Template:Infobox Gothic (series)
Availability
Version 1.08k Patch
The latest Gothic patch is version 1.08k. Digital distribution versions already include this patch. To check your current patch version look at the bottom right of the main menu box.
Issues And Fixes
If you got stuck in level geometry you could get out by using console commands or key commands in cheat mode. To open cheat mode type MARVIN on the character screen. Pressing the key F8 gives you full health and teleports you a few meters up. Pressing the key K will teleport you a few meters forward.
Windows 8 fullscreen problems
Gothic and Gothic II do not go fullscreen correctly on Windows 8. The following steps will fix this problem.
- Download the Fix Package and save it somewhere convenient
- Download and install the Microsoft Application Compatibility Toolkit
- From the Start Screen launch Compatibility Administrator (32-bit), or Compatibility Administrator if you're on a 32-bit version of Windows
- Click Open
- Select the fix package from step 1
- Choose File>Install
That's it! You're done! Both Gothic and Gothic II will now enter fullscreen mode correctly.
Steam Version violation errors
If using the Steam version of the game and you are getting Violation errors, try right clicking the game in the Steam library and choosing "Properties". From here, de-select the "Enable Steam Community In-Game" option.
Unresolved Issues
- Disparaging inventory item icons on ATI 1xxx series.
Improvements
Player-Kit
The Player-Kit is required for playing mods. To install it, do the following:
- If you are using a disc version ensure you have the latest patch (see Patches).
- Download and install the Player-Kit.
Mods can now be installed. The in-game version number is changed to 1.08k_mod.
Note that Gothic will now show a mod selector window when launched instead of going directly into the game; if you want to launch the original unmodded game directly, change your shortcut to point to GothicMod.exe instead of Gothic.exe.
Unlock frame rate
Gothic runs with a frame rate of around 25 FPS. To raise this, install the Player-Kit, then install the FPS patch (right click, run as administrator).
Video settings
Widescreen resolution
Gothic has native support for 1280x720, 1280x768, 1280x800, and 1440x900. For other widescreen resolutions, do the following:[1]
| Instructions |
|---|
Using this shortcut will launch Gothic with the chosen resolution. The in-game video settings will still list the previous resolution, not the one you set in the shortcut; this is normal.
The shortcut can be put somewhere convenient for easy launching (e.g. the desktop or Start Screen/Start Menu). Existing shortcuts will still launch the game without the widescreen fix.
