Gothic 3: Union+ Modpack Update 1.3.0 and 1.3.1 + English by Romanez78

Translated by ChatGPT

New installer:

The modpack now features its own user-friendly installer developed by X-Proxy. The new installer's functions include almost all options that were available in the old Mod-Starter. Additionally, numerous issues have been resolved:
Unicode issue resolved. Game strings will no longer be replaced by "???" characters.
Character limit issue in a single line resolved. Translation mods for Polish and Russian languages are no longer needed; mods can now be translated into any number of languages.
Mod limit issue resolved - the assembly now includes over 100 mods and can install them without errors.

Some new options:

Added the ability to create complex modifications that affect game resources and game code simultaneously
Added the ability to determine mod dependency and compatibility. When a user selects a mod from the list, all desired mods will be selected automatically and all incompatible mods will become unavailable
Added a developer mode that allows to perform unpacking/unpacking operations of mods in accelerated mode
It is possible to set some parameters of the ini file directly from the installer
Mods can now have multiple screenshots that can be browsed in the menu
