In the ... ge3.ini found in the ... C:Program FilesGothic IIIIni ... folder.

Change these lines as this ...

Right=2400

Bottom=600

Resolutions higher than this will struggle even on the best systems.

The game is very buggy ... :(



4:3 default view ...

TripleHead default view ...


4:3 full zoom out view ...

TripleHead full zoom out view ...


4:3 first person view ...

TripleHead first person view ...

Weeeeeeeeeeerw! Thats aaaarsome!

Triple head to go rocks my bum biscuits!

I made a small fix, that positions the GUI Elements in the centre screen.
While the GUI reffers to a 1024x768 resolution and I found no way to change this I simply divide the Left attribute of the elements by 3 and added the ammount of the left monitor.


The Problem on this fix is, that Text stays also stretched, what means that some text will not be displayed.
But I find this a better bug that have all the GUI Elements on 3 different screens and in triple width.

This only affects the Elements that annoys most while playing. Health/Mana/Endurance/Dialogs.
This not change anything to the mainmenu/loadingscreens/videos/map/inventory/loot/etc.
For this elements are also attributes set in the g3.gui.res file, and may changed on the same way, but that's much work, and without fixing the stretched text it would look really worse.



You can DL it here:

You have to extract it into your gothic3 folder.

should look this:
../Gothic 3/Data/gui/resources/g3.gui.res

if you want to uninstall it, delete the g3.gui.res file, or replace it with g3.gui.res.bak

Only tested on german edition v1.12 CP 1.6

Hi Paddy the Wak,

I missed this thread before making my own over at
http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=142377
if you'd point me towards any useful tweaks you might have, I'd be grateful, I'm not even triple screen and the game is unplayable as it is.

Hello ...
I don't have the game any more and as I mentioned in the TripleHead post my system was just about coping at 2400x600.
I gave up with it because of this and because it was so buggy.

I'm sure you have done this but this was the first thing that came up when I googled it ...
It has some tips for the lag and the crashes ... http://news.softpedia.com/news/Gothic-3-Troubleshooting-40075.shtml
More tweaks here ... http://news.softpedia.com/news/Gothic-3-Tweaks-and-Cheats-43719.shtml

Another tip I found was to replace the ... Gothic3.ttf file ... (in the installation folder) with one of your own ...
The guy said this made the game run about 50 times faster (I have not tried this).

I hope some of that helps ... 8)

Well, most of my slow downs seem to be text related, so I'll try the font fix. I know this because whenever exp. or quest text or open an interface it slows down quite a bit. Easy to test by toggling the bottom icon bar.

Thanks paddy.

Thanks, that's really nice work u did for eveyone!


too bad I think the game sucks.. IMHO.
