Video settings
Template:Video settings
- Gothic II only natively supports 1280x720, 1280x768, 1280x800, and 1440x900.
- The widescreen mod below makes the game Hor+ instead of Vert- and lists most widescreen resolutions.
- Task-switching may cause repeated Tab input when you return to the game (simply press Tab again to make it work normally).
- Task-switching during video cutscenes will crash the game (there are only a few of these).
- See Windowed for the limitations of this mode.

Issues fixed
Black videos (sound but no picture)
- This is caused by forcing anti-aliasing. Either method below will fix this.
Fullscreen border (Windows 8)
- Gothic and Gothic II show a window border in fullscreen mode on Windows 8.
- The GOG.com version already includes this fix.
Poor performance
- Gothic II may have poor performance on some systems, e.g. a low frame rate.
"C: maximum texture size is lower than 32" error
- This error happens if Gothic II isn't able to automatically change to 32-bit color mode.
Can't Alt+Tab (GOG.com version)
- The GOG.com version prevents task switching to avoid some potential issues (e.g. crashing during FMV cutscenes).
Constant Tab input after Alt+Tab
- After task switching the game may constantly repeat Tab input; press Tab again to stop this.
