I can finally play this game with pulling my hair out trying to get a stable framerate. Want to know what I did to get this one running? Double clicked the icon on my desktop and pressed enter on 'New Game' the GOG version runs flawlessly for me anyways. I messed around for hours trying to get Gothic 2 to run at a steady framerate, installing patch after patch after patch, disabling overlays and underlays, and compatibility modes and editing. Worth a shot I guess but I would back up the game as is so you don't have to re-download it if it doesn't work.

Apparently the SystemPack fixes a lot of issues with the game especially for Windows 7/8.

The Steam version is a complete POS compared to the GOG version. I've found this on one of Steam discussion topics. I just bought the GOG version.I am sorry to say this but you are absolutely wrong. They all should be almost or even completely the same.ĭespite of this it should be able to make the game work even on actual hardware, but it can be maybe a little bit tricky to do so, especially with the steam version, because most stuff wasnt made for this version and maybe wont even work with it. Dont know about Gothic 1.Īlso I dont thinkt that there are (beside of DRM, copyprotection and such) big technical differences between the gog, the steam or the retail version of the game. Debating using a community patch, about which I can't get any reliable information. Want to play through it again, joining a different camp. ThomasD313: Gothic 2 was never almost bugfree! But you usually were in most cases able to play it through (if not in the normal way, then with cheats). I played the game once before (have it on Steam) and enjoyed the hell out of it.
