hollunder: Can someone post a minimal set of patches and the order in which to install them? Per game? This stuff is pretty confusing.
MaGoth: Hi, hollunder
See here::
http://ge.tt/3jQkwGx2 System requirements and software (ver. 1.7)
Min requirements:
— WindowsXP SP3 and upper;
— DirectX 9C with final updates and upper;
— 32-bit display.
Necessary software:
"GOTHIC1: Classic" — Gothic Patch 1.08k(Only for Steam), Gothic1_PlayerKit-1.08k.exe, Gothic1_PlayerKit-2.8.exe
"GOTHIC2: Classic" — Report ver. 1.30 (fix)
"GOTHIC2: The Night Of The Raven" — Report ver. 2.6.0.0-rev2 (fix), Gothic2_PlayerKit-2.8.exe
In case of "GOTHIC1", SystemPack supports:
— Both sources that come with PlayerKit: Gothic.exe and GothicMod.exe, versions – 1.0.8.11(1.08k);
— Original (not modificated) source Gothic.exe, ver. (1.08k), that will be renamed from Gothic_backup.exe to Gothic_snowball.exe during SystemPack installation (only for Russian version "GOTHIC1" by 1C/Snowball Interactive);
— GothicMod.exe patched with the GothicFps-108 fix by NicoDE.
Installation info
Common recommendations:
— Install and start all applications with admin rights;
— If possible, install the Pack on “clear” version of the game (without other mods or patches installed on it);
— If there was other version of "SystemPack", remove it with deinstallator.
— Delete all packs/patches and other fixes (if were installed), which were to fix bugs that are fixed by this System Pack. We do not guarantee proper work – the Compatibility has not been tested.
— Update your audio and video drivers to latest version.

In the meanwhile we have finished Gothic 1 & 2, which had a couple nasty bugs remaining.
Gothic 3 unfortunately ran so horribly bad on Linux through WINE that it's unplayable.
