@WitheredRose. I had the same issue. You can use this instead https://github.com/kirides/GD3D11 https://github.com/kirides/GD3D11/releases/tag/v17.8-dev26

Download GD3D11-v17.8-dev26.zip and extract it into your gothic 2 system folder. Make sure you unsubscribe from this mod first. It should fix the problem.

You can then download dxvk 2.6.2 https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/releases/tag/v2.6.2 ( dxvk-2.6.2.tar.gz ) and extract the dxgi.dll and d3d11.dll (Win32 for both). Note you need 7zip to extract this, you will see another zip after you extract it. So extract that.

Then put those WIn32 files in the gothic system folder. This switches the game to use Vulkan which is much better for GPU VRAM management. I don't have lag using the Kridles fork on AMD GPU when using DXVK.

Is it normal that after loading a save, game is extremely laggy for few seconds? It starts at 4-5 FPS and ramps up to normal ~140 that I have set limit to.
GPU is AMD - RX 5600 XT.

If you have issues with stuttering cap frames on 60. worked for me at least.

I downloaded the latest version from SaiyansKing from github, it doesn't have the crap that the workshop version has and the performance is better, I recommend it.

Fix the quiet sound in rooms, caves, etc. It is impossible to play, several updates have already been released, the bug still remains

Good question, why they don't merge the repositories?
Because... ffs, I hate this.
Gothic 1 DX11 mod? Good
Gothic 2 DX11 mod? Stuttering shit

First I downloaded kirides version. It works but indoor sounds are bugged and cant hear NPCs.
Then downloaded the Saiyans version. Indoor sounds are fixed, but when launch it says I'm using AMD driver and i can experience crashes due to memory issues. It recommends to use DXVK which I have no idea how...

For anyone still having issues with this here's a quote by Kirides https://github.com/kirides/GD3D11/issues/189 "The Renderer requires up to date vc_redist.x86 to be installed. See the readme, or go right here https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x86.exe " If you on Linux you can do protontricks 39510 directmusic dxvk vcrun2022 and have to remove "*dsound"="native" in /compatdata/39510/pfx/user.reg like before and add launch command WINEDLLOVERRIDES="ddraw,dinput=n,b" %command% if you on latest proton-ge you don't have to do these 2 steps. Make sure Steam doesn't reinstall (Microsoft VC Redistributable) with older version when launching because it was happening to me and it broke things.
