Where can I get a working manual for TC?

[knightdriver353]

I have purchased through steam and I have tried to get the manual through the Steam web site but the manual either doesn't work or doesn't exsist.

To be specific when I try to view the manual through the steam site I get the error 'There was a problem reading this document (14)'. I have had a quick look on the adobe site and it tends to say that the file in question was not compiled correctly etc.
The link I'm using is...
http://cdn.steampowered.com/Manuals/282 ... 1224266246

Can someone please try this and let me know if it works for them. I'm still somewhat disappointed that the manual didn't come with the game to begin with.

Your link works fine for me, and the manual is downloaded with the game; it's in the Documentation folder. Try using the Verify files option in Steam to make sure your local files are up to date.

Works for me (Acrobat Reader 8.1.2).

The manual did come with the Steam release, but it may have been corrupted at some point.

Thanks, took a bit of searching but I finally found it!
C:\Program Files (x86)\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\common\x3 terran conflict\Documents

TC did not make an entry into the programs list so I wasn't sure where to start looking (no shortcuts). This is probably one of the only games I can think of where the manual is really important.

When I try select 'view player manual' through steam it takes me to the steam X3 website and not the manual. I still cannot view the manual through the web site, this may be due to corrupted local cached files or my installation of Adobe. I will look at that later. For now, I think I can start playing finally.

Thanks for the support!

Once again, if you use the Verify files option for the game in Steam, it will update for you and you should get the correct and most recent files.
