Gothic 3 With all updates to Enhanced Edition

This is a copy of the info file provided in torrent:



First and Foremost this as a copy of my own leagl Gothic 3 Disc, so be thankful, and

secondly all the updates are from worldofgothic.com, I do not claim ownership because

I didn't make them, I just downloaded them and put them all in one folder.



Now that that's out of the way, asuming you already have or at least know where to get

a virtual drive emulator, here are the instructions.







1.Mount the Gothic III.iso file, not the .dvd file using virtual drive emulator such as,

daemon tools or magicdisc, if autorun dosen't come up just open the disc via my computer,

and launch the setup.exe, and install it to wherever you want (default is C:/program files).

after it completes it will try to install Microsoft Visual c++ 2005 Redistributable, if you

have vista or windows 7 it might say it failed to install driver because it's outdated,

just click ignore, it will then ask if you want to install directX, odds are you already

have a better version so click no. When prompted make sure to deselect "check internet for

updates" (because I've invluded them), and click finished, if the autorun pops up again

just click quit.



2.Unmount the Gothic III.iso



3.Go to the update folder I provided, I Renamed the patches with numeral order so just run

them in order from 1-5. In case you don't know what I mean, run them in this order:



1-Gothic3_RelUp_EUR

2-Gothic3_patch108

3-Gothic3_patch109

4-Gothic3_patch112

5-Gothic_3_Community_Patch_v1.73_Int_Full



(the fith one is the doosy, it has all the community patches from worldofgothic.com in one,

but it is the best one bringing it up to Enhanced Edition, For full info check out

worldofgothic.com or find out by playing)



4.Play game and enjoy, no crack required, keep in mind if the game runs slow, it's not an

installation problem, gothic 3 needs tremendous ram, and even if you meet the specs it's a

huge game and you'll probably have to tweak the settings, I'll write some reccomended

settings below, they might reduce the graphic quality a bit but the game shaould run much

better. please also note that if you find graphic errors, this is a perfectly clean

installation, so try my reccomended settings below, but if you have errors still, it could

be a hardware issue, the gothic franchise are not known for auomatic compatability, you

might have to do a bit of tweaking to get it to work as I said, and if my settings don't

work for you, there are plenty of forums and guides on the internet that will be more

helpful than me. These are known issues, but anyway hopefully that won't be a problem, and

enjoy the game.





Reccomended dettings:



Click Options:



Details:



Distance(High detail): Low

Distance(Low detail): off

Resource cache: Medium

Object detail:Medium

Shader quality: 1.4 (depending on what your graphic card supports, 1.4 is lowest so should

be supported by any graphic card)

Texture quality: Medium

Texture Filtering: Anisotropic

Vegitation Quality: Off

Vegitation View Range: Low

Shadow quality: Off

Lens flare: Off

Depth of field: Off

Rim lighting: Off

Anti-Aliasing: Off

Soft Water/ Particles: Off



(notice I have all of the extra features set to off and low, the game still looks great,

just not as pretty as it's full potential, but the game runs much better, after that it's

up to your computer)



Video: Leave as is, just make sure the Resolution is set to the same as your regular screen

resolution.



Audio: Set volume controls to your preference, I reccomend subtitles as they are very

helpful during gameplay, and speakers should be set according to your setup, leave default

unless you have surround sound or something like that and set accordingly.



Controls: Leave default for now and configure as needed



Difficulty: your preference, Easy is of course the basic setting, Medium increases enemy

hit points, damage, and battle intellegence to higher levels, Hard does the same as medium

but to even higher levels (hardcore gamers ONLY).



Alternative A.I.: Is something I strongly reccomend as it fixes MANY problems with the A.I.

of followers (So they don't get stuck on edges or fall of cliffs as often). And it fixes

the target locking problems (target locking is when beasts such as wolves, etc. would

attack you repeatedly making any action impossible, I remember one time i defeated a whole

village of orcs, then got killed by one wolf because of target locking I was unable to

attack. Anyway Alternative A.I. fixes that, cheers). It also makes enemys more intellegent

providing an even balance.



Alternative Blending:



What alternative blending does is somehow (not sure exactly) alter the way you level up

and learn skills, originally your character could master everything and become nearly

godlike, but with alternative blending on you become more selective, and

specialize in areas, such as Hunting Skills to pick off enemies before they reach you.

Or One-handed and or Two-handed weapon mastery for high powered close combat, possibly

using a shield in junction with One-handed weapons, or later mastering Duel-Weilding.

Or of course there are magic class skills as well, Innos (fire and holy spells), Adanos

(Water and Nature Spells), Beliar (Pretty much all dark magic).



So Whether you wannabe a Master Hunter killing enemies from afar, A Hardened Fighter

Slahsing through foes with whirling blades, or a brooding mage bending the fabrics of

will and arcane, it's up to you.



Or if you'd rather gradually become a master at everything, then leave off alternative

blending.



Note that once you start a game with or without alternative blending, it's set, you can't

change it, you'll have to start a new game in order to change it. But don't worry it won't

delete your old game if you start a new one. You'll just have a different set of saved

games.
