Renderer

GMPC can use its own renderer or Gothic's original rendering path.

Which Renderer Should I Use?

  • D3D9 is the default and recommended renderer for normal play.
  • D3D7 uses Gothic's original renderer. Use it for compatibility, troubleshooting, or external renderer mods.
  • D3D11 is not finished and should only be used for testing.

External Renderers

External renderers such as GD3D11 and LegacyAltRenderer expect Gothic's original rendering method. Select D3D7 when using them. Do not combine them with GMPC's D3D9 or D3D11 renderer.

Troubleshooting

  • For a black screen or startup crash, try D3D7.
  • If an external renderer does not load, select D3D7.
  • For screen tearing, toggle VSync and restart the client.
  • For visual glitches, compare the result with D3D7 before reporting the problem.
