the best buy best selling has crashed and arrested the game

[phantomrock2]

CAN A DEV contact me to find out why the game has been arrested and will not respond after loading up
Almost about every time when using the best selling best buying feature it will arrest the game or freeze it to the point where the game is impossible to play
I have posted this happening more than a few times in and on this forum
NOW I CANNOT get the game instance to finish loading up and respond after doing so

1. I did not have an MODs installed. ***NOTICE*** I have stated that I had (past tense) no MODS installed because after numerous years of playing I prefer to not use any MODs due in large part that some of these MODS make the game erratic and unstable I am now watching the computer with the status circle when saving and if I am not careful I now could end up closing the game and this is after installing the UNOFFICIAL PATCH

2. plain ol VAnilla game and every time I use the BB BS it will either or both: crash the game and arrest the computer to the point where I have to use Task Manager to END TASK

3. Why this was never fixed signed and made available without having to download an UNOFFICIAL PATCH is way beyond me


4. This quote reply is not intended to belittle or sound adversarial in nature it is only intended to state that I had no MODS installed and that the Best Selling Best Buying Command keeps / kept on freezing the game and arresting the computer and that when loading the game file up the game would only proceed to be unresponsive

5. The aforementioned command does not do this in X3AP

I do get a brief lag when I open BB/BS sometimes, but I've never had it crash- even in the first release. In FL, it reaches several sectors so I expect the lagging is due to the extra processing. I've never seen anyone else having the problems you report so maybe it's a hardware/software issue unique to you.

I've encountered a few bugs since 1.0, some game breaking, but I keep in mind that this release is a free labor of love by fans. They've done a phenomenal job crushing bugs so far, but there's only so many hours in a day and people have 'real life' too

The most important part of N8M4R3's post was can you provide a Game save to help the devs try and reproduce the problem.
Until that happens they cant help.
Use something like DropBox or GoogleDrive to upload the save file, and then provide a link to that save file here in this topic. If you use DropBox put the file in the Public sharing section. If you use GoogleDrive make sure you change the Sharing options so that anyone can download it.

Another file that might help them to help you, is a DXDiag report. https://wiki.egosoft.com:1337/X4%20Foun ... ulkanInfo/

Once you have a game save, also give instructions on how to reproduce the problem, using that save file, what step by step actions do the devs need to do after loading it.

You dont have to do any of this ofc, depends how badly you want to get the issue fixed.

Edit: I dont know for sure, but I think the reason X3FL does not have a Tech Support sub-forum, is because the game was a collaboration between Community members and some Egosoft staff, so we will not get full support/endorsement from Egosoft for this game. Edit2: Scratch that, there is an FL Tech support forum viewforum.php?f=93&sid=b13e52e91cb67e46e342b9989060d14b
