Was this ever adressed as a problem / confirmed by the devs that it isn't an intentional gameplay feature? If not I'm afraid there won't be a "fix".

If you want to discuss a change here the place to go would be the public beta 3.0 forum.

Looking forward to the expansion, but I'm concerned about performance. X4 without the expansion became unplayable at <5 fps at over 300 hours game time --for battles involving a hundred or more ships . (And I've this is with a i7 and 1080 ti machine and a i9 with a 2070)--more than enough CPU and video processing power. FPS constantly decreases the more the X4 universe comes alive. Now the universe is even larger and there is great potential for more ships and battles. I'm concerned that the underlying performance issues have not been fixed, but the potential for even greater now that the universe and complexity is even larger.

No X-Game ever was able to run battle of hundred ships year after release.

I don't know what you expect the FPS with bazilion of ships while the CPU process thousands of ships, bases, production and transactions in the background.

You might have decent framerate after like 5-6 years and new PC when hardware keep up with what game need to handle.
This was perfectly normal for every single game since X2. Even if performance wise X4 is rather well optimized (comparing to other X-titles).

@ dreamer2008: mr.Who said the public beta *forum* and not the beta announcement thread here. Still, CBJ has given you an answer there and so the matter is closed.

Just paid for the expansion as a pre-order on GOG. First time I've ever pre-ordered a game... Damn, I must be going soft in my twilight years. :shock:

Sooo, considering they've been fixing bugs for many months now, I guess it's time for another fresh new play start, after months long break. Got 700+ hours already spend in game, I am hoping for something really cool and was waiting for this.

People keep asking me if I’m back, and after a nearly 10 year retirement, I’m thinking that - yeah - I’m back.

It was the footage of the Split Dragon In the trailer that swung it.

Can’t wait!

At what time will the DLC go online? I need to know so I can make any work related plans with that in mind! ;)

@ steam you can see planed time, and its 31.03.2020 at 21 o'clock. it seems the devs need time two fix bugs and they bring it out at the end of theyr workday.

perhaps the time from steam is wrong or only a final time. i hope it'S earlier because i sit @home, but i will wait and drink coffee.

Please don't take the Steam time as absolute fact. We don't know the exact time yet and may not do so until the last minute.
