The game is still playable as is and I have learned to ignore the sky, but this is something I'm going to try and fix. The out of depth sky problem is now the remaining thing. The world of Myrtana in Gothic 3 has a ton of torches, campfires and burning buildings! The black smoke and haze is distracting in 3D and is especially annoying with lots of burning buildings but thanks to Helix's mod, I have disabled two vertex shaders that were responsible for this. I have easily put in over 100 hours into this game and is quite good in 3D with the exception of two major problems.Ģ.) Black Smoke and Haze effects around anything with fire The patch is huge at almost 1 GIG and is highly recommended.
The community patch makes an incredible difference to this game in terms of graphics, game bugs and performance.
I have the retail version with the community patch installed. One game I decided to look into for fixes is Gothic 3.
