In this weekend promo we decided to gather a group of [url=http://www.gog.com/en/promo/assorted_games]assorted classics where everyone can find something for their taste. Until Monday, February 28 at 11:59 p.m. EDT the loot seekers can grab Arx Fatalis for $3.59, blood thirsty fans of carnage will probably go for POSTAL: Classic and Uncut for $3.59 and POSTAL 2 Complete for $5.99, while armchair generals will pick either the medieval themed for $3.59 and [url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/stronghold_crusader]Stronghold Crusader for $5.99 or the brain-twisting The Incredible Machine Mega Pack for $5.99. You have to agree there's a whole lot of diversity in this offer. The promo is not a bundle one, so you'll receive the 40% discount if you buy one, two or all the games from the offer.

I bought the Incredible Machine set and am enjoying it a lot, but I'm still on the fence about Arx Fatalis.

Hm... :(

SolRevr: I've had some issues recently with Arx Fatalis 1.21 on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit with an Nvidia GTX460 card.
I was still getting the fatal memory error, and also often had stuttering during melee combat.

Finally got it to run pretty well, even faster framerates:

Set your Arx exe to Windows 98/ME compatibility mode

Go into your Nvidia control panel and set the following:

Maximium pre-rendered frames = 8 (I really found this smoothed out my framerate a LOT)
Multi-display/mixed-GPU accel = Compatibility Performance mode
Power management mode = Prefer maximum (not sure if this really helps but why not)
Texture filtering - Negative LOD bias = Clamp (when this was ON my stat numbers disappeared!)
Threaded optimization = On

I can't do 1680x1050 in Windows 98 compatibility mode, but the game runs really smooth now where before it was not getting the best framerate even after the 1.21 patch.

I attached an image of my Nvidia control panel settings.

This game is rad, I hope everyone can enjoy it!
You should really throw this info on the forums.
