GD3D11 VS WorkshopDL

GitHub

I've just checked, OBS captures Archolos (Gothic 2) without problems for me. I suspect it may have something to do with the Directx11 patch. It's a nice thing to have in general. https://github.com/kirides/GD3D11

Got it! One last question for you: Since I plan to use GD3D11 and there seems to be quite a lot of forks available, what's the recommended version here? E.G: kirides version, SaiyansKing version, etc? Or it doesn't matter?

5) (OPTIONAL) If you find the vanilla lighting and rendering too bland, and want to make your computer work a bit for nice lighting, Install the GD3D11 renderer: https://github.com/kirides/GD3D11/releases/tag/v17.8-dev9 By putting all the files into your Gothic/System Folder.

Give the d3d11 renderer a try: https://github.com/Kirides/GD3D11 This will probably perform best if you don't enable all the enhancements.

GD3D11 v17.8

For a new player, for both Gothic 1 and 2, the only things you need are Union and Ninja. If you're feeling like upgrading the graphics a bit too, the DX11 renderer is a great option.

you can try https://github.com/VovoloGames/WorkshopDL ,also could you link the mods that aren't working?

Okay, so Steam workshop is the best way to go about it? In this case I can always use WorkshopDL to download the mods manually and use them in GOG until I get Gothic Universe if needed.

Alternatively, you can use WorkshopDL which accomplishes the same thing but makes it slightly easier with the use of a GUI. Note that SteamCMD doesn't work for all games, but according to SteamDB, KF2 should be supported.

The solution here is SteamCMD what lets you download mods from the Workshop as 'annonymous' user. You can either set it up in its barebone form from Steam directly, use a graphical-frontend like https://github.com/VovoloGames/WorkshopDL OR - and that's recommended anyways - use RimPy (https://github.com/rimpy-custom/RimPy) which comes with an integrated UI for SteamCMD that practically lets you 'shop' for Workshop-mods as you would with an actual Steam-version of the game. Since you most likely want to use RimPy as external mod-manager anyways, this goes practically hand-in-hand.

You can actually download mods with this tool. Just tested https://github.com/VovoloGames/WorkshopDL

I own the game on GOG and I use WorkshopDL without any issues. It's slightly more work than owning a Steam copy and you have to update mods manually, but I still prefer this to using Steam.

GOG is the only other one I relay use, no mod support. If it helps google kicks out https://github.com/VovoloGames/WorkshopDL , in the past iv used 3rd party sites to get workshop mods.
