Frequently Asked Questions
» What exactly is Gothic Reloaded Mod?The Gothic Reloaded Mod is not a typical mod. In contrast to other mods, which try to create or add an additional storyline, characters, items or quests, we will enhance the graphics of the original game "Gothic" by Piranha Bytes, published in 2001.
» What will be modified?
The mod will include new level- and object textures, a revised level mesh, improved VOBs/MOBs (objects) as well as a new interface (menu, chapter-, loading- und saving screens). At present we work on all these things simultaneously to ensure a better and consistent result, though this way will take some more time.
» Is Gothic still running stable?
Gothic runs stable on the computers of our team members with and without Gothic Reloaded Mod. But that doesn't mean that there won't be any problems and changes in the future. Nevertheless we are confident, that the ZenGin will be able to handle it, if we keep within the given limits.
» What about the new hardware requirements?
At a rough estimate, your machine should have 2 GB RAM, a NVIDIA 8800 GT or ATI HD 3870 and a CPU with 2 to 3 GHz per core, to run Gothic Reloaded Mod at high graphic settings with smooth framerates.
» Will Gothic Reloaded Mod be compatible to other modifications?
Yes and no, because Gothic Reloaded Mod will be released as a modification and Gothic can't launch two modifications concurrent. But Gothic Reloaded Mod will also be installable as a patch, so other projects may base upon this.
» When do you expect the mod being finished?
I can't give an obligatory statement, because the amount of work isn't easy to evaluate and the activity of the members varies. I hope we will be done until summer 2015.
