After a series of non-official patches for Gothic 3 we finally got another official patch version: CP 1.75. It can be installed on every Gothic 3 version, is available for each language and contains all previous patches.
You have to start a new game after the installation. Old savegames are not compatible.
There were several changes since the last official patch: Beside countless major and minor bug fixes, graphics and performance improvements there an “Alternative Balancing” and alternative A.I. was introduced with CP 1.70.
Compared to the previous patch (1.74) CP 1.75 offers widescreen support for the menues, new graphics options (like color grading or FXAA) and decreasing of stuttering by using a shader cache.
In addition to this the patch includes a ModKit, the Gothic 3 Genome Lite Edition. Using that ModKIt there are possibilities to change or create new game contents in a limited ways. There were also more possibilities added for modders. The new features and the ModKit are explained in the respective modder manual and editor guide.
Changes in that patch will be listed in the changelog and further explained in the readme file.
Advices for installation:
Older Gothic 3 patches will be de-installed automatically while installation. During that process the backup file „ge3.ini“ will be deleted which was saved by previous community patches. It is necessary because the patch takes important changes in the ini-files.
While the installation moifications in the installation folder could be lead to problems. Therefore please de-install all modfications before installing CP 1.75.
Compatibilty:
Savegames of the 1.75.12 Version (Gothic Complete Edition and Gothic 3: Gold Enhanced Edition) can be used. Savegames from older versions (1.74 and older) are not compatible.
ini files of versions 1.74 or older are incompatible, too. Do not replace the ini files with older version because it could cause errors.
Modifications which were released before CP 1.75 are incomptaible without adjustments (except it is a texture patches only). Look into the description of a modification whethere it was adjusted to CP 1.75 before you install it.
Modkit:
The installer for the modkit is in the folder „ModKit“ in the Gothic 3 installation folder. A guide will also be installed for the ModKit.
Advice for installation: It has to be installed in another folder than the Gothic 3 installation folder. Installing it in the G3 installation folder causes errors.
