For those who want to have a slight speed increase. This build includes the changes from Kirides Github dated 06. March 2021 plus more smart pointers, AntTweakbar.dll assimp-vc142-mt.dll compiled with the latest c++ compiler, directx libaries and failure logger updated. For info about the changes of Kirides see Kirides Github GD3D11 page.
Implemented usable beginning with Windows 8.1 and a WDDM 1.3 compatible graphics driver LowLatency:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/win...-3-swap-chains
The game is more responsive to inputs via e.g. keyboard, mouse, gamepad, etc.
It can be enabled via UserSettings.ini with LowLatency=1 .
It can be activated in the ini file even on Windows 7 but will not be used due to it checks for availability.
You can press F11 and enable HDR in this configuration windows to have general brighter colors or use a lamp or torch. Via CTRL+F11 a HDR tonemap can be selected. Previously standard tonemap was ACESFittedTonemap now it is ToneMap_Simple based on Kirides Github but as well other tonemaps can be selected. I prefer ACESFittedTonemap (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academ...ncoding_System) which needs more computing power and is as well used by Unreal Engine 4.
When you selected an HDR tonemap other then the standard ToneMap_Simple go into the F11 menu and press apply to save the selected HDR tonemap profile into the UserSettings.ini so that it is for the Gothic game start selected.
The following applies to the code on Kirides Github and this release. Currently in the file UserSettings.ini the variable SmoothCameraUpdate is wrong named. The variable name needs to be different named. With the variable set to 0 smooth shadows are enabled with 1 the shadows are jumping.
