Thanks Egosoft, I am installing the game now, I can't wait!

Also credit to Amazon, my copy arrived somewhere between 12:30pm and 2:50 pm, which is quite impressive considering I didn't ask for first class delivery.

I shall now ruin the big surprise for all you who are waiting...it's the biggest secret X3 TC has to offer, I'm shaking as I type this:

YOU GET A FREE POSTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Incredible eh?

Ahhh, I've been away for a while, XTM filled the gap, but it's good to be back. I bloody love this game. I love it so much that I'm almost sad to have some really cool social things planned for this weekend.

Oh well, I hope you are all satisfied soon, and once again congrats to Ego, all the XTM boys, and all of you lovely forum mods for dealing so patiently with what is effectively many thousands of over-excited children given tonnes of sugar and then made to wait for their presents.

Hip-Hip, HOORAY!

Since today is the day of the official release of X3: Terran Conflict I thought it would be nice to give more than just one eye-candy on one day, so I uploaded three screenshots into the gallery of the SotD. Special thanks also to Alex Vanderbilt and enenra who sent me screen two and three. I hope you'll like it :)

Me neither, but them I'm not going to be able to play it until after Christmas.

It was really weird, up until it was released, I was *really* eager to just pre-order it even though I couldn't play it. But now it's been released, I can easily wait until after Christmas (in fact, if I ask for it as a present, I won't even have to pay for it - someone else will).

Yeah I'm curious to see what the game is like, if Steam decides to go faster than 100 KBps... I started the download this morning and it's still going on... :roll:

Well i can't speak for everyone of course, but i'm a play.com buyer and my copy has NOT turned up.

Might still show up tomorrow of course but i'm expecting next week now.

I have to say play.coms delivery service may be free these days, but it was much, much more reliable when you had to pay for it.

No delivery today for me :( . But maybe Saturday or Monday with any luck.

Welcome back to the forum, looks like it got a little hot from all the people online a few hours ago. Probably crash again tomorrow. :D

Two of todays screenshots are only 120 * 80 pixels. Neither useful or mouthwatering. :cry:

Oh, that should be the khaak M6. If it's like the XTM version, its wings rotate around the body. Kinda weird, and if you try to manually dock to most things in it, you'll crash, but it's really worth a lot of credits if you can capture it (at least in XTM).

I know this is probably too late to be of any use for most people, but I just noticed that Steam have hosted it on the Terran Conflict product page, and have probably been doing so for some time, so for the poor few that are still waiting, here's a link:

Thanks for this, greatly appreciated. :thumb_up:

I have nothing else to do this weekend until the game arrives. And when it does arrive i dont want to be forced to read the manual during working hours :P :thumb_up:

Hi,

Just wanted to say I am an avid fan of the X Series. I own at least one copy of the whole series ( 2 copies of X2 & X3 Reunion). And I am looking forward to playing Terran Conflict. It's safe to say that since I discovered X: Beyond the Frontier, (and you can quote me on this) "There is the X Universe and beyond that, No other video games exist!".

I am kinda surprised that I can only get the game through Steam since I live in the USA. This scares me, as I only have a dial-up connection I will not be able to get the game. All this reading about, waiting for, and wishing for something that I may never be able to get. This leaves me feeling like I have started to read a really good book, get half way through it, and then someone steals the last chapter.

Will the DVD version ever be released in the USA?

Please tell me your working on this.

Thanks,

Been with the X-series from the beginning. If it happens in the X_Universe I've been there done that several times over.

There's currently no information about a US publisher. You can order the DVD version online - some people have made suggestions of where (for around $40 US I believe.)

The games been fun but as with all things u play for hundreds of hours at a time =), the small things tick you off.

It's the sound of the flak, e.g. explosion that seems to be 5x louder than anything else. It literally "hurts" my ears when the flak, or some new weapon that I haven't looked into blows up near my ship. I remember I had a problem with this in X3 Reunion and after searching the forums I met others with the same issue and luckily for me someone had created a less painful sound for the explosion. I believe XTM had a whole new sound library too because I can't remember the last time it bothered me until TC brought it back.

There has to be a script/fake patch in the works and if none of you other guys notice it either you're deaf already =), or my sound card is screwed up.

Remember Kids! Volume Effects on 100% does not make you cool. =P
