I decided to give Gothic 3 another try using the CP patch ( v1.73 now )
Despite a high-end rig: Phenom II x4 920, 4GB Ram, Geforce GTX 260, Win 7 pro 64bit; I've had all of the problems that people seem to have.
First and foremost I had the font bug, 1fps slideshow.
Fix: Replace Gothic3.ttf with any other font (arial works fine) renamed Gothic3.ttf
Then I had nearly-unplayable stuttering. It seems the stuttering comes from loading textures off the disk instead of storing them in memory.
Using the ini from http://forum.jowood.com/showthread.php?t=126976&page=25#363 removed most of the stuttering, it's playable now. This seems to be using about 3gb of ram so I'm hoping I can improve on this yet by increasing the memory cache sizes.
That ini author states it's conservative values derived from the German Board at
Bable Fish http://forum.worldofplayers.de/forum/showthread.php?t=536804 I'm going to try that next see if that reduces the stuttering completely.
I'm just hoping my experiences can help someone who's still trying to play Gothic 3.
