Attention: This update is not compatible with the Steam-version of X3TC! The Steam-client will automatically download the updated files.
On this occasion we have also another issue of the X-Universe News for you. Enjoy!
small question about the "HUB mission rebalanced" improvement.
will it rebalance activated HUB missions? (i'm in the ore delivering phase, 350,000 units to go )

Hopefully not, however please keep in mind that the Steam guys are living and working in a different time zone than Egosoft.
They have been given the patch data but it may take a little while until they can get it ready and distribute it to all the content servers.
This will be an interesting test for Steam: if the Steam guys will make me spend the weekend without the patches X3TC will be the last game I buy on that platform, I swear this to God!
am i the only one having trouble downloading this? Everytime I click "check for updates" it finds the patch but when I click download it loads forever, same when I found this thread and used the link here

If you have the dvd you can download the patch from the Egosoft site too I guess.
At least you don't have to wait for some unknown people to go to workplace...
