[Solandor]

Hi,

CommunityPatch 1.5.2 - Thread here


don't use the old CP 1.5.0 or 1.5.1 Downloads anymore

thx

Spoiler:

Hi,

After a long time waiting since Community Patch 1.4 we present you now the next Community Patch 1.5, which again marks a giant leap in our o so young CommunityPatchTeam-history.

Next I would like to point out that this Community Patch 1.5 comprises mostly only gameplay fixes. We will try to make more fixes in cooperation with Spellbound in future patches. (Announcement for this here (German))



What does the CommunityPatch 1.5 include:

• All previous fixes that have been published in the Community Patches up to and including 1.4

As well as the following Highlights:

• – The river and ocean sounds
• – Ingame time display with graphics
• – adjusting the depth of field-effect in the options menu
• – Quicksaves with time mark
• – Roast meatbug meat at a campfire
• – New random loading screens
• – As well as a slight optimization of the memory usage
• For all the other fixes, see the CP 1.5 Changelog

Requirements:

The Communitypatch 1.5 requires a Gothic 3 installation with the official patch 1.12 (Download).



Download:

• Community Patch v1.5 ~26 MB
  
  
• Changelog (English)
  
  
• Readme
  
  
• More Download-Mirrors can be found here

Note for language versions:

Compatible language versions:
German, English, French, Spanish, Italian, Russian, Polish, Hungarian, Czech, Chinese (simple), Chinese (traditional)

For the following languages there is currently not yet a reworked stringtable.ini:
Chinese (traditional)

For the following language is included no Stringtable.ini:
Chinese (simple)

What is a Stringtable.ini?
The file which contains the gametexts.



Installation:

The Community Patch comes with the by now well known comfortable installer, such that this time it automatically uninstalls the previous CPs and then also automatically installs the CP 1.5.

More information and support can be found in the „Readme“-file of the patch.

Be aware that certain changes will only take effect after starting a new game and also that possibly present gothic 3 modifications could lead to problems. Therefore it is recommended to remove these before a new game or the installation respectively. The same counts for any backups in the Gothic 3 directory.


Epilogue:

A big „thank you“ to all participants for this patch, either as fix-maker or beta tester (from WoG or JWF), for your great work – with this patch we bring Gothic 3 a big step forward – big thanks for that

Regards
Solandor aka General Martok, translation by Nameless2


Note:
this is an unofficial patch by fans for fans. Other bugs and problems might possibly appear by the use of such patches. Hence, the installation occurs, as usual, on your own responsibility!



EDIT - ATTENTION

We have finished now the community patch for the Russian version. I must say thank you to the Russian publisher who has helped us.

Sounds awesome, great work guys!!

I'm curious about just one thing though, - You can't give healing potions to summoned creatures anymore. Did you change that because you though it made summoning too powerful? It's not a complaint, I'm just curious.


Again, thanks for all the work you guys have done.

[Sergius64]

Yey! I'll try it again now. And be more careful with saves. Somehow still had Crash while saving with 1.12 and 1.4 community combination.

[SteelWizard]

That change-list looks FANTASTIC!

Great job all of you!!!

[Kein]

Big thanks all of you, guys! Great work!

Yes, really big thanks for all
But here is a little problem with russian G3 - it use another DVD protection ({censored} StarForce ) So new exe(dll-s) does not run at all. And how safe to get it from 1.12? How many fixes depends on exe? I still found only one - clock in menu does not working. Is it safe to play with old executables?

We changed that because for logic reasons - where does the potion go when a skeleton takes it? (for example) There has been a report in the bugtracker complaining about undeads drinking health potions.

Hi!
I play now in gothic, I have 1.12+1.4+1.41 community fixes installed. Can I install a new patch, is it compatible with saves that I have actually ?

I found some bugs, playing in gothic in version 1.41, so I describe it here for future fixes. Or maybe I start explaining my comp. config:
Amd Athlon x2 64 4000+, Abit KN9, Nvidia Geforce 8600 256MB Palit, 2gb ram.
I have a polish version of gothic and windows xp service pack 2.
I also have some suggestions:
Bugs/problems:
- sometimes when we use ALT+Tab to minimalize game we can't return to game, I have black screen and thats all only way is kill the game, sometimes if we push a few times "ESC" button it work but not often

- Can be changed thing when we stole sth, and we have to fight with someone, this NPC would speak with us again after fight ?
E.G.
- I cannot bring back a letter for Bradley in Montera, because I stole it and beat him.
-In quest in Montera for Marik, about loyalty of (don't know how soldiers are named in eng version, mercenaries ? hirelings ? hessians ?) those his soldiers. After I found Ashton's list in chest near Arena in montera. I don't know why :/ Because of this i cannot have 75% trust in Montera ;/. Thos wolves i cannot find too.

Suggestions:
- better physics,
- new quests, maybe new skills like hmm 2 shots from the bow at one time (with 2 arrows),
- maybe modification in questbook, and change it to old style from goth 1 or 2, that was better. Of course some translations may be need.
For now it's all,
Regards

Great job lads! I'd buy you all beers if you were here this is a reason for a new g3 rerun!

Try casting spell amnesia on them.Probably they will forget bout your crime.



To find wolves,check this map:

We lately found out that the russian (and polish) version of Gothic 3 use different copy protection systems than other versions. We're on our way to find a solution, but until now

The Community Patch 1.5 is not compatible with the Russian or Polish version of the game !

Yes, they will be compatible, but some changes will make effect only if you start a new game.

This bug happens often not only with g3 but with a lot of games. I dont think it is patch related.

For this please check the gameplay board.
