      This is your opportunity to showcase your skills, compete against me, and earn exclusive rewards!
      
      Event Details
      • Frequency: Monthly
      • Challenge: Reach the best score you can in the specific scenario from X4: Timelines.
      • Submission: Post your account name along with a screenshot of the scenario summary screen in the event's thread on one of the correct platforms. Check the How to Participate section for the correct links!
        • Rules
          • You must be logged in to your Egosoft account.
          • Your game must not be modded.
          • You must post an unedited screenshot of your achieved score in the correct scenario (Example Screenshot).
          • If you use a third-party image hosting service or file sharing website to upload and store your screenshot submission, make sure that the submission stays available until the event ends.
          • You may only send one submission per challenge. If you’ve sent your submission, there’s a good chance that your screenshot has already been reviewed and saved, so don’t try and send another.
          • Only send your submission on one platform. Sending your submission on multiple platforms won’t grant you multiple rewards.
          • We won't be able to automatically detect the score of players - participants MUST post a screenshot of their score along with their account name here.
          • If you've already done the scenario before and surpassed my score: simply get on a Nodus Interlink, select the right scenario, and screencap the score you've achieved.
        • Reward(s)
          • We are trying out an experimental reward system this round.
          • The better star rating you reach, the more rewards you'll receive!
          • The rewards will automatically appear in your game’s inventory after the evaluation period.
        • How to Participate
          • Ensure that you have purchased and activated the X4: Timelines expansion.
          • Log in to your Egosoft account in the settings menu to be eligible for rewards - “How to Log In to your Egosoft Account video guide”.
          • Beat my score in the specific Scenario in the Timelines game mode.
          • Capture a screenshot of your score.
          • Submit your screenshot and account name on one of the following platforms:
            • Our Official Forum
            • The X4: Foundations Steam Forum
            • Our Discord “Beat the Community Manager” group chat in the #media_creative channel.
        
        Guides
        • How to take and share your screenshot for the submission:
          • If you are playing the game on Steam, you can simply press [F12] to take your screenshot. Steam will give you the option to upload your pictures to their cloud right away.
            Press [SHIFT+TAB] to open Steam’s in-game interface - your screenshot menu will pop up. Make sure that you set the screenshot’s visibility to “Public” and upload it.
            Once the upload has finished, click on the “View Online” button. You’ll see your uploaded screenshot and there will be a Share button around it - press it and copy the link. Then, you can simply post this link to one of the locations listed above.
          • Another way is to use a third-party program that can save images directly to your chosen folder. For those with Nvidia GPUs, there's a program called Nvidia GeForce Experience that does this automatically. Once it is enabled, you can take screenshots just by pressing [ALT+F1].
          • In case you wish to do it the classic way, you can press the [ALT+ PrtScr] keys on your keyboard to snap a screenshot. After that, you will need an image editor program (such as MS Paint) to paste it into and save your image.
        • How to upload your screenshot submission
          It depends on where you wish to participate:
          • Egosoft Official Forum: Important note: new accounts are required to meet a certain activity treshold in order to be able to use this method! When replying to the thread, navigate to Attachments at the bottom. Press the Add files button and select your screenshot. Once it has uploaded, press the Place Inline button and Submit your post. Please note that the maximum file size you can upload is 15 MB. If your submission’s file size is greater than that, then it cannot be uploaded and you’ll have to look for third-party image hosting sites to share your entry.
          • Steam Forum: You’ll need to upload your screenshot to the Steam cloud or a third-party website. When replying to the thread, simply copy the link into the text field and post the comment.
            Note: if Steam's screenshot service is not an option for you, a good third-party image hosting website alternative is imgur - but make sure you register an account there before you start dropping your screenshots.
          • Our Official Discord: Navigate to the event group chat in #media_creative. Simply drag and drop your screenshot into the text field and submit the comment.
        • How to log into your Egosoft account
          • Start X4: Foundations and, once the main menu has appeared, navigate to Settings -> Online Features. If you have an Egosoft account already, enter your log in credentials into the correct field, accept the terms of the Privacy Policy and press the Log In button.
          • If you do not have an Egosoft account yet, fret not - you can press the Register button in-game in the Online Features menu, or you can navigate to www.egosoft.com using a browser and start the registration process from there.
          • You can also check out this video guide about it.
        
        If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.
        Happy high score hunting!

No 5* reward? I was expecting another extreme challenge... But this time I have nothing to complain about, that's for sure.

Anyway, here is my submission. Username is Astreas.

My save of 'Timeline' was lost once, and playing it again is really torture。

My name is “dudu200508”，same as which in this website……

[PV_]

Link
Account name: "PV_"

participants MUST post a screenshot of their score along with their account name here

1) Just nickname in the reply or it has to be seen in the screenshot?
2) Just curious, is it possible for the in-game leaderboard nickname to differ from the forum account name? I mean isn't it superfluous request as the one may just move their glance a bit left and read the poster's nickname? Or is it for copy/paste convenience?

Thank you so very much for doing this. I wasn't able to complete the challenge earlier due to countless schedule conflicts followed by a computer failure. I had resigned myself to missing my chance. But today I've just managed to restore my laptop to playable state and just now completed the challenge. Thanks again and best wishes for the new year!
