but had no problems upgrading to 2.6...but how does the new mission start? I assume i may need to wait a bit unless there is a conflict between the 2.6 and my mods...

Anyone know?

I haven't gotten a chance, yet, to install but I had a few questions.

Does the bonus pack (CLS, Dock Ware, etc) flag you for modified, or are you still technically 'vanilla'?

I believe this was asked before, but do you have to start over or can you continue from a 2.5 game?

The whole point about the Bonuspack is that it doesn't cause a modified.

And patches have always been and will always be savegame-compatible.

Awesome stuff, You guys are the best.

So many other companies could learn a thing or two about game support from you

Good work, Egosoft, as always

I'm getting into the new missions now, no spoilers but they really are excellent, so kudos to whoever designed them!

Hmmm, have any of you guys been able to unlock any achievements? I've tried in my current vanilla game (tried building a factory) but I didn't un-lock the achievement. I've also checked Steam Global Stats and it seems that no one has unlocked any of them. Bug perhaps?

D'oh. I read through all six pages of this thread but didn't check the first page of the X-Universe forum

Thanks for the link

News on the Achievements

I'm happy to report that updating X3TC though the STEAM client will enable users to unlock Achievements.

As has already been mentioned many times before, making the game multi-core compatible would require a complete engine rewrite.

If you're not satisfied, then feel free to throw the game away.

It has been made clear on any number of occasions that it was never going to be possible to add support for multiple cores in a patch. This is because the game engine simply wasn't written with that in mind, largely because when it was created multiple cores were barely even on the horizon.

Regarding performance in general, improvements have been made in this patch as well as in previous ones, and the vast majority of people are not reporting performance issues. If you have a problem with performance then I suggest you register your game in your [url=http://forum.egosoft.com/profile.php?mode=editprofile][b]Fo[/b]rum[b]Pr[/b]ofile[/url] and post in the Tech Support forum with details including your [url=http://www.egosoft.com/support/faq/faq_answer_en.php?answer=610&version=8][b]DX[/b][b]D[/b]iag[/url] repiort.

Not sure if this is the correct place to post this info, please move it if it isn't.

The 2.6 seems to have removed the laa flag, assuming you already had it enabled (on dvd anyway) reinstating it gives back the desired results.

Long live ego!

It's not exactly that it has "removed" the LAA flag, but since the 2.6 patch comes with a new EXE file you do have to re-apply the LAA flag to the new version.

A bit harsh there,Emp.

He's not aware that somethings need a complete rewrite to do,rather than a few lines of code.
Nor did I until I looked into such things a long time ago.
Probably why I have avoided getting back into programming.

Anyway,we can wait for "TNBT" Ego are working on.
You never know,...With so many of us having at least Dual core,they might implement his/other's requests

A bit harsh there,Emp.

I don't think I was.

I was just stating the facts.

I didn't say anything like 'Oh, this game obviously isn't for people like you, why did you bother buying it'

That, would be harsh.
