Patch 1.75 Steam Beta Branch
Hello,

As promised we now have the 1.75 Patch integrated into a Steam branch:
To access the beta please do the following:
Follow this guide https://ds.thqnordic.com/SteamBetaBranchGuide.jpg
Under Step 1 select of course the Gothic 3 entry in the library.
You dont need a password for step 4.
The branch for Step 6 is named "cpt_1.75_testbranch"

For the Steam Edition we had to use a launcher application that makes sure the language in the ini under My Docs\gothic3 is set correctly and the Shader.Cache file is copied over there. We hope this doesnt introduce any problem. Any feedback is very welcome!

Not sure if this is just me, but at step 6 it only shows 'gothic3_1.6_legacybranch',

You probably have to restart Steam.

I thought of that just after posting. Restarting Steam indeed fixed it.
Thanks anyway for replying, and of course the optional patch.

Thx for this :)
But a little problem: I can't use HDR/Bloom or Depth of field. When i use it i get a black screen, i can move and hear sounds but only the HUD elements are visible.
Maybe related to the shade.cache?
btw in the past it worked when using cp1.75.

I use Nvidia drivers, updated 2 weeks ago.
On a manual install of the CP it works. Tested some minutes ago :)

Can you try again? You should be able to install it over your Gothic 3 Steam installation.

We dont have any further patch plans. The Gothic 3 Patch project was closed with 1.75 for good.

No, I think it wont be the case. But its awesome that we have the beta-option!
Maybe you should mention it on the shop-page, so buyers know.

This is how i did it the first time. After i got the blackscreen i removed all local files and installed it again, with the same issue.
Downloading again right now, as i manually installed the communtiy Patch for testing.
Pretty fast connection here, so it shouldn't take long. I'll report after that.
