X3: Farnham's Legacy now available

Post by Gregory » Tue, 4. May 21, 19:05

Today is an exceptional day. It brings an event that many surely didn't think possible – the release of X3: Farnham's Legacy, a new game in the popular X3 series. Furthermore, it is FREE to all owners of X3: Albion Prelude! A dedicated group of players from our DevNet community have been working on this project since 2016, and they are hugely excited to unveil the results of their efforts.

You can simply download X3: Farnham's Legacy for free on Steam, if you already own X3: Albion Prelude, and on GOG the game will automatically show up in your game collection if you own the Terran War Pack there.

If you enjoy X3: Farnham's Legacy and want to thank the project team, by doing a good deed, you can buy the X3: Farnham's Legacy - Donation Pack (GOG / Steam). 100% of Egosoft's proceeds of this Donation Pack will be forwarded to Médecins Sans Frontières / Doctors Without Borders. If you prefer to make a donation through another channel, please visit the website of Médecins Sans Frontières / Doctors Without Borders.

I just found out about FL the last weekend.
Checking the egosoft Forums from time to time.
Still playing XRM with resurection mod and enjoying it a lot.
Tried rebirth, foundations, star citizen and Elite...
Still coming back to X3 in the end.
The game where I spend the most hours playing by far.

X3 with a new engine is still on my hopes.

Will certainly try FL.
Have not tried X3 AP so far. Will get both and also play trough AP.

Really appreciate the work of the dev Team!
Thanks a lot!

X3 is not dead yet

I've just started playing x4 even though it was in my library for a long time ( waited for game improvements) when this bomb fell into my lap.......do you guys know a method in which I could play both games at the same time? And avoid work for a couple of weeks at that? :mrgreen:


Some thanks are in order tho, especially for the team which, i presume, put many hours into this project and ofc. to Egosoft team for even considering giving 10 year old game a full blown update and giving it for free even.

Thank you very much :D

I see some familiar names in the credits for this unexpected, but still stellar expansion. Brings back some fragmented memories from the days of Shady Business. Amazing work everyone.

For those of us who spent hundreds of hours playing and modifying X3 over the years this is such a beautiful surprise!!

Thanks so much guys for putting in the effort to keep this beautiful game alive. I'm sure this will lead to another surge in modding as well!! And thank you Egosoft for encouraging and promoting the community effort!!!!!

Looking forward to this but had problem with audio, music comes through as static hiss both from options screen and in game (voice and effects not affected - TC and AP all ok). Originally tried with Steam but then purchased War Pack from GOG with same result. Can only play with music volume off :cry: - anybody else have similar problem?. PS Looking good so far :wink:

Fixed - KLite Codec pack needed tweeking! (Now to enjoy properly)

It apparently has to do with codecs being installed. So if you have any, get rid of them and the problem should disappear.

Yes this is a good place to start for audio issues.

I have countless hours in all of the existing X games so far (of course not counting Rebirth, we don't talk about that!). This Farnham's Legacy is all I wanted since Albion Prelude. All that R...h and X4 hoorah wasn't for me, really.
I wish I could show my appreciation through more than that little Donation Pack on Steam. I would have bought the game without hesitation.

Great work - all of you Egosoft people and modders alike! You are outstanding!

Please see this thread on why there is no Linux version, yet.
In the meantime, Unbekanntes Feindschiff described here how to get the game to run under Proton.

Wow, I missed this! I just cannot get into either Rebirth or X4, so maybe time to go back to X3 with this extra version. Thank you. :)

Amazing charity too and a dead cert to donate! :)
