X4 Update 7.60 Now Available

[Gregory]

We're happy to announce that the 7.60 update for X4: Foundations is now live! This is a purely technical update focused on improving video memory management, along with a range of bug fixes and optimizations to enhance stability and overall performance. While there are no new gameplay features in this update, these behind-the-scenes changes are all about making your experience smoother and more reliable.

A few notes on what changed
One of the key improvements in 7.60 is how the game handles GPU memory, to make it able to run better on lower-end systems such as the Steam Deck. The result is fewer cases where the game runs slowly or is unable to continue due to lack of GPU memory. A possible side effect for some people may be slightly slower loading of assets, such as ship parts or characters. If you run into this, you can try lowering Texture Quality to Medium or disabling Volumetric Fog in the graphics settings. These options have a fairly minor effect on the visuals of the game, but can free up a lot of GPU memory!

As always, thanks to everyone who took part in the Public Beta and shared feedback. Your input helps us keep X4 in great shape.
