tranceland: Can you point me to a working widescreen patch for Windows 8 64 bit ?
See the following pages for details:
Gothic | Widescreen Gaming Forum Gothic II | Widescreen Gaming Forum The settings detailed there will make the games run at whatever resolution you set (the in-game Video settings will still show the previous resolution but the game isn't using it).
Note that for the Gothic 1 method you will need to make a shortcut directly to Gothic.exe; the shortcuts made by the GOG installer can't be used for this.
The default location for Gothic.exe is:
C:\Program Files (x86)\GOG.com\Gothic\system
If you changed the folder when installing Gothic then you'll find it in the "system" folder wherever you installed the game to.
Once changed the Gothic 1 shortcut target box's contents should look something like this:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\GOG.com\Gothic\system\Gothic.exe" -zRes:1920,1080,32
Finally, if Gothic/Gothic II shows a window border while running fullscreen
follow these steps to fix it. The games will then display without it as intended.
If any of this wasn't clear just let me know. :)
