[MegalomaniacNG]

After we acquired the Nexus franchise our goal was to make the game experience better but unfortunately our hands were tied for a long time. Now we were finally able to do actual work on Nexus and this resulted in a lot that we actually did.

ADDITIONS
• Added option to use the current desktop resolution. It’s the default.
• Enabled using modern monitor resolutions including Full HD.
• Added correct displaying of GUI elements, briefings and subtitles with
modern monitor aspect ratios: 16:9, 16:10, 21:9

• All available text languages are selectable from the launcher.

Awesome!!! How did you do that? Did you get your hands on the source code?

[Avalanche]

Awesome!!!!!!! i am so hoping that they will do their own game, hell, using this same engine or at least an upgraded version.....cause the feel of it is awesome.

Cool. Will be my next purchase from Nordic Games.

Please, add translation to Gothic 3 (and addon) it's not so difficult. Not leave game in current "castrate" (sorry) state.

[Sargoth]

Wooo! This is really great stuff by Nordic! Thanks!

Very cool, when does this patch come to GOG.com?

He answered that question on facebook saying it might take a few weeks for it to get on GOG

Sounds like a great update - thanks!

Unfortunately the game freezes on a loading screen shortly after launching - if I alt-tab out I can see this error message: http://i.imgur.com/VIKY5eY.png

I have tried verifying the game files, no issues found.

EDIT: going to try re-installing, maybe some files from old installation are causing the issue

EDIT2: Clean install fixed it :)

[Sargoth]

Better do a clean install, yeah.

[Avalanche]

I never got that problem, so i feel lucky.

[Dreadmoth]

Clean install fixed it :)
