Hi, Ive been playing X3 tc for a while and in the beginning my fps was very nice but once i got hold of some universal traders i began to use SETA for a couple days, This has reduced my fps in the game so much its unplayable for the moment.
Im not running any other programs in the backround and i havent changed any settings for my computer, something is wrong with the game i think, anyone know how i can improve my fps again?
Ive tried setting the resolution and all graphics to low but still its the same bad fps and stuttering.
The computer im using is a Q6600 Intel with HD 4870X2 2GB, 4 GB ram and vista 64bit,
Thanks / Kampfar

Just received the game and came looking for patches, I must say I'm not too pleased so far as there seems to be rather a lot of problems posted here.
I have not installed yet, tomorrow hopefully, but just a thought for those suffering slow downs, poor fps etc. Well it works for me, although in this high spec, multi app OS time it seems a throw back to the good old days.
Its late, so quick summary.
1. Hard Drive: 2 partitions (or 2 drives)
2. Install windows (XP SP3 for me), latest chipset drivers (inc sound), latest direct X, latest graphics driver
3. Install disk image software, create image to second partition.
4. Install game including patches so as ready to run.
5. Create another image to second partition, (ie named X3?)
6. Load first image (ie clean windows) and load all your fav progs, printer etc, not forgetting firewall & anti virus.
7. Create another image of your upto date everyday windows.
8. Rember to store all data/work on 2nd partition/drive.
9. Restore image for given use, ie game or windows.
DONT FORGET TO BACK UP SAVEGAMES AND DATA/WORK BEFORE RESTORING!!!!!!!
Hope this might help some people, even if it is hastily written, you should get the idea.
I do this all the time, currently five game images, it only takes me approx 5 mins to restore my largest image, make a coffee?
It takes a bit of discipline to remember to back up but its not too hard to remember is it? Use a post it!
I have found that I am quite happily playing when others have been suffering possibly due to god knows how many resources been zapped and conflicts popping up from numerous multi prog installations. It doesn't always work, sometimes we just get a crap game.
So will this help X3? don't know, works for me on other games so hope it helps you. But its now 3AM and so i'm off to crash!
