X4 Version 2.0 Beta 4 is now available

[Shehriazad]

If it's in beta now, it will probably be officially released by 1 March. I've planned my annual leave well.

Now to resist the overwhelming temptation of opting into beta...

What makes you think it would take them this long?!?

None of their beta patches needed this long so far. Give it a week, 10 days at most.

OH look, they can't but HE can ... thank you good sir.

Linking the forum as a whole rather than the individual thread was intentional, because we want people to read the instructions on giving feedback, not just the patch notes. And was it really so hard to click on the supplied link and follow the instructions to read the thread at the top of that forum?

So how do I obtain license to buy blueprints of wharf/shipyard? I maxed out relationship with Argon, but I don't see anywhere I can buy license. I also tried to scan blueprints using EMP but didn't work. Anyone figured out how?

Hello, thank you for the hard work, really nice to see so much improvements

There is a thread in the public beta feedback board about this. I think they said they were "working on it".

[HBK]

Ok now I need to develop a real-life SETA and engage it

Dude, i'm old and crap, i need specific ... services by now
You are running this brand for like 20 years, you have to expect some old farts in the audience who won't be able to find their own arse anymore without a map and a flashlight!

[consiefe]

My eyes are aching. Only question though, are invasion mechanics in place or will that be in another upcoming patch?

Don't worry mate, we'll all get there. Time spares no one and shows no mercy...

I have followed all of the instructions but can't find/haven't got a beta code.
I have been playing since release, and am on 1.6. Have I done something wrong and I'm not on the beta?

You don't get a "beta code". You enter the password, as explained in the instructions, and then select the Beta from the dropdown. There is no "being on the beta". If you follow the instructions then you have access to it; otherwise you do not.

The Turret rebalance I've been hoping for. L beams are lethal as hell now. That and the removal of the invincible building areas dotting my conquered xenon sectors, this is a great update.

[Ghalador]

Nope, not all of you will get there.

Already found the first UI crashing bug in my game XD. Posted it in tech forums...let's hope that gets hotfixed because Im locked out of adjusting my stations settings like that

A hotfix for this, and a couple of other issues, has been applied to X4 2.00 Beta 1.

Perfect, the hotfix also fixes an issue I was currently trying to succesfully reproduce as I had crashed twice around the same time while trying to save the game. Good job!

Also can confirm, my UI no longer crashes!

My body is ready, but my empire is not.
Gotta speed up my little project to set-up full self-sustained economy to serve my Shipyard.

As someone mentioned I miss "mass crew transfer" which is serious blocker for me to get into boarding, but well the rest of 2.0 will keep me occupied untill then.

[rrohde]

Any word on the HOTAS controller issues that some folks experience where their devices are not being recognized in X4, even though Windows and other simulation games see them just fine?

Thanks.

[mr.WHO]

Has anyone tried Beta already?
Any thoughts on improved capships and Xenon?
