Patch 1.4.1 BETA 2 to fix savegame loading issues
* Certain crashes related to loading savegames have been resolved (some savegames from version 1.3.02beta might no longer be compatible with 1.4.1)
* A crash that appeared when adding a new station to a specific complex configuration has been resolved and complex building routines have been adapted
* A crash that appeared under Win98/Win2000 when firing weapons has been resolved
* A crash when starting the game on older CPUs (Athlon, C3) has been resolved
* Issues with older ATI graphics card drivers (pre cat6.3) and medium shader settings that resulted in videos being played back as a white screen have been resolved
* Some textures have been improved to reduce the "see-through" effect (e.g. planets could be seen through certain pixels at the border of otherwise solid objects)
* Improved installation of Windows Media Codecs under Windows 98 / 2000 (the default installation sometimes did not complete the setup process)
* Support for widescreen resolutions has been improved, aspect ratio corrected
Of course this version is compatible with savegames from all previously released as well as future versions of X3.
Please post your feedback, whether this version has resolved your crashing problems and also please let us know if you still experience problems when loading savegames.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
If you purchased X3 as downloadable version protected by StarForce ProActive, please do NOT install this patch. It will have no effect!
Obviously the final version of this patch will be compatible with ProActive-protected versions.
Everyone who has got X3 has CD or DVD version and is experiencing problems loading savegames should download and install this patch 1.4.1 BETA 2:
