Been away for too long, questions now.

Is the Online Venture mode still broken? I went to the terminal and got the same message from probably two years ago that said online ventures are unavailable. Perhaps there's something I need to do to make them work again and if so, what?

The X games have always been so feature-rich its almost scary trying to get back in and figure everything out. I've also bought all of the DLC. Are there short videos somewhere that go through the features added with each update and DLC? Please tell me where to find them.

You guys are great! Thanks for the answers.

It's not "broken"; we switched it off while we work on "version 2" of the venture system. As it says in the latest news sticky thread at the top of the forum, we hope to have more news about that next year.

Venture mode isn't so much broken as it's disabled currently while the devs are working on it for a future iteration.

As for guides on the DLC's, Captain Collins is a very good X4 resource, though if you want "short" descriptive videos I'd personally go with Werit's channel for a more simplified breakdown of the actual DLC features.

Thank you, CBJ. You've been answering my dumb questions since X2 so I really do appreciate you.

Thanks. Venture mode has been down for quite a while, then. Unless it came up then went back down. I thought it was pretty cool as it was so whatever they do to it must be fixin' to be awesome!

Thanks for the links. I'm catching up now. I don't think I've played since 1.5. When I do it takes a lot of my time, and getting back into it has such a high entry barrier (because of the complexity). But, it's cold outside and we won't be doing much until late March.

" it's cold outside and we won't be doing much until late March."

I had never considered X4 gameplay as a suitable alternative to hibernation before.
