Do this work the same via gog galaxy? Cant find any gothic.exe file in the system folder to rename and installing the patch pops up some german text i have no idea what they say

What about for the first Gothic?
or should I still just follow what they recommend in the first post?
Also the Gothic 3 links don't work... I wish I could read German.

By the way the quest pack you are linking to is GERMAN ONLY so it inserts German voices and text into a English game. For those of us who only speak English that questpack you kinked to is WORTHLESS

This post needs to be severely edited. As topken said the quest pack installs German quests, not cool if your not German. The content mod apears to vastly alter or remove the community patch and seems to be a matter of taste rather than a needed mod. This needs to better explained rather than just recomended.

Haven't been on GoG for a while, but just to answer your comments Topken and drpoor:

If you took the time to actually try to install the mod you would have realized even though the installer is in German, it gives you the option to install without the voice and text files overwritten to German. I myself never installed the voice files because I don't understand German at all, but it is a minor inconvenience as all the text has been translated to English.

The content mod gives you the OPTION to alter certain aspects of the game which you can choose to accept or decline. Like I mentioned in the very first sentence of my post, this is not for those who just started the game as it provides an entirely different gameplay experience. These mods have been created with the sole purpose of posing some challenge to those who can play the game through on highest difficulty without any issue as we know every single nook and cranny. It is also entirely optional, so you can just skip the step.

Attached a screenshot to highlight the important bit during the QP installation. I checked every single link and they all work flawlessly, just downloaded everything, installed both G2 and G3 following the instructions above. The game plays in English.

As for the first Gothic, I have not got a clue, Dilutral. Only played the game through twice, you are probably much better off asking someone who has some serious experience with the game.

@Greasynils: I have both games on GoG myself, the above instructions are for this version.

I can't get the game to work... I followed these instructions apart from L'Hiver textures, because I can't find them separate from the whole package (the link is dead), and I have no desire to install the whole mod on my first time playing. Anyway, the game starts fine, but when I try to start a new game, it gets stuck on the loading screen after the intro video. When I check the task manager, I see that the program has stopped responding.

Anyone have any idea what's wrong? I have Windows 10x64.

Oh, did I mention that I can't get even that far with the vanilla? The game won't start at all. One of the mods fixed that, but I still can't play...

Edited, thanks.

I'm finding the OP post really confusing. I want to mod both Gothic and Gothic 2, so I've done all the stuff involving the PlayerKit and the SystemPack. I tried installing the D3D11 renderer, and as the OP post says I put this in the system file for both Gothic and Gothic 2. I changed the name of the .exe of Gothic to Gothic2.exe. When I run Gothic 1 I get a warning saying "Your Gothic-Executable does not match the checksum for this Version of GD3D11.

Perhaps there should be a post in the place of the OPs that goes into more detail about what you need to do for Gothic and Gothic 2. And a lot of the stuff in the OP is out of date, linking to a forum post that is several version behind on a website that is mostly German.

I was going to play Gothic tonight but finding how needlessly complicated this all is I just can't force myself to go any further. Sticky needs updating or replacing.

What patches are already part of the gog executable (Gothic 1)?
I started going through the list of bugfixes in the pcgaming wiki page, but installing the player-kit caused some problem with the borders - which, as I found out later, was already patched in the gog executable and I basically overwrote it.
Are there any other patches integrated with the gog download? I wanna be sure I'm not basically overwriting stuff that has already been fixed. So far I've only found out about the weird borders, nothing about the framerate cap or other things

Unfortunately the GOG version doesn't have anything substantial. Framerate is stuck at 25 and you can't use 16:9 resolutions or any 4:3 resolution higher than 1024 x 768 I think.

Wish this stuff was fixed, since I got it on gog to replace my disk versions...

The best way to play Gothic 1 is to go find an old CRT monitor I guess.

You can check my post on the top of this page for G2, I just updated all the links so it should be fully working.

G3 links have all been updated as well as the worldofgothic website does not allow direct file links anymore by the looks of it. You can find the downloads on the very bottom of the respective pages.

@cloudropis, fuzzmandude:

Player kit 1.08k
FPS unlocker

Since there were no takers I try to make a guide for Gothic I too.

EDIT: copied all in one post here

What does Freddy's world do? Don't speak German
Also I think a note about the borders fix for W8 and above would be useful

EDIT just noticed System Pack fixes the borders already
Is there anything to make the fonts readable and bigger in high definitions? Also, not modding related, what's a comfortable keybindings setup?

To delete..
