I'm bad with titles, but here goes anyways:
I have recently purchased Gothic 3 (really loved the first two plus the expansion!), and for some reason I'm forced to play on lowest settings possible.
A little more about my computer:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4200+ 2.2 GHz
1 Gig of RAM
GeForce 8600 GT (recently purchased, works fine with other games on high settings) 512 MB
Windows Vista
I seriously don't understand how some of you manage to run it on slower computers, but I'm getting <10 FPS on lowest settings available.
I've read up on official forums that changing fonts can help, so I did that, but still haven't received any increase in FPS.
I know my RAM is kind of low, but that doesn't seem to be the issue with most people from what I have read so far.
Is there any explanation to my unusually low FPS with my current specs?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
EDIT: Forgot to mention, but yes, my computer meets the yellow requirements written in the sticky above. Kind of makes up for the reason to post.
EDIT#2: Even though I have all the settings sliders set to low and everything turned off, I will attempt tweaking the .ini file tonight, but I don't think it will work since I already have all the special effects turned off. *SIGH*
