reunion 2.5b broke cutscenes.
In 2.5a everything was alright.
I just updates and found out the bugs))

It could be seen right at the beginning of the game. The camera is inside the ship.
And moves back again each time the new dialogue line is started.

I would verify your GOG X3:R installation since the update. (Obviously applying to X3:R rather than X4.)

2.5b Changelog (September 2023 for Steam during Steam's 20th Anniversary Event - not sure how well that translated over to GOG though):
• Added support for wider range of resolutions.
• Added default controller layout for keyboard/mouse emulation via Steam Input.
• Fixed video/animation timing issues with high framerates.
• Fixed several causes of crashes.

If you don't need the above changes and were happy with 2.5a play then I would just revert if all else fails.

X³: Reunion 2.5b bug

Post by egornov.ivan »

Newest patch breaks me game...
I start to get issue after the game's auto update yesterday, which i don't even know what patch is that, 2.5b maybe? but for what reason that steam runs an auto update for my game, that patch breaks my game for sure, now there is a chance that in game camara will start to become totally "bugged out" after cutscene in a mission, or just shift from mouse control to keyboard control, it can start to rotate towards that last direction you inputed without acturally turning the ship (kinda like become a torrent camara), or stuck on quest object or target object and refuse to go back to my ship... and when this happens, it disable all function of the ingame key mapping.

am i the only one got this problem? or anyone out there got any idea about ho to fix this?
I had this bug before, I'll check it again today

Little intermission:
I would rather they had improved UI - so that it scales better to high resolutions.
The UI is really small for 2k resolution. Although the game itself is stunning. And it's a pity that you have to resort to lowering your resolution, just to be able read text.
I honestly think the size of the UI is the biggest problem with x3.

It's really easy to check.
You can see it right at the start of the game.
You start a new game, and there it is.


I suppose it somehow breaks the dialogue lines, making them a little more abrupt, and it could mess up some phrases. But I'm not 100% sure about that.
I watched a YouTube streamer named Romitch, and he had problems with cutscenes (the issue I explained above), and some dialogue lines were used at the wrong times.

He thought it was because of the widescreen resolution, but I tried even the lowest 4:3 resolution, and the problem still exists.

It would be nice if this problem could be fixed if possible. :roll:
