Gothic 2: New Balance - Test World for Summer Update (Water Warrior)

Recently, extensive work was done to fix minor bugs in various locations.Special thanks to player Scout92, who reported a huge number of issues.

Fixed issues include: trees without collision, floating grass, poorly unwrapped textures, and similar problems.

There were over 300 fixes, so thorough testing of the locations is highly recommended — they will be part of the summer update along with a new class: Water Warrior.There is almost no new content in the locations (Khorinis has a few minor additions, but nothing major). It makes sense to test the locations during a new playthrough — areas already visited by the hero will not change (you need to start a new game).

Installation:

• Install the latest scripts (dated March 6)

• Download the archive with the updated locations

• Extract the archive anywhere — inside you’ll find the file TESTWORLDS.vdf

• Move the TESTWORLDS.vdf file into the Data folder of your Gothic 2 NB installation

Uninstallation:

• Delete the TESTWORLDS.vdf file from the Data folder

Bug reports should be submitted in a dedicated section as usual: Topic

Updates:

• 11.03.25 – Fixed: City of the Dead

• 21.03.25 – Many locations fixed

• 06.04.25 – Many locations fixed

• 13.04.25 – Fixed issues in the Mining Valley, Khorinis, and Jarkendar

For the purpose of this testing, I’ve created a TESTING folder on the New Balance Google Drive where you can download the files.https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1onSWrKizPuGAu8TGWnuSa4gM0JEemGe5
