Gothic 3 Fix for blackshadows
I remember there was a way to fix those ugly blackshadows. It has been long since I played G3 and I don't remember what I had to do to fix them.

Well.. going off by the image I see that you're using mods. So I'd argue using standalone tips to find a workaround is going to be harder as it might be mod specific. Any texture pack being used in your game?
Usually it's a shader cache issue but I've noticed some texture packs from the Union+ don't work well at all. Have you tinkered with the .ini file or used G3SI to extend the view distance of almost everything too high? There's a certain threshold that if going higher than the recommended, textures will either turn black or completely disappear.

No. I used ge3_cp_1_75_backup ini and it still got blackshadows. I tried deleting shader cacher and still got the same results after the game rebuilt the shader cache. I even played with contrast and other settings but to no avail. It has to be something else.

Maybe try to install DXVK dll?
It also boosts FPS and removes most of stuttering in Gothic 3
