I mean I use the highest resolution and everything is flying just fine BUT when the hero runs and the new areas get loaded (which happens all the time) the game freezes for a couple seconds. Otherwise, no problem.

Solution: get RAM. As much as you can afford.
It's more like this game still have memory leak issues. I've heard quite a lot of complaints from players in a number of forums I visited, including JoWood's forum as well. I know getting more RAM will considerably help for a game like this but to be honest, the fact that players with 1GB and above even encountered crash problems does make me question the stability of this game.

I sincerely do hope this memory leak issue will be resolved as soon as possible. Even graphically demanding games like Company of Heroes which requires 512MB as minimum and 1GB as recommended can run on my rig fairly fine without any crash problems (there are still stuttering problems when playing the game).

UPDATE: Okay, I recently encountered some graphical glitches when playing the Gothic 3 demo after updating my Nvidia Forceware drivers from 91.47 to 93.71 (My card is Nvidia, by the way). My advice is not to update to 93.71 and just stick to 91.47 version of the driver.
