[mrbadger]

mumble mumble waiting for patch on Steam mumble..

Mind you, when I had X3:R on dvd I had to buy it twice because the dvd got scratched. You can't have everything...

[googlemeier]

GRT THX!!!

Eempc:

Spoiler

You can buy a factory at a new Split Shipyard in Thyn's Abyss

[Gazz]

The OTAS Boreas has undergone some much-needed balancing.

Aww, this is rough. Now I may have to find something else to complain about. =/

[mad_axeman]

So... no one at egosoft has actually answered this... What's in this package for those people who:
a) Don't follow the plot.
b) Like to play peacefully.

Or have you forgotten about us????

[Rednoahl]

Awesome work fellas!

Really looking forward to having UT/ST's working properly more than anything else.

Shame I've got nine days solid work to do, so I'm barely going to have time to play....grumble grumble...

[Gswine]

Ta for the early birthday present Egosoft. Now off to find out what you need to put in 2.1!!

I aint an egosoft rep or anything but....

There are the UT fixes and general performance/stability improvements (still WiP though) for starters.

Building a complex is hard enough with the nodes pointing in the right direction.

Factory nodes and docking clamps still awry.

Edited: To be more to the point.

[palm911]

is there a list of fixes?

(Steam as usual is late.) we second grade customers are totally screwed up. but good job Ego on getting the patch out for DVD users i know steam is not your fault.

thanks...

Two quick questions:

1)What RC is this(just curious)?

2)What is with the medals from the user account(its new because this morning was nothing there)?

Cheers Adrian.

EDIT:

2)OOOps just found the thread ,sorry.

[Hippotastic]

Yay!!

I just finised the plot in x3R last night! What timing eh? Ta very much.

[CBJ]

1)What RC is this(just curious)?

It isn't an RC, it's the release version.

2)What is with the medals from the user account(its new because this morning was nothing there)?

Try hovering your mouse over them or reading the thread in the off-topic forum.

is there a list of fixes?

There is a summary in the patch readme file.

It isn't Steam's fault either. If you want to blame anyone then blame the US retailers for releasing the boxed copies early. The Steam version should still be ready for download before the originally-planned date.

[BigBANGtheory]

This update, which has undergone more widespread testing than is normally the case...

I am so pleased Egosoft have taken this much needed step, I hope it was a worthwhile and positive experience that you will repeat.

[Rednoahl]

Just flown around one of my complex' in ore belt and I seem to be getting a much higher frame-rate and a lot less lag...and my rig sucks. Actually...I'm not getting any lag. I'm a very happy bunny indeed!

[PlatinumTech]

1)What RC is this(just curious)?

It isn't an RC, it's the release version.

amtct, RC = Release Candidate; Release = umm.. the Release.

Well, if it makes you feel better, when I saw it on store shelves on April 1st, I bought a copy, even though I already had a Steam copy ;]

Edit:
I've also noticed a performace increase, previously HQ's (like Terracorp HQ) killed my otherwise flawless framerate maxed out. It literally became a slideshow even with a duel-core 3.6GHz processor and an ATI 4870 videocard with 4 GB of ram. Now it stays stable.

[palm911]

i dont have access to it. (im on steam) .... if someone could post the list it will be awesome

please CBJ, can you please bug then (steam a bit) you know, it might get things faster

thanks

P.S.Next is a weekend full of X3 TC
