Gothic II Gold IronKeep Community Patch v1.0

The folks over at IronKeep Studios have released a v1.0 community patch for Gothic II Gold, which fixes several long-standing bugs in the popular bundle pack. As you may or may not know, this is the same team behind the Heights of Power and Curse of the Southern Isles unofficial Gothic II add-ons. From the World of Gothic forums:

Gothic II: Night of the Raven is an excellent game, after all these years. However, it is still somewhat beset by bugs, even with the latest release. We have created a patch that aims to fix as many of these bugs as possible, and enhance the experience of those playing Gothic II Gold. As we fix more bugs, patches will be released. If there is a bug you would like addressed, please let us know. What we have done has been included in the changelog below. Enjoy .

This product is meant to deliver a better NotR experience with next to no “on-the-house” additions. This patch (and all the subsequent versions) will be an incremental part of HoP builds, so if you have HoP installed (or in future CSI), you wouldn’t need the “products below”.

However, at this point – this patch has some changes that ARE NOT present in HoP v1.1. This will be made otherwise starting with HoP v1.2.

The patch can be downloaded at www.ikgstudios.com -> Downloads section.

Regards,

The IronKeep Studios Team
