To give you an idea of what you would be getting in to, first here are some comparison screenshots to the game running with only my basic tweaks (on the left) and the content mod textures (on the right).īefore continuing, note again that installing these mods may have undesirable side-effects that slightly reduce the overall polish of the currently patched game. I generally like the new appearance they provide, but this can definitely be a matter of taste. Note that, more than improved textures, these mods actually change the style of many of the textures. Most of my interest in them is for the improved textures unfortunately I can't figure out a way to get them installed with only the textures - you'll need to settle for some modifications impacting the game, from new dialog that doesn't have spoken parts, to the additions of the Content Mod without those quests but a warning that some parts may not work well because it depends on the quests. I think the game is fine without them, but if you want to push it further these seem pretty good.

I have been playing with the Questpaket and Content Mod enhancements, and can give some instructions for how to get and install them. įor those curious, here are some more before/after screenshots from various places in the world, before these changes on the left and after on the right.Īt the dig near Trelis looking towards Varant. If you are the kind of person who likes to spend time tweaking things, you can read farther into this guide on the more advanced content. The difference will be much more obvious when you are moving around in the world.)Īt this point you have the game in perfectly working shape and ready to be played and enjoyed. (The key thing to note is the detail in the farther hills and trees. Shown above: looking out from Ardea tower after applying patch and tweaks. Shown above: looking out from Ardea tower before applying patch and tweaks. Here are some screenshots taken from on top of the tower in the initial town of Ardea, which you can use to see if the graphics tweaks have applied correctly. If all goes well, you should now be able to launch your game with almost a whole new world before you. One other thing I would recommend is to go into the game's controller settings and completely turn off mouse smoothing. I also fixed a few issues such as reducing the ROI (the distance characters are shown) to avoid an issue with audio cutting in and out.

I don't recommend "Very High" - it doesn't seem to make a notable visual difference. This setting runs great on my GTX560Ti, using "High" settings. The main changes I made from the original "far distance" ini file was to rework the High graphics settings to include all of the advantages I really wanted (using highest quality textures, nice far view distances) without going overboard. You should be able to directly replace your current ge3.ini (located in your Steam apps dir at common/gothic3/Ini/ge3.ini), though you will want to make a copy of your original file just in case. Here is a link to the improved ini file I have created so far:

Someone on the old forum posted a link to an improved ini file, however it doesn't directly work with 1.75.14, and has some problems. It does seem to make it possible to fix it, however you need to edit the game's ini file to do this. Unfortunately for some reason the patch doesn't seem to directly fix one of the most significant problems I have had with Gothic 3 - the terrible view distance. I've installed this over the Steam version, and it works great. The first thing to do is to install the latest community patch, which seems to be 1.75.14:

In the original game, this was never possible, but with the current version most of these problems are gone and we can really enjoy the dramatic landscapes and views in the game. When Gothic 3 first game out, I continually struggled with it to try to tweak it and reduce as much as possible the terrible blurry distant graphics and eye burning transition between near and far detail. Shown above: mountains north of Silden after patch and tweaks. Shown above: mountains north of Silden before patch and tweaks. This guide will show you the basic patches and tweaks I would recommend for everyone, as well as more advanced mods you can apply that have been done by the community.įor motivation, here are before and after screenshots taken from the game after the basic steps provided in the guide, showing the graphical improvements you will see in addition to the basic game fixes and improvements in the patch. Gothic 3 is a great game, but you really must apply some updates and tweaks from the base game you will get on Steam before playing it.
