...at least he posted it at the bottom of a 4 page thread about non-specific Gothic game mods instead of making a new thread where other people would see it.

Hallo,
I'm hoping to get into this game, but am facing problems getting it to run.
System:
Win7 32 bit
i5
Radeon HD 7900
DX11
Status:
Gothic runs without modifying any settings.
Have applied resolution fix (my screen is 2560x1600). Crashes at startup with following error:
X: XD3D_InitPerDX: Can't create D3DX context ! Error: DDERR_INVALIDOBJECT
Once I get this working I intend to install player kit & texture patches & FPS fix.
EDIT: Ok, just discovered that the max res is 2048x1536. Game works with that setting, but is only taking part of my screen. Anyone know of a way to go past that res, or at the very least, stretch it across my screen?
EDIT 2: I ended up setting the resolution to the nearest neighbor under the max res (2048x1280) followed by opening Catalyst Control Center > My Digital Flat Panels > Properties, under Image Scaling check "Enable Scaling" & select the option "Scale image to full panel size". Hope this helps those in need.
I'm gonna apply the other patches now.
EDIT 3: Well, it's working great. I'm thinking I'll ditch mouse controls in favor of full keyboard. I still have 2 problems though:
1) I cannot see my health bar
2) When I open my inventory, all I see are all the items' 3D models stacked glitchily on top of each other & covering the item description box, which itself goes a little beyond the bottom of the screen.
Any suggestions?

copy gothic.in gothic.ini /Y
gothic.exe
exit
Save this as gothic.bat (all file types) in the same folder. Launch as normal.
1) Open gothic.ini.
2) Scroll down pretty far, almost to the end, and look for a line called ExtendedMenu.
3) Change ExtendedMenu=0 to ExtendedMenu=1.
Now the game will allow many more screen resolutions right from the in-game options, and it won't change your gothic.ini file if you set it to a larger resolution. I use 1920x1200.

I think this should be mentioned by now Gothic System Pack

• Disabled cache unloading when minimizing the game;
• Modified low FPS and showing window frame in full-screen mode on Windows 8 and 8.1.
Video:

• Disabled limitation video file resolution.
Sound:

Use Gothic 2: Night of the Raven guide instructions. As far as I'm aware it's not even possible to get install the classic Gothic 2 with the GoG installer.
It definetly worked here ;)
If you need further help I will do my best, but I should strain that I'm not the creator of the mod/fix and therefore can't help with in depth problems :/ ;)

The links to the gothic 2 Ironkeep community patch in the OP seem to be dead, but I managed to track down a torrent, so if it helps anyone, you can get the torrent here

Which mods would you recommend to include with the entire Gothic playthrough
(i.e., which mods for Gothic 1, Gothic 2 Gold, and Gothic 3)?
Is there a list of Gothic mods on GOG ...as far as I checked I did not find one
...I'm looking for ...sort of a complete mod (compatibility) list or similar.
