BUG? UT/LT/ST traders not jumping in AP

[ReadyMan]

Thommohawk--

Go to steam, click on games, view active games library, choose x3: Terran Conflict and right click on it, go to properties, then click on local files, and finally choose verify integrity of game cache.

Do this for both TC and AP.

I dont know about posting this in another forum. Would you mind doing this?
This has gotten me frustrated to the point that I dont want to play much anymore....

Hi ReadyMan: I have now posted this issue on on the Technical Support forum with a link to this thread. Hopefully a kind and dilligent moderator will guide this to the correct location as required .

<No I will leave it here. If it is all moved to the Tech Sp thread then relatively few players will see it there and you are less likely to get a gameplay solution or discovery about it. In the Tech Sp thread I have suggested that players with and without these issues post links to vanilla X3AP 2.0 gamesaves and test each others' games to look for changes in behaviour. Alan Phipps>

Hi Kapakio: I could not find the referred Dev Net report you mentioned... perhaps you could provide a link?

The steam cache on my AP is verified as good, I did not think of doing it for TC as well so that will be next. Edit: have also verified TC now, was Ok.

Well, thats it for me for now. AP is going 'BACK ON THE SHELF' untill this is sorted and fixed somehow. I have just realised that the AP economy has also crashed due to a full scale Xenon Invasion that dwarfs the puny little war going on with the terrans. There ar Ks, Qs Px's by the dozen in some major trade zones mass killing off all NPC trading ships. This, I think is becuase the the RRF is broken too, as I have not seen any ships coming to sort out the Xenons. Ahh well, too bad...

^ As per above suggestion i want to upload a savegame here where an attack occurs within a couple of minutes in Menelauses Paradise just im not sure where to do it anymore - last time was ages ago and it was with fileshack us iirc, and am a bit intimidated by what i get in google... anyone recommend a safe/decent file share site where we can upload savegames for downloading from here?

EDIT: if you wish to upload a savefile then just follow this link to see how (I used the Deposit Files site, a bit slow but extremely simple to use): http://www.egosoft.com/support/faq/faq_answer_en.php?answer=1387&version=9&sid=a922dda2c997a8e12dcefc0c357b7c82

I just saw one of my UTs attack a Xenon L (it showed it attacking in the info screen), then once the L was dead he jumped out and went to a station like he was trying to get away. Drakes are pretty bad ass though, he slaughtered that L, but did take some hull damage.

My Savegame file provided at the link below

http://depositfiles.com/files/ojyo3un6f

please note that it is the free download mode you need to click on, and that it delays a few seconds before starting... you also need to key in two random words which appear in the download area. Edit: Also, do not enable popups as it is totally unneccesary for the download to work (and they are rubbish popups).

for anyone interested in trying downloading it should find that:

there is an attack on one of my UT's due in a couple of minutes.
there will be no warning alarm (the 'ringringring' type).
there will be a verbose "Attention one of your ships are under attack' notice.
The attack takes place in Menelauses Paradise, by a Xenon Q.
under the UT info panel, there wil be the followning (or similar) details:
Cmd: selling wares ... microchips
Action: following Xenon Q / or: killing Xenon Q.
The UT will release the Fighting Drones
The UT will not jump
The UT will be destroyed

I usually wait untill I get the verbose message before checking oos as it seems to get there qicker, but it will occur even if you view prior.


There is a fully loaded M8 in Family Njy (solar power station iirc) that can be jumped in there oos or, in case you want to try making an in-sector appearance at Menalauses P yourself... in-sector if you allow the Q to attack the UT, it will still behave in the same way; no jump attempt.

Edit: savegame is steam AP v.2 vanilla, with all bonuspack(AP) installed.

Im also having this problem. lvl 25 MK3 in a Drake, fully equipped, lots of e-cells, no fighter escort of any type.... in AP 2.0 ofc... WILL NOT E JUMP, EVER!!!

As a matter of fact none of my ships are Jumping out at the moment. Its what brought me to the forums today... m6, m7, m1, m2 all set to 80% threshold; everyone fights to the death. Driving me insane

Besides that though, Mk3 traders also not jumping for me

:rage:

[ThommoHawk]

To anyone else interested in fixing this please read post by Alan Phipps (Moderator) a few entries up ^ and also some of my info on how to upload your savegame if not sure how to.

@ Alan phips now I have re-read your entries/suggestion here, i am not clear on if the savegame should be located at tech support or in this thread (i have posted mine here 'more people see this than in tech support'...

[Alan Phipps]

Here is fine. The two threads are cross-linked and have been notified to the bug-tracker.

PS: Your download site seems to be 'under maintenance' and cannot DL your save atm - although it manages to DL a whole load of chat-line adware - how quaint!

[Kapakio]

There you have my savegame with a UT being attacked under one minute by a Xenon Q. AP version 2.0 vanilla with bonus pack.

UT is not jumping but continuing flying to a station

[Alan Phipps]

Now we need a time-of-attack vanilla X3AP save from someone whose UTs are jumping away from attacks and with messages etc.

Here is another example of failed UT jump/alert behaivour for download:

Quoting from a previous post I made here:
please note that it is the free download mode you need to click on, and that it delays a few seconds before starting... you also need to key in two random words which appear in the download area. Edit: Also, do not enable popups as it is totally unneccesary for the download to work (and they are rubbish popups). End quote.

the UT attack starts in about one minute or so.

Oddly, this time the attack only occurs when oos (again, no warning alarm is sounded, only the verbose notification happens) - and then when you view the sector, the UT is following and killing pirates. I say 'oddly' becuase if the sector (spaceweed drift) is viewed just prior to the attack then the UT flies on past the pirates, and the pirates are blue ('friend').
