Good work guys, much appreciated.

I hope this is reflected in your forth coming game reviews of X3.

As the UK release is officially today and you can get the patch today, it will hopefully just be a footnote....

The patch is just a zip/rar file that is decompressed directly into your X3 install folder. So I cannot see any problems with a friend downloading the file if you do not have broadband.

** Makes sure any weapons pointed at Evil_Kaz only have blanks in them **

At least now as soon as my copy arrives from Egosoft I'll be able to patch straight away and not have to wait till it downloads

Since I still dont have a confermation of my pre-order being send, could Egosoft put the patch on a CD and pack it between the book and the X3-box?

Wonders why it hasn't been send yet? I ordered 2 weeks ago.

Is it only my thught or is it the publishers fault, that EGO is making so many patches for X3 ?
well i'm not mad about it (it's kind'a cool i think) that EGO is working this hard to fix all the problems they find

hmm patches for a game that is not even on the market (in germany) makes me a bit proud that I am a member of this living Community

and by the way, yeah i'm a lousy german "kraut"

but 50% english blood running through my viens

Sound excellent! Bring on the 1.2 Patch!

I dont have X3 yet but am very curious abuot the modified start position. It is simply a tweaking of the economy so that there are more trade opportunities or is it a change to what the player has to start with? I really want a Elite-style mountian to climb this time round.

A lot of publishers now play the stock market, Civilization IV radically effected it's publishers share price when both announced and completed... Games are business. The customer is only needed for one thing, their money - whether they are satisfied or not, whether they even play the game after buying - that is not important to a publisher, they get their money and that's that.

The developer I work for is also publishing the title itself.

Id love to say it and i will

The worrying thing about patch 1.2 is that patch 1.3 is already on its way. for mid November. How much is missing from 1.2 that is in 1.3 ?
This is before the mass market has got its hands on the game, I wonder how many other bugs will be found over the next couple of days?

Also can anyone confirm that 1.2 savegames are compatable with 1.3 ?

well some people are easily pleased...me...I,m more skeptical.
The best dev in the world wouldn't need patches 'cos it would have been right first time.
As it is there are two patches coming up so...
they didn't get it right first time and they didn't get it right second time either.
But anyway....I,m off down the shops to buy the game...if I can!

Don't take my reply too seriously though, cos I love the games anyway.
