Gothic 2 Gold Edition - Outdoor Low FPS/Performance

[Badaszek]

I installed it nearly 30 times and evertime im exiting Xardas Tower from 60 fps it falls down to 10-30 fps. My computer has got 4gb of RAM, Intel Core i5-5200u, AMD Radeon R9-M375, so on 1920x1080 it should work perfectly but fixes, system packs, player kits doesn't work. Please help.

I had same issue. There is some DirectX update but i had more problems with FPS so you can try it ( just google it) . Anyway, it just happens when you watch towards Khorinis from some distance, nowhere else. Even in city it's quite nice FPS. :D

same boat, installed and playing without DX, IMO just set the view distance to 180% for world and 100% for objects, also go to systempack.ini and change the numbers as below:

SPAWN_INSERTRANGE=7000
SPAWN_REMOVERANGE=8000

OutDoorPortalDistanceMultiplier=2
InDoorPortalDistanceMultiplier=2

still immersive and should be smooth to play, you likely won't miss the 300% since usually the view will be covered by buildings or trees. hope this helps.

if still don't like it, ingame options, turn off WIND (nice tradeoff, likely won't notice a thing).

Decrase view distance and disable wind in game's settings - good advice.

Actually these settings should be set to 1.

I can also recommend turning off the radial fog: really buggy and outdated technology from dx7 era:
gothic.ini - zFogRadial=0

Right click on the game exe file that runs the game either the original or the modded one. Select run graphic proces. and select your graphic card. Game is old and for me at least can only be run with the d3d11 mod and forcing it through my graphic card with the method mentioned.

You can also try changing this setting to 0
DrawDistanceMultiplier=0
