Is anyone else having problems saving settings (in particular controls) since the last update in the Mac App Store version?

I can change the settings temporarily, but every time I quit they revert back. I also tried creating a new profile, but that causes the keyboard to stop responding until I quit and relaunch.

Had no problems changing and saving controls until the most recent version.

Ohh, yes for Reunion currently that will be the case...
I'll be fixing this, unfortunately the only workaround would be to edit the profiles by hand, which isn't easy to do since it's just a bunch of "magic number pairs".
Alternatively if you still have them, you could copy the files from your vpltd folder, which I'm guessing is ~/Library/Application Support/X3 Reunion/Egosoft/X3/DataChanges/profiles, in general search for a "profiles" folder. Grab the files and put them in /Applications/X3 - Reunion ML/Contents/Resources/profiles.

@timon37

Many thanks! It's good to know that's being fixed, particularly when it's such an old game.

I'm not sure copying the old profile will be much help, as I'm mostly trying to set up a new joystick (Thrustmaster Warthog) which never was used with the older version.

I can put up with re-configuring the controls for a while, as long as a fix is in the pipeline. Thanks again!

Yes, sorry I still haven't updated the thread for the app-store version.

The app-store version has sand-boxing so a few things are a bit more difficult.

The per-user data is in <user-home>/Library/Containers/com.vpltd.X3ReunionEN/Data/
The config file is <user-home>/Library/Containers/com.vpltd.X3ReunionEN/Data/.config.yaml
note that the file itself is hidden.
Savegames are in <user-home>/Library/Containers/com.vpltd.X3ReunionEN/Data/save

I'm having issues completing the early plot mission on my macbook involving the spacesuit - where you have to get to the ship before your suit fails. I get the cutscene right before and then I get Julian talking, but the screen is black and nothing happens. Pressing escape brings up the menu, but it just stays on the screen and moving the mouse leaves a trail of arrows. Eventually the end message comes up and it quits to the main menu. I've tried running in full screen as well as windowed and tried different graphics settings and resolutions... any ideas?

Hi. Purchased the game on the Apple Store. After the introductory video, select the game mode and start it takes 2-3 minutes and the game crashes. No message is issued.

Hi, Try to avoid posting as i'm sure this has been asked before but is there anywhere I can get updated 64 bit files to replace the old 32 files as X3R crashes immediately on startup. The software was bought from VP Ltd therefore they no longer seem to exist but I really want to get it working again but don't want to be forced to shell out a 3rd time for the same game! (and X3R is IMO still the best version I have played Home of light and onwards where just a bit to overbearing)

Regards.

So never got a reply on the other thread so spaced another few quid up the wall and bought the app store version as it said it is totally re-written by yours truly......

Guess what, this doesn't work either as it is also 32 bit!

ARRGH!!! This is frustrating! Time to demand my money back as the game is less useful than a chocolate tea spoon.
