How to setup OpenMW for modern Morrowind on Linux / SteamOS and Steam Deck
How to install Hollow Knight: Silksong mods on Linux, SteamOS and Steam DeckRecently Updated
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!
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.
