GD3D11 (legacy)

Description
This mod for the games Gothic and Gothic II brings the engine of those games into a more modern state. Through a custom implementation of the DirectDraw-API and using hooking and assembler-code-modifications of Gothic's internal engine calls, this mod completely replaces Gothic's old rendering architecture.

This mod is based on SaiyansKing's GD3D11 version 17.8-dev17 and allows older hardware and Linux distributions to run GD3D11 successfully. There will be no updates/fixes provided to this mod.

**NOTE**
If the latest version of GD3D11 does not work, before trying this version, make sure that:
- you have the latest visual c++ redistributable package installed (for Linux install vcrun2022 via protontricks)
- For Linux: you have the launch options set for overriding dinput and ddraw as native, built-in (eg. WINEDLLOVERRIDES="ddraw,dinput=n,b" %command%)

@kapsellola: The recent updates for GD3D11 create incompatibility for older hardware and Linux distributions. This legacy version is the last known working version for allowing the affected players to play with GD3D11.

What is the difference this and between the latest version of D3D11? Do the graphics look worse in this version?

@LuckyN13: I did not test it with steam deck, but it works correctly on other Linux distributions, so there should not be any issue with steam deck if it worked prior to March update.

wait does this let me use it on the deck finally?

Thanks a lot for this legacy version. Gothic I and II didn't start anymore on the SteamDeck with the newser version of G3D11.

I did many changes but the file is not there. Strange

@Inquisitor [Bot]™: This is the version 17.8-dev17 released back in September 2024. This version is known to be compatible with Linux distributions and can be used by anyone who can't run the latest version of GD3D11. There is no change brought to the original release.

@neobolszewia extreme: While in game, press F11, perform a change, save and the file will be generated under /system/gd3d11/UserSettings.ini.
