The GOG version does. Dunno if Steam's is different in some way...

But, every system is different so don't take this as a guarantee.

I can't say _ I despise "Steam". Their system is incompatible with a lot of older games and yet, they keep on selling them to their unsuspecting customers.
Ok I will try later,if it does not work I will post and then wait for it to go on sale on gog

Let me explain this GOG vs Steam thing in respect to Gothic series.

Gothic 3:
GOG: There are legal aspects allowing GOG to update the game with unofficial patches, that fix a great number of bugs and improve the game, so that you - the player - won't have to worry about anything else - patch 1.75 that is.
Valve: Most probably signed a contract of a different nature, that let them sell the game with the latest official patch, which is 1.6.
That's why Steam version of G3 needs to be updated manually to 1.75, or it may perform poorly and clunky.

Gothic 1 / 2:
There are no differences between the game versions, and unless "Steam community in-game" option is enabled and might interfere with the game, I don't think it won't work.

I got GOG version on the games, but I ran them through Steam client, and I had no problem whatsoever with it.

That being said, GOG version is DRM free, and you actually buy the game, not rent it.

I can't guarantee anything (there are so many different PC setups) but as someone with Gothic 2 on Steam, I can say with confidence that it works for me.
