Gothic 3 With all updates to Enhanced Edition

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Visual c++ 2005 Redistributable, if you have vista or windows 7 it might say it failed to install driver because it's outdated, just click ignore, it will then ask if you want to install directX, odds are you already have a better version so click no.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. __________________________________________________________________________________________ As long as you followed these instructions it should be installed perfectly, so please don't leave neagative comments asking for further instructions or help, because I already gave you all the info I have, so look for forums or guides if you have any problems. -RageWarrior666

Please seed after downloading, and be sure to read the above info carefully, it's a copy of the info file i wrote wich is included in the torrent.
Enjoy!!!

geamandura (2009-11-06)

Thanks a lot man, it really shows how much effort you put in this. I'll seed it to a cca 10 ratio. Cheers!

Garganfunker (2009-12-03)

Thank you very much. It works perfectly !

David2443 (2009-12-06)

seed please!!!!!

owns_1 (2009-12-07)

Pirate bay should have a filter that eliminates anything saying "SEEEEEEDDDDD PLZ!!" Jesus christ, what are you 10? I bet you are the same people who ask what an iso is. Torrenting is not about people seeding, its about people uploading as they download, so they can give what they have to other people. My advice, stop capping your upload, and stop fucking whining.

asia_rules (2009-12-15)

Interesting, i'll give it a shot, lets check out your work dude!!

asia_rules (2009-12-15)

What if i do not download the patches??? Is it not gonna work or what?? :o ??

asia_rules (2009-12-16)

Hmm by the way i already have QUAD CORE CPU, 4GB DDR2 -800MHZ Ram, Graphic card Palit 9500GT 1GB Super
820GB HDD
what do i need??? hahahaha :D

asia_rules (2009-12-16)

I should not have no fear lol.....it can run anything :D
By the way i'll buy 9800GTX 1GB DDR3 most probably by 2010 Jan :p
(lil' show off")
hehehe

RageWarrior666 (2009-12-16)

Ok, thanks for the positive feedback guys, and "asia_rules", The patches get rid of the disc check, so it probably wouldn't run initially but you could probably get a crack from gamecopyworld.com if for some reason you really don't want the patches.
We all know this but i'll say it anyway, "seed is a need", so please keep it going if you can.
p.s "asia_rules" your computer sounds tight .

Mr-Rivet-Head (2009-12-26)

Cheers for this share,
my retail dvd got crushed after my office chair ran over it xD
Reagrding the patches guys they help a SHIT load for this game,
unpatched its pretty bugged sadly :(
And regarding asia rules talking about your ever so powerful "9500gt" which is to be downgraded to a "9800gtx" my dear those are OLD cards,
Hell im running two radeon 5970's here in crossfire with an i7 cpu and its a breeze in win7,
Here's hoping the next gothic supports dx11 for tessellation then we would have some graphics worthy to rival crysis!!

dezzspair (2010-01-04)

to asia rules.. no one gives a fuck what mommy and daddy bought you you dont need to show off on a leecher site. your not cool. my quad cor 8 gig of ram radeon 5770 would laugh and piss my thc laced urine all over your face and tell you you need an upgrade. show offs piss me off. kk thnx bye qq bout it. and btw ill never be here to check your flamed responce. fuckin gook

passalacqua (2010-01-06)

Thanks a lot man works perfectly
got one question about Alternative AI how do I get this I have the target locking problem

RageWarrior666 (2010-01-06)

passalacqua, as long as you install the patches, from the difficulty settings in the options, just select alternative a.i and you should be all set.

passalacqua (2010-01-06)

thanks alot

RageWarrior666 (2010-01-07)

No Problem, enjoy

Mavese (2010-01-12)

Thanks for this RageWarrior! I'll seed for awhile

patrickfitzpatrick (2010-01-17)

I have had a lot of problems with Gothic 3, vista, a duff shop-bought disk and numerous downloaded versions that didn't work. If this DOES work I will be seeding at 50kbps for a month or longer. Thanks :)

patrickfitzpatrick (2010-01-19)

Can anyone here confirm that this game does run on vista without any further messing about after having installed the patches? I hate vista, it's a real heap of shite.

xDrTran (2010-01-19)

@dezzspair
Dude, you need to grow the fuck up, he feels like he can show off, let him do it, the Internet is for freedom of speech, not to mention you were just a fucking hypocrite, saying that your computer was 'better'.
Then you go ahead and insult a brand of Graphics Cards, man, you're worse than the Console Fanboys...
Grow up please.
But, back on topic, the Torrent is good, haven't tested yet, I'll reply later.

Capnn (2010-01-26)

I made an account on this website just to vote and write a comment. Best torrent I've seen!! Keep doin what you're doin, we appreciate it

Necrol (2010-02-04)

i found a trojan horse in 4-Gothic3_patch112
Best not download -1

RageWarrior666 (2010-02-05)

to Capnn, glad to hear you like it.
to Necrol, there is no trojan, stop spreading lies.
there always seems to be at least one person who claims there's a virus in every torrent, I assure there isn't. But if you don't wanna believe me download the patches yourself at worldofgothic.com or wherever you want

schokoxx (2010-02-21)

the DL speed is ok... about 50kb/s

loser1234 (2010-02-22)

RageWarrior66,
Thanks for this, I like to try before I buy esp software, you've spent a bit of time doing this for other's benefit, not your own, its much appreciated.
I've downloaded the files & spent a few hours today installing/reinstalling the game & just want to help you/ others with my feedback:
My McAfee software blocked the installation of a 'trojan' whilst running "4-Gothic3_patch112". There was an information popup with details but it closed after a couple of seconds, as it didn't fully install it corrupted the whole installation. As per your comment timed/dated at 2010-02-05 05:17, I reinstalled but directly downloaded patch112 from worldofgothic.com. Again, McAfee blocked a trojan from being installed! I tried again uninstalling & reinstalling using patch112 from the 'official' site, http://www.gothic3.com - EURAKA: there were no problems with this file, after which the community patch 1.73 installed ok [NB after its doubled clicked it takes a minute to start] and the game ran ok.
The graphics were 'juddery'/ slow refresh with the default settings but are now smooth with your settings, thanks for adding this info.
I read somewhere that it is the community patch 1.73 which includes the code that negates the need to load/mount a disc - from my experince (testing pre/ post installation of 1.73) this is true.
Conclusion
RageWarrior666 you have honerable intentions!
This does work fine, however:
- If patch file 4 causes a problem - possibly your virus software blocks installation - completlety unistall game, download patch 112 from the Offical site & reinstall whole game again but with the file from the 'official' site.
If you are asked to load/ mount a disc when trying to start the game perhaps you haven't installed community patch 1.73 fully (or not at all).

loser1234 (2010-02-22)

Further to the last comment, I've done a full MacAfee scan of my PC. It's picked up & quaranteened the following 'trojan' with the option to restore:
Artemis!OAFA4DF6DC4C
I think this is the 'trojan' reported by McAfee when installing the patch112.
Googling this...
"Artemis is the "Active Protection" part of VirusScan and can be turned off if you wish. Basically, if something unknown is detected, it dials home to compare with the latest database. If it's not found and it thinks it could be malicious it tells you that it has quarantined whatever it is. Then it's up to you to decide.
It's dealing with unknowns so it can't make the final decision for you. It was only introduced in the last year or so." http://community.mcafee.com/thread/7222
Looks like McAfee is being oversensitive in this instance given this was an 'official' patch!
F@@king computers!

cranswick (2010-03-13)

Thanks in advance - Saw someone playing this - looks good!

BATISTA_BOMB (2010-03-28)

redbullah (2010-04-26)

download speed ranges between 120-170 kBps with my 2 mbps connection (26 Apr 2010). i have one question to community;
i read the instructions of ragewarrior. it says it is the FINAL patch for 1.73 community patch. i guess there is no need of installing patches that numbered 1 to 4. check this FAQ page of patch team: http://www.g3cpt.eu/s/faq/15. here goes the question and the answer:
Question
Does CP 1.70 include every previous patch?
Answer to your question
Yes. It contains both all patches from Piranha Bytes (up to and including patch 1.12) as well as all Community Patches.

There are only a few exceptions, namely some changes from older CPs, which based on request from many gamers have been removed from the fix package. The items meant here are:
Suppression of the "Stun-Lock"-Animation
Change of the voice of the hero, when he is hit ("Argh!")
The effects of the skill "Manaregeneration" was reduced [This reduction is now only active when "Alternative Balancing" is turned on]
written by Solandor @ 24.03.09 00:49
this is the answer for 1.70 patch but i believe same thing applies to 1.73 patch too. ragewarrior, thank you so much for your efforts. but maybe you have to change your instructions about patching order. can anyone confirm?
with best regards.

ncrpts (2010-05-12)

Hi, first i would like to thank you for sharing, i just have one question : what language are in this release ? is this multi5 or only english ?

SKiNmanikin (2010-05-17)

I updated all virus detection software and it does NOT report any trojan crap.
This install works PERFECTLY!!! I played it for a few days now and it WOULDN'T CRASH!!!
So, THIS GAME RULES!!! XD

alexaras1313 (2010-05-20)

alexaras1313 (2010-05-20)

RageWarrior666 (2010-05-20)

alexaras1313 the patches remove the copy protection, as long as you install the patches you shouldn't get that problem.

Grizz1931 (2010-08-08)

I downloaded this game and did everything the instructions say, I'm using daemon tools to mount the .iso file, but when I click to play it gives me an error message that says I need to insert the disk. I know I've got it installed and have reinstalled many times, it shows up that it's mounted within daemon tools window and in My Computer, so I know its mounted properly, but just keeps telling me to insert disk and keep it in during entire gameplay. Anyone got any tips on this?

CheesusTehLord (2010-08-11)

i loved the step by step instructions, got it working really fast
too bad nobody else can write such intelligent instructions

JnF47 (2010-08-16)

Great guide Ragewarrior666!!
Please seed people.

JnF47 (2010-08-16)

The game is just red for me in game but the install etc worked fine. I have a ATI radeon 9550 / X1050 series graphicscard

RageWarrior666 (2010-08-17)

Grizz1931, after the patches are installed you shouldn't need to have it mounted, so you can unmount it, and as long as the patches are installed that problem shouldn't occur. But if for some reason it does perhaps check gamecopyworld for a nocd crack, although it shouldn't be required.
JnF47, Kinda funny I have that same graphic card, old as it is, and had that same exact problem a while back. If you didn't try the settings I posted, try them, if it still doesn't work you may need a better driver. I use the omega driver bundled with the ati tray tools, I believe it is a shader error in the graphics card and if simply turning down the shader setting in game didn't work you can tweak the shader settings with the ati tools. But for full info about that you should look online, just know that it is the 9550 card which is to blame, although it is correctable as I got mine to work.
I'll assume due to the card you have XP like I do on this PC, for the omega drivers, if you go that route go to:

amanan (2010-08-21)

Hi, I have a problem. I downloaded and installed the game with all patches as you said. When I start the game, everything is allright. But then the Main menu appears and there are no letters of the menu! (like new game, option etc). There is only the main screen where I can't do anything. Any idea where a problem can be?
Thank's for advice

martinb94 (2010-08-21)

Hi does this gothic 3 has the expansion pack gothic 3:forsaken gods?

martinb94 (2010-08-21)

i think 108 patch is the expansion patch but im not sure?

RageWarrior666 (2010-08-22)

amanan, it could be a problem with the installation, I remember something similar happened to me where there was no text but the buttons did work, try reinstalling for now and make sure your direct x is properly installed, the direct x web update is a good way to do that.
martinb94, Forsaken gods is not an expansion, it's a completely seperate game, so no it's not included.

martinb94 (2010-08-23)

ok tnx for the answer

martinb94 (2010-08-23)

1 more question if i have instaled the expansion pack gothic 3 the forsaken gods and instal the patches from this torrent and the enchanced edition will the expansion pack stay or will it be replaced by the enchanced edition

blackout27 (2010-09-01)

ty for upload worked fine

hippie_420 (2010-09-04)

hippie_420 (2010-09-04)

ok i got patch5 installed and now when i try to play the game it says Gothic 3.exe caused a EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION in engine.dll

eriks14042 (2010-09-29)

"Gothic 3 with all updates to Enhanced edition"
how high is this updated currently?
i know that the latest became 1.74 a day ago or so,

lav94 (2010-10-13)

Taloq (2010-11-11)

Works great with no problems at all... didn't need to change any settings so its all maxed on Acer aspire 6920g. Thanks RageWarrior666.

dw57481 (2011-02-12)

Has anyone else noticed that it is...you know...in Italian? Or am I the only one having that problem?
How do I fix it? Assuming that I can't read the menus and such...their being in...ya know...Italian?

dw57481 (2011-02-12)

Figured out the Italian issue, in case anyone else gets it!
Go to "My Documents", then "gothic3" and select "UserOptions."
Make sure these two settings say:
VoiceLanguage=English
SubtitleLanguage=English
There you go!
