Thankyou for Patch 1.2 What a difference !

Panasonic, the verdict on that was somewhat related to the errors before the patch, but also that nvidia users need to update to the very newest drivers, either 81.85 or beta drivers 81.87 to fix stuttering problems, in most every game

Cool, thx, now I feel much better

Charming, you have to have IE6 set as your default browser in order for the update page to work from that button. Nice one....

Well, that's good to hear... </sarcasm>

Well, that's good news - frankly, I was a bit miffed when I heard the initial reviews, what with the poor performance and all, not to mention all the CTDs. However, if 1.2 is half as good as you all make it out to be, then perhaps I should cease regretting my pre-order and hope that my rig will be up to the task of running X3 in its full visual glory.

Wow, sounds like the patch has really transformed the game

I'm just downloading it now. Can't wait to get my joystick working at last

After installing Patch 1.2 : No joystick problems, no crashes, no obvious bugs.
Good work Egosoft.

Once again a new game is rushed onto the shelves and has major bugs-i don't call CTD's or issues with Joystick control minor. What happened to testing? It's like the first new house I purchased-the plaster and paint was still wet on the walls. This is the pursuit of revenue. I'm surprised that the X2 experience did not filter through to X3-X2 had serious bugs on release. I hope that X3 produces a more playable experience. I mean I don't get CTD's with Spellforce, Doom3 or any other games I can think of. I feel patches should be used to enhance the gaming experience or correct minor glitches not major programing flaws-get it mostly right-you have an obligation BEFORE you take any money.

I was a bit worried when I got the confirmation email that mentioned the 1.2 patch, but I have to say I'm impressed that it's available on release day. Damn good job!!

Anyway, time to start playing!!!

Does anyone know if you can just download the patch, without installing the game - so i can be ready when my X3 arrives in the post!

You have to be registered for the game to download the patch

No you don't, just go to http://www.egosoft.com/download/x3/patches_en.php

No need to register!

I didn't try X3 without the 1.2 patch, so thus far I have seen no problems.

This game is bloody awesome, Im well impressed.

Its funny to have a game where the game graphics out strip the prerendered video sequences.

I just realized that download the patch for us North American people is rather pointless... different publishers, different copy protection, no wonder they called it UK release patch

Catspaws · Post by **Catspaws** » Fri, 28. Oct 05, 20:38

For Jae,

Yep a radeon 9000 128Mb, Athlon 2600+XP, 1 GB RAM and it works fine

With that in mind, any news on when the North American 1.2 patch will be out (or if it's even necessary)

Just thought I’d also voice my opinion on the good job egosoft did by bringing out the 1.2patch so soon. Great job before I got it I was lagging on lowest setting and crashed (my pc) going through a jump-gate. Now no such problems cheers!

I don't see any difference other than a few starforce files in the patch. The rest are the usual X3.exe and a dat file. I think it should work just fine for NA version of X3. After all, it's the same english version.

well i turned everything down to low to be on the safe side and my games runs fine ill be happier when my cyborg evo arrives on monday but i played X2 with keyboard and mouse so ill manage till then and the menu i mean weird its difficult to play when those of us didnt read the book or try the tutorial went straight into game and well confusion abounds

i shall persevere, even on absolutely minimum settings it still looks pretty

Could anyone tell me what the "improved trading options" from the start concerns and applies to?

Thanks,
