Community Patch 1.73 - Download/Discussion

[RoiDanton]

Dear Gothic-Community!

We have left some months behind, since we created the Community Patches 1.70-1.72.

It was tight, but in the end we managed to finish it before Septembre ended.

From right now, Community Patch 1.73 for Gothic 3 is ready!

This time this will really be our last patch. We just hope, we don't have to hand out a hotfix afterwards.

The fixes, changes and improvements can be checked in the change log.


Changelog (English)
Changelog (Spanish)
Changelog (Russian)


ATTENTION!
The patch can be installed on all g3 versions and is available for all languages. It's only for original G3 game, not for Forsaken Gods.
The CP 1.73 contains all previous patches. So you need only this patch to update Gothic 3.
1.7x savegames are compatible with CP 1.73. Older savegames (1.60 or earlier) are not compatible.

If you have installed modifications then save it before installing the patch. The patch will delete all superfluously files during the installation. We can't guarantee that all modifications will work with the CP 1.73.
If you have installed the quest pack then you should install it again after the 1.73 installation.

Notification!!!

1. In the Patch, the headknock recipe can be obtained at the following traders: Jensgar, Hanson, Gunnar and Lonar. As with all other items, this recipe will also incidently slip into the trader's inventory after being spoken to for the first time.
2. While using frostwave or ice lance there will be a similar effect like heat haze.
3. We also rewrote a point in the modifiers manual. For two dialogs there will be a message on the screen "New Diary Entry". In the questlog there will be an entry then, which was not voiced. This is about an entry of the hero.
   With this anyone can see if and how this point functions.

Well now, claim this part from the net for yourself and lots of fun with the Community Patch 1.73!

Best regards,

RoiDanton, in the name of the Community Patch Team

God I missed the "New Diary Entry" thingie!Thanks for putting that back in!

[Ergopad]

Awesome. Thanks.

So you found the bug after all...

PS. Can someone explain me what "Leaf subsurface scattering" actually means practice?

Zitat von Ergopad PS. Can someone explain me what "Leaf subsurface scattering" actually means practice?

Leaves will be bright up if the leaves are between you and the sun.

ATI 4850, HDR actived, windows 7 64 bits... and shadows are missing.... T.T

[Maladiq]

Well, what can I say? Thank you guys, fantastic job and hope that after a deserved break (maybe a year, maybe more, maybe less) you will come with the 1.80 patch. I bet you will still have things to improve.

And one question: did JW support you financially all this time you worked on the CPs? You can answer via PM if you don't think it's better that way.

10000000000000000000000000000 THANKS TO THE COMMUNITY TEAM! GUYS, YOU ARE LEGENDS!!!

I really wanna thank you. You have spent hours of your lives so that we can fully enjoy Gothic 3. Unfortunately, a simple thanks is not enough. So...

RESPECT!!!!

I second that. Samething with exact same specs. And also far away shadows are not casting right...

My bad, the shadows are fixed... just put out the antorch...

Which ATI driver do you have?

Zitat von Maladiq And one question: did JW support you financially all this time you worked on the CPs? You can answer via PM if you don't think it's better that way.

We got something for CP 1.60 which was an official patch. But all other patches are unofficial.

What do you mean by (Not actually in use yet.) ?I

[RoiDanton]

Zitat von AngelOfGothic What do you mean by (Not actually in use yet.) ?I

Because these things are implemented for modifications like the quest pack or for the community story team.

RoiDanton, I only got shadows if I put out the antorch... Is it normal? I was using the 9.7 ati driver and now I'm using the 9.9 ati driver... but still no shadows (only with the antorch I repeat... :P)

Try to use the 9.2 ati driver. In german forum it works with this driver.
But I don't know why the newer drivers have this problem.

[Jurigag]

Texture/Shadow/Light flickering eliminated (occured on ATI 4xxx serie cards)

Hahahah, i have driver 9.9 and nothing, i dont have shadows ;/ If i must have driver 9.2 then community patch nothing fixed with shadows, beacause on 9.2 is normal working...... Thanks. I think i can play with no graphic bugs on ati hd 4830...... with patch.

[Bones94]

And what Im the only one with 9.9 that doesn't have any problems And don't start your with a lame video card (ATI HD4830XT lame ? lol )

If I can summarize then texture flickering, shadow flickering and light flickering is gone with CP 1.73 but there are no shadows (with newest driver 9.9).
With 1.72 or earlier patch there is texture flickering, shadow flickering and light flickering and shadows are also there (also with newest driver 9.9).

Is that correct?

Zitat von Bones94 And what Im the only one with 9.9 that doesn't have any problems And don't start your with a lame video card (ATI HD4830XT lame ? lol )

If I'm understand you correctly then you have shadows with 9.9 and no flickering anymore?

[Bones94]

Yezzzz...

[thepunisher047]

thanks for patch i play gothic 3 again

[mkultra]

No shadows on 9.10 4870x2... but these might, or might not be final drivers so..
