On bridge of terran supply xl (honshyu?) if i access any of the three front consoles, navigation,fleet etc the hud dissapears and i have no way of disingaging the console, the game does not freeze but i cannot exit them or walk away etc. hard shutdown to windows and reload is only option. perhaps this might be true for all terran xl bridges.
Control D would have gotten you up without needing to do a hard shutdown

Found this out later!
I used to list PC parts here, but "the best" will suffice!

Did a patch go out for the regular version?
I'm noticing map icons I haven't noticed before.

Hello! Tnx for work! :thumb_up:
Please remove annoying sounds in "My office" HQ. Or give opportunity turn-off/on.
Putting a jukebox there would be the perfect solution :)

Where do we report bugs?

I decided to fire up X4 again after a long break and jumped straight into the 5.00 public beta.

I'm at the Argon EQ Dock in HCIII in my starter ship Elite Vanguard

I have 576,119 CR.

I want to trade in my starter engine ( ARG All-around MK1 ) for a credit of 5246
In it's place I'm trying to purchase a ARG Combat MK3 for 176066
The net cost to me should be 170820 according to the upper-right corner.

I click add to shopping list and in the lower right corner it says my final balance will be 405299.

When I click confirm order, my balance is 234,479.

Those cheats charged me an extra 170820.

I have 2 mods installed, neither of which seem like they would be related to this issue:

Data Leak Scan Range Increase (ws_2453291481) version 0.01
Sector Explorer (ws_2074838459) version 1.29

If I cue up enough items that I *should* have about 100K left ( thrusters, shields, some software ), then even worse they take my money and install none of the things I purchased.

I will try disabling the mods next to see if that makes a difference. *EDIT* unloading the mods did not fix the problem.

Just wanted to give a quick but massive WELL DONE! with the Paranid ship redesigns!
I just looked them up ingame and they all (XL and L ships) look absolutely amazing and much more detailed than the old versions.
I hope the same with the Argon capital ships, Argon Cerberus and one other model (forget the name of the model).

@egosoft, can you give us some spoilers about redesigns of other species?

No plans to rework Teladi or Argon in near future only Paranid for now - that's official information.

Thank you, Egosoft.

X4: Foundations 5.00 Beta 2 now available

As mentioned last week in our news about the start of the 5.00 beta, you can expect regular updates as we approach the release of 5.00 and X4: Tides of Avarice, the forthcoming expansion for X4: Foundations. True to our word, 5.00 Beta 2 is now available to download, bringing further additions and fixes to the game. The complete changelog for 5.00 Beta 2 can be found here.

A special note about the new alarm sounds that you will hear when an enemy is approaching and attacking: the sounds currently being used for this are placeholders; the final sounds will be added in an upcoming version of the 5.00 beta.

How do I take part in the Public Beta?
Every player who owns X4: Foundations has the opportunity to download the new 5.00 beta version. In order to ensure that beta participants are aware of the risks and rules involved, we ask all interested players to visit our forum, where they will find the rules and disclaimers, as well as practical instructions for participating in the beta. Follow this link to our forum (no registration required) to find the relevant information.

Thank you for your participation in the beta!

If it's not in the dropdown, then that means that you didn't enter the password.

Question to Egosoft:
[Beta 2] Added new multi-tiered fight music tracks.

Will the new music tracks be added to soundtrack DLCs?

The new tracks are really refreshing and good, it puts me in a "fight mode" for sure!
It's also nice that the combat track ends right away when the fight is over.

New week, new beta! X4: Foundations 5.00 Beta 3 is now available to download, bringing further additions and fixes to the game. The complete changelog for 5.00 Beta 3 can be found in our forum.

This week, we'd especially like to draw your attention to the new player office, which was introduced in the first 5.00 beta. We've received a lot of feedback on this over the past few weeks and, based on that feedback, we've taken it up a notch by allowing you to use SETA while sitting in your office or standing at a terminal. We look forward to seeing how you like this new opportunity!

Gregory, there is nothing on the 5.0 changelong about improve perf on AMD GPUs.
However tested tonight 5.0 beta 3 with the new AMD 22.2.1 which enables Vulkan 1.3 and got over 30% more FPS on a very heavy GPU benchmark we use here
viewtopic.php?f=146&t=441417

With just MSAA 2x the FPS jumped over 40%, had to use the AMD chill to limit it to 143fps so it won't go over the Freesync range.
Is this perf increase related to improvements of the game or just the Vulkan 1.3 new streamlined processes? :gruebel:
