Vulkan Patch & ReShade Preset. Work with all version of the Game
Vulkan Patch:
You need DXVK (use 7-zip), Right clic on the shortcut of the game, select open folder, past d3d9.dll
ReShade Installation:
Launch ReShade installation, install it for Gothic 3 with Vulkan (or Dx9 for Vanilla) and skip all, past the content profil of RESHADELITE ("reshade-shaders" folder and "ReShadePreset.ini" file) in the game folder, launch the game, press "home", skip tutorial, select "settings" and add in the options the Shaders and Textures folders which is located in "reshade-shaders" folder, reload and check performance mode for better result. If you want a downgrade your profil (ex: Ultra to High) you will need delete "reshade-shaders" folder before.
For better result desactivate ingame option: HDR, DOF, Noise, Lens and set the Brightness to 0%.
Other Optimization: Gothic 3 Parallel Universe Patch v1.0.4 file - Mod DB
is it possible to turn off all the colour palette changes? i want to keep the visual improvements without the oversaturation
Hi dioxyde, yes you can disable FakeHDR or / and Cartoon with ReShade overlay by pressing "Home" or delete in "reshade-shaders" folder.
also, how is the vulkan mod different from the parallel universe patch? they seem to have the same goal. which one is better?
The Parallel Universe Patch change Something Stuff but dosent change the API, Vulkan makes better use of the new CPUs and GPUs, especially at the Vram level, see the video.
can i use the two together? i already had parallel universe installed prior to discovering this little gem
Yes no worries it does not affect the API, and good game in gothic land
