Required Information in all Technical Support Requests

Please ensure that you provide the following information for all questions posted in this Technical Support forum.
  • Version and language (e.g. 8.00 Hotfix 3, English, etc.).
  • Whether or not your game is modified using any third party scripts or mods (see note below).
  • The game start you originally selected for the game in which the problem occurred.
  • Exact nature of the problem, where and when it occurs and what you were doing at the time.
  • Any possibly relevant changes you have made to your game, system, or software before the issue occurred.
  • Where appropriate, additional symptoms, error messages, links to saves, screenshots and crash dump files (see this Wiki entry).
  • Your system specifications in the form of a DxDiag report and vulkaninfo (see this Wiki entry).
Failure to provide all this information will make it pretty much impossible for people to help you and may mean that it takes longer for your problem to be identified and hopefully solved. So please don't waste your own time and everyone else's by just posting something like "My game freezes. Help!!!".

If you are supplying information that will not conveniently fit into posts in this forum (approx 70,000 character limit per post), in the worst case you can split long text files across 2 consecutive posts, or ideally you can upload the data to a reputable public fileshare site (a few examples are Google Drive, DropBox or PasteBin, etc) but please don't use sites that spam advertising or require registration for downloads. Please use in your post the open public sharing link to your file(s) that will not require any account or registration for others to download.

Note: Support for third party modifications must be provided by the authors of those modifications, and any requests for such support should be posted in the appropriate thread in the Scripts and Modding forum.

Missing Foundations Collector's Edition Content

Post by MaantisFohr »

Hi, I was changing my ship paint and noticed I no longer have the bonus paints that I got with the Collectors Edition. When I checked in Steam it stated that "X4: Foundations Collector's Edition - Extra Content is no longer available on the Steam store."

Where do we get the bonus paint content please?

Thanks,

MaantisFohr

IIRC, Foundation X was the Collectors' Edition bonus paint job, and Obsidian X was the bonus available only for pre-ordering it. Also paint jobs are one-time use and can be used up. What is the situation in your case? (I am still seeing mine in-game.)

Oh, and remember to click the various right-facing chevron tabs at the top left of the redesign paintjob screen to be able to see the higher tiers of paintjobs!

The change to the availability of that edition has nothing to do with the availability of items that came with that edition.

Items that are limited by edition or time of purchase require normally you to log in to your online account in-game in order for them to be available. If you've not done this then that would explain why you don't currently have them.

Is there any plan to make the Obsidian X paintjob available for all players in the future, via DLC or another method?

It wouldn't be much of an exclusive pre-order bonus if we did that, would it?

Now since this is an old thread, and your question is not a Tech Support matter, we'll let this sink down. :)
