• "Save game crashes after 10 minutes": You are trying to load a pre-rev2 save file. Rev2 alters the save structure. Start a New Game.
• "Water reflections are black": This is a driver conflict. Set zWaterQuality=0 in Gothic.ini.
• "The game runs too fast" : Rev2 unlocks the tick rate. Go into the new Gothic2Fix.ini (generated after first launch) and set MaxFPS=120.
