How To Install Gothic 3 Community Patch

Gothic 3 community patch 1.72

Apply the unofficial Gothic 3 Community Patch v1.5. Extract the File Archive to the game directory - Overwriting existing files. Execute the GOTHIC3.EXE file to play the Game!

I installed the older game Gothic 3 last night and it will not open when I click the start icon on my desktop. It shows that it is loading but nothing happens. I clicked the trouble shoot and all possibilities didnt work. I run a:
asus
i7 3.4ghz core hyper thread
gforce 650 2gb
16gb ddr5 ram
5tb hd
All drivers are updated, and current.
The game was not designed to run on windows 8 64bit. But it should still be able to work. I have searched google, and have found no fixes to my problem. Please can anyone help me?

After installing the latest version of the Gothic 3 community patch (V1.74), will I be able to continue using savegames that have been made using earlier versions of the game (in my case v1.6) and just miss some of the improvements made by v1.74, or will I have to start a new game from the beginning?.

You have to start a new game. Developer notes:

Community

Three years, 7 month and 18 days after the release of Gothic 3, the Community Patch Team released the definitly last version of the Community Patch for the game. Again this patch contains several improvements, which can be looked up in the change log.

Savegames made with patch version 1.7x are compatible with the CP 1.74. Older savegames (1.60 or earlier) are not compatible. Please take a look at the download description for more information.
