Gothic 3 1.70 patch released

[boeseschwarzefee]

This is the final patch by the community team (or anyone else for that matter) for Gothic 3

It is a behemoth of a patch, weighing in at over 800mb. It fixes a multitude of problems and adds many different enhancements, ranging from simple terrain item placements to complete rebalancing of combat (multiple humanoid enemies can attack you now! Spamming LMB won't win everything!). There are also alleged performance enhancements.

I haven't played with it yet, but I am really looking forward to this. It's a truly amazing effort on the Gothic community's part, and may finally help Gothic 3 live up to at least a large part of its potential.

If you ever played and enjoyed anything about Gothic 3, but had irreconcilable differences due to its serious flaws, now might be time for one last chance.

So far hearing good things about it. Just need to find the time to download it.

I was really excited about this game when it came out - only to be crushed by the alpha build that had been rushed out. I have been really impressed by the work done by the community teams to date and I for one will have another go at this game.

I hear this patch really smooths things out performace wise too. Any idea what could run it smoothly for anyone that has this new patch up and running? I'd want to play it maxed out if possible at 1680 x 1050.
