No, just abandoned

:( So just to be clear, there is no current known way of getting Gothic 1 to work on modern machines? or is it like, there is, just don't use this patch anymore? Is anyone aware of the latest developments? It seems all available things are faulty, and steam itself had a patch that was supposed to be working, but it does not, and now applying this stuff over their stuff is probably broken too. I understand the repo is abandoned, which is fine, I abandoned some repos myself :D time goes, this happens, but if anyone knows where to go to get one of best childhood games running again, please tell me :))))

UPD: https://www.reddit.com/r/worldofgothic/comments/lhrdxo/how_to_run_gothic_i_and_ii_on_modern_systems/ this thread seems to got latest stuff covered, D36 patch seems to work. ^_^

I've created a replacement for vdfs32g.dll and integrated a lot of fixes, it is available here. Runtime patches for gothic executables to fix other problems were created by killer-m, they are applied by vdfs32g - taken from vdf file in Data folder, they are currently available as part of installers here https://github.com/GothicFixTeam/GothicFix/releases. The source code of these installers was created by MaGoth and is lost long ago. This installers requires some pre patches to be installed.

D36 patch uses my vdfs32g but also has a lot of other changes.

For Gothic 1 this patch must be installed before SystemPack http://www.bendlins.de/nico/gothic/gothic1_playerkit-1.08k.exe
