Plus there was an update to TC, though maybe that was to fix the missing voices many of us got, in the Steam TC install.
It doesn't say what it changed but, it was a substantial download, 254Mb's Vs 4 .

The voices are fine in my disc installed version of TC, fine the Steam install of AP, but not working in the Steam version of TC.
Strangely, the intro movie plays in my Steam version of TC (minus voices), when it hasn't played for ages in my disc version of TC, which otherwise plays perfectly .

The last official update for TC on Steam was February this year.

Sometimes Steam will replace damaged files ,according to some threads I have read.

It even re downloads the Sunny Place DLC on my system sometimes !

Why ? I do not know.
Just glad I have free internet atm.

Well I'm outraged!

I run Steam in Offline mode and, as I wasn't playing, the Client wasn't even running and Steam didn't update a thing!

For some insane reason, it appears that through various config options Steam allows me to check for and apply updates only when *I* chose this is unacceptable.

I want updates forced upon me, especially the larger ones which then hold up play...*sigh* I had certain expectations with Egosoft moving to Steam as a distribution platform and NONE of those expecations have been met.

Don't even get me started on Skyrim! I wanted the buggy v1.2 update but NO, just because I asked Steam to stay offline and not update - it did exactly as I asked meaning I remained on my working v1.1 copy! When the generally ok v1.3 patch came out I had to go through the lengthy process (about 12 seconds, that's twelve whole seconds I'll never get back) of manually asking Steam to go into online mode before it updated. Shoddy.

Ah well, luckily the games are worth all this hassle otherwise I'd be seriously reconsidering my plans to purchase Rebirth.

Lol, sorry Thanks for the heads-up TTD, all updated and working just fine

Dangerous... But funny never-the-less.

Yeah, now I'm waiting for the next AP update. Just accepted a taxi missions and then was like "Wait, NOOOOO STOOPPPPPPPPPP" *reload*...

[Gazz]

I'm sure Egosoft is collectively sorry for not properly big brothering your computer.

Be sure to stop by in Würselen and collect your very personal hug.

[omik]

Any word whether the "Fixed several mission problems" section is about the Taxi missions that were slowing down the game considerably?

[Scoob]

Cool, is "Saya" from the AP vid still around perchance?

[EmperorJon]

Careful, she'll blow you up.

I said up.

Couldn't resist...

Thank you very much for the news! I've linked it to the German forum.

Thanks for all your "off-beat" humor.
Made a change from the usual rants.

@ Helmut2

Thanks. Any links of my posts to other forums is always welcome.
Glad I helped a few pilots.

[EmperorJon]

"off beat" = borderline smut, and for that I apologise.

Com'on, it's CRIIIIMBOOO!

[Alan Phipps]

@ omik: The post 2 above yours would indicate not.

[EmperorJon]

But that was me, and I feel I should point out I know nothing.

You can't have "borderline" smut, it's either smut or it ain't. I call smut on this one, but as it's festive smut then it's all good

Sorry TTD if we slightly derailed your valuable information thread!

Sarcasm overload...

Too much sarcastic energy within this post, could possibly overload the clogs required to keep the Universe in balance.

Please try and bear this in mind, try a dash of sarcasm next time instead of a bucket load...

I did not mean that definition.

I enjoyed the comments .

Made me laugh,because I knew it was not serious.

Any derailment is welcome on this thread.
As the Emp said...it's crimbo time

[EmperorJon]

@TDD I think the mods may beg to differ if we derail it too much.

@Scoob I feel like deleting it now...

[gandy|UKCS|]

I dont think the update has changed anything for me but those terrans seem more than missile happy now...

Try not. There is no try. Do or do not!
