Patches
Community Patch 1.75.14 fixes numerous issues, improves performance, graphics and stability, and adds a basic modding tool-set. Using it is strongly recommended. It is also a good idea to enable 'Alternative AI' in the options to take advantage of a much improved combat system. Note that saves from some earlier patch versions are not compatible. This patch is also available as a public Beta branch.[1]
- If you experience problems try Community Patch 1.73 or Community Patch 1.74 instead.[2]
Gothic 3 Update Pack
The Update Pack works on top of the latest Community Patch and includes a number of bug fixes and quality of life improvements. Also contains tweaks to combat and additional features for modders.
Enable the Community Patch 1.75 beta branch
- Steam users can opt into downloading the latest Community Patch.

- The app ID (39500) may differ in some cases.
- Treat backslashes as forward slashes.
