only a Speech_English.pak file in Razor's release, unsure about text though.
(Assuming the pak file only includes sound files and not any text information)

I think it's a good game. But like many people say; it's unpolished.
I also think fisk should be unbanned.

runnin this on all max settings sm3 4xaa 4xaf max quality textures everything on absolute max, only in 1024 tho cause of my sucky monitor only supporting shitty refresh rates, and its smooth as hell, not even a sign of stuttering
all this on a simple 7900gt ,2gb ram,amd64 3200 (mildly oc'd), nforce4 board ofcourse, usin 5.1 sound with a audigy2
so im puzzled why some peeps say it runs so bad ? and the looks is so amazing its unreal, i believe at all max it even beats the crap outta oblivion by looks as its way more realistic nature, groundtextures,woodland buildup and so on
