Gothic 3: Union Modpack – Changes in New Versions and Information

Some info about changelogs (last version) and info for Czech players.

Hello, some people have been asking about new versions of the Union Modpack. The Czech translation currently runs on the old version and will continue to do so until a new translation is created — work on that will begin in the coming days. Once the new, higher-quality Czech version is ready, the modpack will be updated to the latest version as well.

If you absolutely want to play the newest versions of the modpack, you’ll need to use the manual English version by our member Romanez. However, not that much new content has been added yet.

The current Czech translation was made using an older ChatGPT model and older methods, which is why it contains so many errors. The new Czech translation will be done manually, possibly with assistance from the new ChatGPT model and manual corrections.

The Czech version currently runs on Union+ 1.4.6.

I (Fortuno) won’t be fully handling the new translation since I’m working on other projects, but I’ll help with occasional parts here and there.
