Stone dragon regenerating health too fast
So I already beat the swap dragon and now I'm trying to beat the stone dragon (Pedrakhan). However, I think my game is bugged.

When we start to fight, everytime I hit the dragon he regenerates himself to full health in about 1 second making it impossible to beat it. I also noticed he's making some erratic movements like he's trying to get through the walls.

Can someone help me please?

Yes I am wearing the Eye of Innos.

Limit your FPS (system\SystemPack.ini - FPS_Limit=30).

Heal rate is tied to the frame rate (it calculates how much time passed), the game design expects 30 FPS, if you have 120 fps then it is impossible to kill any dragon

I did that, it didn't work.

Can you please tell me how to? Setting FPS_limit to 30 in .ini file seems not to work.

60 fps is also fine so 30 FPS is not needed. You can also set up fps limit in your nvidia control panel (of course if you have nvidia gpu)

I saw I was getting 256 FPS in the fight against Pedrakhan.
I tried setting a FPS limit in Nvidia panel but it didn't work too.

You could use DirectX11 Renderer - in this you can set the fps.

Gothic 2 has V-Sync enabled so I guess your monitor is 256 Hz? If it didn't work with nvidia you probably do something wrong. Find a file that opens gothic 2 and then you can set up fps limit just for one file which should be gothic 2 exe or something similar I don't remember.

How do I know which render am I using?

No, my monitor is 60Hz but FPS counter is marking 256 during Pedrakhan fight.
As I said, it was already done.

If you have not installed the DX11 Renderer than you are not using it.

I'm at chapter 4. Will it be a problem if a install it now?

No, should not be a problem.

I use the Clockwork Renderer in v17.8.0

Thank you, I was able to limit FPS using it.

My question is, while 60 FPS if fine, will a dragon be easier to kill at 30 FPS? Or in other words, since the dragon's re-heal is timed to the FPS, will it heal back more slowly at 30 than at 60? I'm willing to save & exit just before the dragon dialog and reconfig my G2 DX11 INI for 30 fps, but I don't want to do that if it won't make a difference. The older HDTV my PC is connected to has a 60 FPS max, so I set my DX11 INI to always run at 60 and it definitely seems smoother.

I didn't have my FPS set during the Swamp Dragon battle and when going up against it with a Golem and Fireballs it was impossible to deal damage. Somehow I managed to kill it with the assistance of Cypher - still don't know how.
