Gothic 3 Forsaken Gods Enhanced Edition: very poor performance
ziabice Aug 14, 2017
Hi,
I installed Gothic 3 Forsaken Gods Enhanced Edition under WINE-staging-nine but performance is very poor, in the range of "completely unplayable". I'm using MESA with radeonsi.

Because I'm very beyond the recommended PC specs for this old game, I started as usual setting the resolution to 1080p and maxed the graphics detail, CSMT enabled. The result was a little more than a slideshow. Trying to lower the graphics details didn't help too much.
So I lowered the resolution to 720p and tried again from "max detail" to "lower": the situation didn't change... I tried then to selectively enable and disable graphics details, but the situation was the same.

Launched the game using Gallium Nine and experimented a bit with graphical settings but the results were the same.

I'm trying to reach at least 30 FPS.

I havent tried the game under Windows, so I don't know if the low performance is a "feature" of this game. Someone of you want to share his experience with this game?

Any help will be very appreciated!

Forsaken Gods is pure grade A garbage.
Gothic 3 with the community patch is a fun game. Quite great in my humble opinion. I wasted an entire summer on it getting all 3 endings. (unless there were more and I forget)

The "expansion" cuts down the game area , breaks canon and was made by a studio in India the publisher contracted the game to after they took the IP from Piranha Bytes.

It crashed frequently when i tried it on windows (back in the day).
The performance was piss poor and not much you could do about it.

I tried installing Gothic 3 (with community patches) and it works better than the expansion. Has strange stuttering, but I'll give it a go
