Can Egosoft be more specific on the 1.3 patch.
The reason I'm asking is that for people on dial up, if they d/l a 77.8 meg patch and then d/l another 90 meg 1.3 patch, maybe they should just wait if it's like 4 days away until mid november. Also the X3 Canadian version won't be out until November 15th now anyway and some may not bother downloading 1.2.01 if the 1.3 is a day or two later and specially if they are on dialup.
Is the 1.3 patch still being targetted for mid November wich is on the 16th?
will there be a 1.2.01 to 1.3 patch and a 1.0 to 1.3 patch ?

This new patch makes the game work SO well for me! I've been playing it non-stop since the patch was released. There's still plenty of bugs, of course, but the game is completely playable.
Still kinda in the dark as to why only certain songs don't decode in the game. Some sectors have music that just sounds like garbage.
w00t! Very happy now!

not helping at all... (cont)
after rebooting my pc - because Starf*ck crashed the whole machine again - the game ran more smoothly... still challenged and stuttering a bit but better.
After playing for a few minutes I loaded the same savegame again... and suddenly the menues are hardly reacting - I have to press the arrow keys and enter button several times to get an reaction - the game is a slideshow even when just docking at a station and this docking arm is connecting to the ship and the game is useless again.
I'll now restart the game again and see whether it is true that only the first load works properly...
Given that Starf*ck crashes my pc about once in 5 attempts to start the game I wonder how long it takes until my XP crashes completely.

Even with the new patch my game still crashes at the end..
I am starting to think I am doing something wrong..
It did so before the new patch and also does it after the new patch. Is it because I should start further back then I did, if yes how far back/what mission should i go back to?, if no.. Then what could be wrong??

When the first wave of khaaks has been defeated then the crystal splitter fab is moving. Then I must fly after and I try to pass it by flying over it in the "tunnel". Just about the time I get as far as the crystal splitter fab the game crashes..

Well I am very happy to have the game and be well enough to play...1201 seems to give me ctds at some odd places in plot (restarted after alot of trouble with random black screens and skiping holes in the 2nd mission "i had no idea what was going on untill after I left the planet???? anyway it seems playable if a little choked in argon prime but I gues thats normal "still playing with my settings and windows to max out fps. But even without the plot I get ctds during a fights on ocasion during deaths and most anoying when I load saves...but get this not all the time it might work great for an hour or more and I can probably load the same save this morning and it will work fine? Also I get black screens during jump gate minivid I can hear it cant see it. odd that
Anyway looking forward to 1.3 and any sugestions from the community or mods. I will keep playing with my settings.

The patch appears to have fixed the problems caused by frequent saving, so I can at least continue with my game for now. However, I've already had one CTD (when loading an autosave), and a random lockup, so there's obviously still work to do. Hopefully 1.3 will improve things further.

Well, I'm sorry to have to write this Egosoft.
But I've been forced to reinstall X3 on same day that I've installed your latest patch 1.2.01.
Previously, with 1.2.00 I had no CTDs, I played X3 since its release using low resolution to have better response from the game. Today after patching X3 with your latest patch (1.2.01) I counted 5 freezes... So time to reinstall X3 and leave it with a more estable level 1.2.00
If this latest patch worked for others, well congrats for others... but unfortunatly made my X3 instable almost to a point of giving up.
I'm reinstalling X3 at this right moment.
Please could you leave the link for Patch 1.2.00 in your download page, so that would allow people that like me need to reinstall the game to have it patch. But not with the latest patch release. Thanks

I need a link to the old 1.2 patch as well.
I was running X-3 with patch 1.2 with no problems (aside from a couple of plot line glitches). I installed the new patch 1.2.01 and upon loading my X3 game I get this.
This effect is on the DeepSilver logo on loading, the menu page, new games and older saved games. I uninstalled X3, and reinstalled. This time I updated with the upgrade patch from v1.0 to 1.2.01 but experienced the same problems.
Can I get, if not a solution, a link to the 1.2 patch?

visit the tech support forum, you'll find more help there.Epyon0071 wrote:Well i just now realize that its not cause of the patches after installing the game 5 times, tho for some reason it just did it when i installed them. I still dont know how to fix it, nor know whats makin it do it. please someone help.
don't forget to post as much details as possible about your problems.
Amen!
If X3 is running well for you with 1.2 DONT UPGRADE TO 1.2.1!!!! I did and I was sorry. More crashes, more glitches. I had almost none of these with 1.2
If I re-install and save my save games will they run under 1.2 if they were saved under 1.2.1?
