2 opposing goals ->
1) minimize stuttering
2) minimize the appearance of "smart heap library - out of memory" error
After a lot of testing I can play for hours now - tweak the ge3.ini:
;use these cache settings (25% more):
Cache.SizeImage=160000000
Cache.SizeMaterial=80000000
Cache.SizeMesh=87500000
Cache.SizeSound=100000000
Cache.SizeCollisionMesh=50000000
Cache.SizeAnimation=50000000
Cache.SizeSpeedTree=12500000
;and these maxmem settings for medium resource cache:
;settings tweaked towards high
ResourceCache.u32ImageMaxMemUsage_Medium=96000000
ResourceCache.u32MeshMaxMemUsage_Medium=60000000
ResourceCache.u32SoundMaxMemUsage_Medium=20000000
ResourceCache.u32MaterialMaxMemUsage_Medium=21000
ResourceCache.u32CollisionMeshMaxMemUsage_Medium=17000000
ResourceCache.u32AnimationMaxMemUsage_Medium=35000000
ResourceCache.u32SpeedTreeMaxMemUsage_Medium=800000
;comment this one out:
;ResourceCache.u32ImageMaxMemUsage_TextureQualityHigh=350000000

Play with resource cache and texture quality on medium
Before gothic starts your windows memory load should not go over 350 MB -
use msconfig to disable unneccessary service and starting- programs.
Play with a 2GB (min=max) swap file.
And, to be safe, use Shiron's mem-tool:
