Albion Prelude 2.51 - No Station Messages, Bulletin Board

[parameter]

Hi everyone. Long time no see. My Albion Prelude, 2.51, seems to be Steam connected: But no suicidal squid link, No Bulletin Board. Any patches I can use?
My game is Steam linked; supposedly, it is launched via Deliver2Mac, and its originator is VP

If it is a Steam game then do a gamefile cache verify (TC and AP separately if that applies here).

If that does not fix things and it is the VP version and not the Egosoft Mac port then you would be lucky to get any meaningful support now. You might need to ask for your money back from Deliver2Mac and get the Egosoft port instead.

Thanks Alan. Much appreciated. VP Ltd say they no longer have the license to sell or support Albion Prelude, or any Egosoft titles now(?).

Deliver2Mac just point in VP's direction.

By the way, you do know that X3TC/AP have no Bulletin Board? Just a player log and station missions.

The latter are identified by icons over the stations in space and alongside stations in the sector map listing - and alongside station personnel listed when you comm the station. This assumes that the station has any missions of course.

Suicidal Squid is the rather special Steam Dead-is-Dead game start and requires you to be confirmed online with Steam when starting or ending a play session.
