1.1.1 beta

Independent beta build in MaksymHernets's fork, based on Gothic 3 VR by PeCOS2k5. Includes the HUD and interaction work developed as versions 1.0.2 through 1.0.9.

• Independent lower-arm HUD: quick slots, native item icons and quantities on the left; health, mana and stamina on the right. Configurable position, rotation and scale, with calibrated defaults and 50% default scale.
• Native HUD visibility controls and corrected radial item selection.
• Optional fast item pickup, preserving native inventory transfer and pickup rules.
• Optional first-person VR viewpoint during character dialogue, chest interactions and lectern reading. Chest handling also suppresses the displayed hero animation and back-mounted weapons, including the closing transition, while native interaction logic remains active.
• Separate Third-person view launcher tab with independent dialogue, chest, lectern and camera-orbit toggles. Fast pickup is on Interaction. Comfort features remain enabled by default and settings apply live.
• Fixed native INI backup collisions during rapid saves by reserving a unique backup folder for each save.
• Game INI category: fog intensity defaults to 100%, with separate high-detail, distant-landscape and vegetation draw-distance controls. Native distance changes use the existing backups and restart workflow. Existing saved preferences are preserved.
• Removed Donate, About / Credits and the creator label from the launcher footer. Launcher and Windows metadata identify this build as 1.1.1 beta.
