blargh. :cry:

well, it might not help much, but here's a trick if you have a laptop... download it to your steam account from another connection (say, an internet cafe or a friend/relatives house or a university). then go to your PC and start downloading the game. as soon as it finishes initializing and actually starts downloading, pause it, then copy the game folder over to the appropriate steam directory (for third party games, usually steam/steamapps/common/). Then use "Verify integrity of game cache" under the game options. It should fart around for a bit and then give you a thumbsup.

I used that a couple times when I had a dirt slow connection on my main PC. :)

the obvious barrier is staying at some other internet connection long enough to D/L 9 gb...heh.

of course the whole procedure kind of destroys the convenience advantage of steam :)

according to the Recommended Configuration

and is this video card with Pixel Shader 3.0 support?
Since none of us have X3:TC yet, except for those who are under an NDA, we can only base our expectations on X3:R. That said, I can tell my 8600 GTS is not enough to run X3:R smoothly at 1080P and high quality. Check out www.gpureview.com for specs, prices, and comparisons on video cards - specifically the nVidia geForce 9600GT (8800GT) or ATI Radeon HD 4850 as the bare minimum.

hd4850 bare minimum? ......poppycock, there has not been any significant change in grapic quality shown in any of the video's or screenshots thus it more than likely will run just as good as X3:R did on whatever system you currently had.

I´m no Dev techie, but if TC improves graphics and looks, it won´t hurt to upgrade your video card, generally speaking....

or xtm on a disc.

Sblade-

Iam really hoping they improve the texturing on the ships and sort out some of the glitches that have been in x3 since the start. The textures on the hyperion for instance are just embarrassing.

There will lots of new textures. Thats also the reason why the game got so big. :)

Don´t know you guys. My X3:R folder with XTM is 5,38GB.

TC doubles the size! Is there still anyone who thinks this is a mere expansion? :D

Or that it is x3+XTM.

But considering what xtm added and then seeing the size of the new game they have added alot.

Well, for those Australians in here, I checked with EB games. They will be stocking it. They just can't tell me when.

Fitzy - see my earlier post:
Well it would appear that I am wrong...

Australian X fans who don't want to buy online or download: EB Games has X3:TC listed for AUD$70. And they reckon they will have it in for 3/10.

I hope not X3+XTM as I have no time for Flappy Winged Space Dragon (insanity). Hopefully what you will have is some modified, and rebalanced XTM inspired content (the sensible and good stuff) plus much more.

As to it being an expansion that is what we were told it is - a stand alone expansion - what by the starry heavens is wrong with that.

To me it is a far better thing than a new game with a new engine that would have wasted development time that could have been employed to - better game play - not to mention possibly sending the minimal requirements soaring, plus maybe been extra buggy until it matured.

X3 - Terran Conflict

Post by madcaddie »

Tried the search but couldn't find any answers to the following issues that killed X3 for me.

1)Will OOS combat have the same result as in sector combat?

2)Will capital ships have have seperate dedicated anti-fighter/missile turrets in addition to its primary weapons? (An M2 using its main guns against an M5 is absurd & laggy)

3)Will all capital ships have multiple missile tubes or just Missile frigates?

Thanks for your time.
