Patches

First download:

• https://github.com/abbodi1406/vcredist/releases/download/v0.73.0/VisualCppRedist_AIO_x86_x64.exe
• https://www.speedrun.com/static/resource/ig2mc.rar?v=93bd44d
• https://www.speedrun.com/static/resource/tdmtu.dll?v=69f4778

Then install:

• VisualCppRedist_AIO_x86_x64.exe
• Union Primary Universal 05.02.2022.exe
• Union 1.0k 03.05.2021.exe

And copy the contents of the appropriate folders into your Gothic folder and choose to overwrite:

• "copy into every game"
• "copy into Sequel folder"

Finally copy "OOBSequel.dll" into Gothic/system/autorun.

You then should have the ingame timer in the top left and version "1A S5.0 U1.0k" in the bottom right of the menu.

Gothic.ini & Systempack.ini

The Gothic.ini and Systempack.ini are located in the Gothic\system folder. You can do any changes to your Gothic.ini in video, audio, input etc., but do NOT change anything that would give a gameplay advantage like potion hotkeys, quick saves, inventory settings, etc.

Recommended settings:

playLogoVideos=0

zStartupWindowed=0

If you want to reset your Gothic.ini, just delete it and start the game and a new one will appear. You can also change anything in the Systempack.ini, but all gameplay-altering settings are disabled by the speedrun.patch file.

limiting FPS

You may want to limit your fps for better jumping distance.

frozen screen on videos and loading screens

You can fix this by running the game in the compatibility mode for an older Windows version, but that will increase loading times and lag.
