Update 6.20 now available

[Gregory]

Thanks to your continued support over the course of almost two months of public beta, we are now able to deliver the next significant update for X4: Foundations.

With the 6.20 update, players will find quality of life improvements to the Interact menu, and improved NPC behaviour such as enhanced police responses and better use of deployables during combat. Some other key areas addressed include mission bug fixes, as well as improvements to AI behaviour and ship movement, aiming to provide players with a more immersive and realistic spacefaring experience. Mouse steering mode has been tweaked for more intuitive control, and new hotkey bindings make gameplay more efficient. We have also added a full text Czech localisation, which extends the game's accessibility to a broader audience. This update represents a comprehensive round of enhancements, bolstering the overall game quality.

Please check out the complete changelog in our forums for more details.

We would also like to use this opportunity to forewarn you that 6.20 will most likely be the last update before the big leap to version 7.00. We gave a brief insight into some planned aspects of the future 7.00 update shortly after the release of 6.00 and X4: Kingdom End. You can still watch the video on our YouTube channel. Of course, it won't stop there, and we have many more exciting surprises in store for you for the big 7.00 update. However, it will be a while before we can start talking about it in more detail. So, please don't worry if it gets a little quiet in the coming weeks and months - the team is working hard on 7.00, and on other things that we will reveal in due course.

By the way, we will be exhibiting for the first time at EGX London in mid-October. Feel free to drop by to meet team members and have a chat about the X-series. We will remind you about this in a separate news item closer to the time.

As always, thank you for your continued support! 2023 has been very successful for us so far and we look forward to updating you on the next steps for X4 in the not too distant future.

Fixed capital ships stopping main battery fire while in combat.

I hope this means an Asgard will use its main beam weapon against Ks and Is, instead of relying on its turrets and getting destroyed, which I have witnessed on several occasions.
Lots of capital ship improvements here. Thank's for the support, and improvement to such a GREAT game.

Dal Busta's ship is going to be stuck in station storage for months ..
.. Oh well, I shall be busy fending off Xenon to stop them destroying the station he is on

Thank you Egosoft, 6.20 is a huge improvement on the previous version. Looking forward to 7.0

How do I upgrade my game. It's not Steam.

If you're not using Steam then it must be GOG, in which case you either let GOG Galaxy to do the update automatically (Windows only) or you can use their offline installer to install the latest version.

Ah. Thanks for the prompt reply.

Kind regards,
