Give steam another 4 1/2 hours from the time of this post. That'll be 5PM PST and the end of their workday.

That said.....Steam does seem slightly lax in updateing non-valve games. Can't say I'm surprised here.

About the only thing I want to know is whether it is still a slide show during combat (with Graphics setting to lowest) on my souped-up game rig.

Keeping fingers crossed

Try and report it to the forums. :D
I hope they fixed the production of the Aldrin weapons. Just don'T want to rush through the campaign in order to save the last cannon from disappearing forever.

As far as I have noticed, no mention of the kills of my Fleet counting in Patrol missions. Damn. And that was the main thing I was hoping for. :(
This signature is here because it makes my posts look longer and therefore makes me seem like I know what I am talking about - which I do, honest! :wink: For example, the Ray is the best M2 and a Falcon always beats the other M3s, see!

Hey, now that TC is out the Ray does seem to be one of the best M2's. Maybe I had better change my sig...

So now the devs have turned on the >2GB flag by default. Time to add the /3GB switch to your WinXP boot.ini

I quote evrey single letter of what you wrote!
I bought X3TC on Steam because it is supposed to be more pratical, but now it turns out I have to wait for the Steam guys to go back to work and they give me the possibility to upgrade. Totally unacceptable and unprofessional: this is my last game I buy from Steam as well.

The fix list says that the patrol missions were rebalanced and this is about the only situation I was getting a sideshow. I use a 3yo PC with NV 7800/512Gb/pre-dualcore intel and an XPS laptop with NV 7400, not quite "souped-up game rigs" :) Both work just fine on minimal settings.

I see no mention of a fix for the lack of available boarding pods. Or is that a feature rather than a bug? :P

@bulletstop:
You can't, because the 1.3 patch changed the EXE file.

Sorry. I have Steam too, and will have to wait for that before I can update my Steam. Luckily, I also have the DVD version.

Because I have the Steam version. I don't think it's updated yet.

How interesting.

I gave it a test run, checking out something, and when I quit - my desktop was there! Complete and functional, instead of the slideshow it used to be after quitting TC. Nice one :D

Is this patch compatible with my current saves? I'm at the moment doing the Terran, Final Fury, Goner and the Hub missions and I'm wondering if it will drastically affect it in anyway. I'm not ready to restart the game as yet.

The only note they show is that it is not compatable with the Steam version. Ego normally goes WAY out of their way to be certain that a patch is compatable up the chain... no loss of mega complex time invested ;-)

What I really want to know is if the UT stuff has been fixed so that my UT's stop taking extended union coffee breaks all the time.

Anyone know if they've pushed the Steam patch out yet? I want to know how fast to drive home :D
