yess !!!

@WitheredRose. I had the same issue. You can use this instead {链接已删除}https://github.com/kirides/GD3D11 {链接已删除}https://github.com/kirides/GD3D11/releases/tag/v17.8-dev26

Download GD3D11-v17.8-dev26.zip and extract it into your gothic 2 system folder. Make sure you unsubscribe from this mod first. It should fix the problem.

You can then download dxvk 2.6.2 {链接已删除}https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/releases/tag/v2.6.2 ( dxvk-2.6.2.tar.gz ) and extract the dxgi.dll and d3d11.dll (Win32 for both). Note you need 7zip to extract this, you will see another zip after you extract it. So extract that.

Then put those WIn32 files in the gothic system folder. This switches the game to use Vulkan which is much better for GPU VRAM management. I don't have lag using the Kridles fork on AMD GPU when using DXVK.

Is it normal that after loading a save, game is extremely laggy for few seconds? It starts at 4-5 FPS and ramps up to normal ~140 that I have set limit to.
GPU is AMD - RX 5600 XT.

If you have issues with stuttering cap frames on 60. worked for me at least.

I downloaded the latest version from SaiyansKing from github, it doesn't have the crap that the workshop version has and the performance is better, I recommend it.

Fix the quiet sound in rooms, caves, etc. It is impossible to play, several updates have already been released, the bug still remains

Good question, why they don't merge the repositories?
Because... ffs, I hate this.
Gothic 1 DX11 mod? Good
Gothic 2 DX11 mod? Stuttering shit

First I downloaded kirides version. It works but indoor sounds are bugged and cant hear NPCs.
Then downloaded the Saiyans version. Indoor sounds are fixed, but when launch it says I'm using AMD driver and i can experience crashes due to memory issues. It recommends to use DXVK which I have no idea how...

For anyone still having issues with this here's a quote by Kirides https://github.com/kirides/GD3D11/issues/189 "The Renderer requires up to date vc_redist.x86 to be installed. See the readme, or go right here https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x86.exe " If you on Linux you can do protontricks 39510 directmusic dxvk vcrun2022 and have to remove "*dsound"="native" in /compatdata/39510/pfx/user.reg like before and add launch command WINEDLLOVERRIDES="ddraw,dinput=n,b" %command% if you on latest proton-ge you don't have to do these 2 steps. Make sure Steam doesn't reinstall (Microsoft VC Redistributable) with older version when launching because it was happening to me and it broke things.

I suggest to stay on SaiyansKing version, it is much more stable and better.

I also get the quiet sounds. I walked into Bosper's store and his dialogue couldn't be heard

Why do they develop 2 separate versions? Why not just work in single repo since they are just forks of same project anyway?

I just got a private instruction crash where it said D3D11 somewhere so I assume it's something related to this mod. I also assume it's something related to admin privileges? How can I solve this? I already set admin privileges for Gothic 2 and Workshop Mod Launcher but the problem persists

The latest version creates a problem, in rooms or caves, dialog sounds become too quiet, I've tested this several times without extraneous plugins. (Archolos)

@Carryonnaire: The issues should be reported on kirides and/or SaiyansKing's GitHub page (links above in the plugin description). Note that not everyone is affected by the latest updates to GD3D11, so it's something related to Proton layer, Vulkan or gfx driver. I didn't look into the issue more closely, but I suspect it's one of the three.

The legacy fork just has the September 2024 release which was working ok for everyone.

Indeed, it was the reason. With legacy version everything works normally. Where to report this bug? Original or fork?

Could be. You may want to try the legacy Version from @Dragos https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3463896995

Does this mod by chance also deal with sound? I was away from game for couple months and now all sounds in interiors are muffled. Coincidentally this mod also had few updates in that time, so could it be reason?

For anyone that still has an issue, I made a legacy version of GD3D11 https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3463896995

New version has own dinput.dll file as like GRawInput and therefore those people, who play with GD3D11 and GRawInput, set GRawInput in workshop launcher above GD3D11 to replace dinput.dll of GD3D11

New version just released https://github.com/kirides/GD3D11/releases

What happended after the last update? This mod with version v17.8-dev20 does not work at the moment. Can you please revert the changes and upload the old version?

Workaround:
1. Go to: steamapps/workshop/content/39510/2787015529/system/
and delete all files inside this folder.
2. Download old version: https://github.com/SaiyansKing/GD3D11/releases/download/v17.8-dev17/GD3D11-17.8-dev17.zip
3. Unzip all files in the folder steamapps/workshop/content/39510/2787015529/system/

D3D11 Renderer Mod is now working again.

In the change notes there are old versions linked, if you download the files from version v17.8-dev17 and put them in the current mod installation folder this mod will work again.

I AM SUDDENLY UNABLE TO PLAY!!! What happened? I've got over 80 hours into this game, started and quit dozens of times. Then today I try to play and I get G3D11 renderer not working error message. So I unsubscribed from it. Tried to run the game without it, and now am getting another error message.

ARE MY 80+ HOURS GONE? Uninstall, reinstall and start over? This was my very first experience using Steam Workshop (with ANY game) so I'm not understanding what's going on. I see this was updated Mar 10, is that the problem? The update broke my game? Is there any way to get it back????

Congratulations , you done f*cked it up....the thing was working fine and now my steam deck sessions are ruined....perfect example of "if something ain't broke , don't fix it"

Someone removed my comment xD. I understand. If anyone wants it to be working again, you need to switch the mod files for a previous version which probably is not the way to go when using steam, it's better to wait for fix. Nonetheless it helped in my case.

please fix for steam deck

access denied outta nowhere. how tf can i play on deck now

Same, it worked yesterday...

Suddenly it is not working??? ANyone experiencing error? Yesterday it was working fine.

@Hlumak
I installed the new version, but now every time I shoot a dart with the crossbow the game gives me an error.

działa elegancko nawet z modami ! dzięki

Anyone else finding this mod to make sound ingame a bit weird? such as spell sounds not playing etc?

how to resett settings to default ?

Error, GD3D11 Rendered couldnt be loaded Access Denied(0x7e)

Can a mod provoke white graphic artifacts? Their number is minimal and not so noticeable, but they are there by themselves, and considering that I have mods only for fixes + this render, it feels like it's from him. Although.... I just looked and saw the gold remaster still installed. Are they in conflict with render?

"draw world intersections" на что влияет?

I would advise against subscribing to this:
- it's not uploaded by the author
- it's not being updated
- Steam Workshop re-downloads this on every game launch and overwrites your custom textures making i.e. "Vurt's Clouds for GD3D11" mod impossible to use

It's better to download latest D3D11 from github and install manually.

You don't need this 4gb patch, it is already included in the default content.

First english then deutsch

Hello. If I activate this mod on Steam, I can only play TheNightOfTheRaven. It is not possible to play Gothic 2 Classic. It worked the first time I activated it, but then it stopped working. How can I use the GD3D11 renderer with the normal Gothic 2 version?


DEUTSCH:Hallo. Wenn ich bei Steam diese Mod aktiviere, kann ich nur DieNachtDesRaben spielen. Es ist nicht möglich Gothic 2 Classic zu spielen. Beim ersten Aktivieren hat es noch funktioniert, danach nicht mehr. Wie kann ich den GD3D11 Renderer mit der normalen Gothic 2 Version nutzen?

where is that 4gb patch link please. when i save in the gothic crashes the game.
help me please i love this game.

There is a nighly build:
https://github.com/kirides/GD3D11/releases/download/nightly/GD3D11-git.zip
but I got an error
GD3D11 Renderer couldn't be loaded. Access Denied(0x13d).

@Zgredzik No idea, probably Steam's fault. Try changing the GD3D11 settings directly in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Gothic II\system\GD3D11\UserSettings.ini

I tried changing any of the settings from default and clicked apply, i restarted the game and none of the settings saved for me and resetted to default, any one know why?

My bad, didn't know you have to opt into the workshop beta on steam to make workshop mods work

Subscribing to the mod didn't seem to properly install it for me. I had to follow the installation steps from the linked GitHub repo and then it worked.

@Shrek
Just because i'm having problems while using this mod does not mean it's bullshit. If you have a probable way to fix this issue, please say it.

My game is only stable without this mod.
Mods that i'm using:
Union - Patch for Gothic 2

At some point I tried the 4GB patch but it didn't helped.

Bullshit. Completed the game with this beatiful mod, it worked more stable, than without it

Dont use this mod, is causing huge stuttering and high usage of gpu, use this render only on Gothic 1.
