How to Fix Floating Grass on Gothic 4 for PCs

"Gothic 4" is a role-playing game for the PC that requires players to traverse multiple scenic locations as they complete the game's lengthy single-player campaign. Many of the areas are heavily forested and pastured, which can make the floating grass glitch extremely bothersome to a player's progress. In the glitch, the grass texture appears to be floating near eye-level with the player, as opposed to being displayed on the ground.
