X3 Gold Available now.

Polarman · Apr 24, 2009, 03:27 PM

The collector's edition contains both X³ games, including all add-ons. The new add-on "The Aldrin Missions" for X³: Terran Conflict is released for the first time, offering numerous additional missions, ships, and sectors. The X³: Gold Edition represents the grand finale of the X trilogy, providing many hours of gaming fun.

For those who like to experience that outer space atmosphere outside of the game as well, the X³: Gold Edition also contains a soundtrack CD with music from X³: Terran Conflict.

Sounds pretty good. At 40$, i feel like buying it.

douglatins · Apr 24, 2009, 04:09 PM

This game is very cool, i have Terran, but haven't had any time to play it as of yet

Taz100420 · Apr 24, 2009, 11:19 PM

I have TC but it lags bad on some maps. Great game tho!

FordGT90Concept · Apr 24, 2009, 11:51 PM

Gold isn't available in USA and there's no signs it will be either.

If memory serves, Gold is German only (manual, packaging) but the disk has English content.

Polarman · Apr 25, 2009, 12:30 AM

I saw it on Gamersgate. Maybe because it's in Europe.

Kursah · Apr 25, 2009, 01:02 AM

It is a cool game, but I prefer the indie Evochron: Legends over this. The graphics aren't nearly as good, but to me the gameplay is much better, and multiplayer rules. But the X3 trilogy for 40 bucks is a solid deal imo. Definately good stuff for space sims!

ShiBDiB · Apr 25, 2009, 03:39 AM

fun game, i dont like the grind it takes to get to the part i like.. i enjoy building a space empire with multiple ships flying patrols and watnot. is their a mod out that will help me do this?

FordGT90Concept · Apr 25, 2009, 04:05 AM

There's a cheating script that allows you to do pretty much anything; however, to use it is to suck the entertainment value out of the game.

If you want it here it is.

I have Evochron Renegades demo and it is a great game as to X3. kind of dumb they only give a 90 min. demo for them lol.

ShiBDiB · Apr 26, 2009, 06:03 PM

just installed this on my newest system and updated tc to 2.0 and i get a slideshow whenever i try to accelerate/decellerate

back to eve i guess

FordGT90Concept · Apr 26, 2009, 06:06 PM

A GTX 280 shouldn't have any problems. Maybe try different drivers?

I played it fine on a 4000+ (2.4 GHz) and X800 XL. It got pretty nasty in a few sequencies (like the end of Reunion) but overall, it was fine.

ShiBDiB · Apr 26, 2009, 06:08 PM

ya i was lookin on the games forum and it seems some people r getting random performance problems. My system runs the game fine with objects moving around me, just as soon as i accelerate at all.. slideshow

Frick · Apr 26, 2009, 07:09 PM

Aww.. I really wanted to love this game, but it's a bit too complex for my taste. I've been playing Freelancer way too much.

Well, don't uninstall it. Egosoft is pretty good about patching so they might get it fixed soon.

ya i might reinstall, apparently its the 2.0 patch that some people have problems with

FordGT90Concept · Apr 26, 2009, 10:12 PM

I didn't try it yet with the Aldrin Missions installed. Bugger, I might not be able to play it either.

Im on v1.4 and runs alot better than 2.0 or 2.0a
Plus I can run it decently also but I turned all the stuff off/low and runs alot better.

daragez · Apr 27, 2009, 01:26 AM

FordGT90Concept · Apr 27, 2009, 05:48 AM

ShiBDiB · Apr 28, 2009, 12:44 AM

lol ive been treatedlike a nub on their suppot forums, "o ur oc isnt right downclock it" "o ur using unstable beta drivers downgrade" my oc has been stress tested and is running cool as balls, and the nvidia beta drivers r stable as hell its something with ur shitty game not my setup ffs

FordGT90Concept · Apr 28, 2009, 12:46 AM

I'm using 182.06 drivers if you want to try those.

ShiBDiB · Apr 28, 2009, 01:20 AM

ive downclocked and downgraded to satisfy them already to no effect

FordGT90Concept · Apr 28, 2009, 05:04 AM

It could be audio related. If you have to audio devices to try, try switching to the other one to see if that does it too. 2/3 times, that fixes it.

ShiBDiB · Apr 28, 2009, 06:34 AM

i had the dvd version and i just bought the steam version as well for some reason the steam version works....
