anyone knows why when I quit a games and check the task manager only 50% of the cpu was used while I was playing? if it because I put X3.EXE on very high or real time and it is not the game?

Your CPU has Hyper-Thread, hasn't it? In that case that is perfectly normal. You have to disable your Hyper-Thread in your BIOS if you want X³ to have full system capacity.

Don't disable it... I think hyperthreading still causes the system to perform much better in cpu intensive tasks...

Taskmgr just shows it as 50% in each window. If you go to "view\CPU history" select "One Graph All CPU'"s and it should look more like you expect it to.

THX Egosoft,

this patch does significantly improve my performance, as well as some gameplay issues mentioned in the sugestions-thread for Patch v1.3
(like my MK3 traders name with about 100 chars :D).

I am satisfied to see that there is someone, who tends our needs :D

@Raziaar: Ihave a landscape-rendering program called Terragen, which renders in nearly half the time when I DISable HT... I suspect one has to try on every program if it runs faster with or without HT.

What about the bug during the mission with Maira? She still hasn't contacted me since I rescued her... That really needs to be fixed

I play X3 on 1280x900, High/High, AA/AF on and loving every second of it.
PC Specs:
Pentium 4 2.0Ghz, 1GB DDR RAM
MSI ATI 9800Pro 128MB, SoundBlaster Live!, 16x DVD Rom

Doesn't the game become a slide show with these specs?

The game plays much better. The frame rates have substantially improved, however, the HUD is still a major concern, as dropping it gives +60-70% fps.

Hmmm well my performance doesn't seem to have increased.
Still at 1024x768 all ticks unticked, texture medium and shading on low.
Tried increasing the settinga from that and I find it nearly impossible to take on pirates in a dogfight..

Ohwell, I can live with it :)

Could someone tell me if AA etc is better to have on in the game or on the video card?

You've gained a new fan Egosoft. Thanks alot for the patch. Works great on my system. Haven't had any problems yet. :thumb_up:

I was somehow right buying X-3 rather than Civ-4 few days ago. :roll:

Good job, keep em coming. :x3:

Far from it. The only thing that makes my game slow is my lack of good processor speeds and assumely a lack of 2GB of RAM. It was only a slide show before 1.2.1 in Argon Prime withthe Hud on. :P Amazingly, that 9800Pro can do alot.
