You should be able to directly replace your current ge3.ini (located in your Steam apps dir at common/gothic3/Ini/ge3.ini), though you will want to make a copy of your original file just in case.

Here is a link to the improved ini file I have created so far: Someone on the old forum posted a link to an improved ini file, however it doesn't directly work with 1.75.14, and has some problems. It does seem to make it possible to fix it, however you need to edit the game's ini file to do this. Unfortunately for some reason the patch doesn't seem to directly fix one of the most significant problems I have had with Gothic 3 - the terrible view distance. I've installed this over the Steam version, and it works great. The first thing to do is to install the latest community patch, which seems to be 1.75.14: In the original game, this was never possible, but with the current version most of these problems are gone and we can really enjoy the dramatic landscapes and views in the game. When Gothic 3 first game out, I continually struggled with it to try to tweak it and reduce as much as possible the terrible blurry distant graphics and eye burning transition between near and far detail. Shown above: mountains north of Silden after patch and tweaks. Shown above: mountains north of Silden before patch and tweaks. This guide will show you the basic patches and tweaks I would recommend for everyone, as well as more advanced mods you can apply that have been done by the community.įor motivation, here are before and after screenshots taken from the game after the basic steps provided in the guide, showing the graphical improvements you will see in addition to the basic game fixes and improvements in the patch. Gothic 3 is a great game, but you really must apply some updates and tweaks from the base game you will get on Steam before playing it.
