Revision - patch 1 0 3 - Gothic 1 Remake Wiki

Patch 1.0.3 is a post-launch update for Gothic 1 Remake released on July 2, 2026, the third numbered patch and the first update to add an in-game changelog screen so the notes can be read without leaving the game. It follows Patch 1.0.2 (June 19) and its June 22 hotfix. After it installs, the build version shown in the bottom-right corner of the Settings screen reads CL170287, which confirms the update applied. For the wider launch timeline, see Release History.

How to Confirm the Update

After updating, the correct version for Patch 1.0.3 is CL170287, shown in the bottom-right corner of the Settings screen. The patch notes are also readable in-game through the new changelog screen. As with earlier updates, the studio advised removing any installed modifications before updating, since some mods can be incompatible with the new build, and asked players to report remaining issues through the in-game bug-reporting form. See Engine and Modding for the mod-compatibility note.
