Patch 1.20.14848 (12 June 2017)

Note:

- This update will reset your settings back to their defaults. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Game Start / “ISV Serenity” issues

- The collision model of the lander “ISV Serenity” has been changed. It is now much easier to get it back on its feet, particularly for new players.
- A display bug in the lander preview in the mission selection lead to people assuming that the Serenity was the best lander. For new players, we recommend the “ISV Odyssey”.
- Story Mode is now selected by default when game is started the first time
- In Story Mode the lander is not rotated during surface entry anymore, making it easier to prevent crashes.

Star System:

- Changed out of bounds handling in star systems: Ship now activates autopilot mode and returns to star system
- Star System jump out sound was being played a bit too early which could cause to an unwanted jump abort by the player
- Sometimes the player wasn't set back to the right position in the star system when opening and closing the galaxy map after an encounter

Lander cargo:

- Hint about cargo unload of lander when docking and undocking added to resource screen
- In addition the lander gets unloaded when going into orbit and when leaving the resource screen
- Added lander cargo overview to planet overview when in orbit

Encounter:

- In rare cases the player ship could have been placed inside the Ilitza starport model when entering the encounter from a specific angle. Fixed.
- In rare cases the player got stuck in the Cueddhaest starport when undocking. Fixed.
- Fixed a hiccup when activating weapons and shooting aliens for the first time

Items:

- When Zoe used an item to scan for locations, the item couldn't be sold anymore.
- When the last crew member died, or the ship got destroyed during a jump, “game over” wasn't always triggered properly which could lead to a zombie ship
- Metal Scrapper spawns uncommon/common resources instead of rare/uncommon

Interface:

- Mission log and end screen log is now scrollable with mouse and right stick
- We had to disable the possibility for own log book entries for now, but we plan to bring it back in an improved form
- Achievement screen scales now in different resolutions and is properly scrollable
- Ship and Lander Details in the ship menu are now positioned near the selected device and also work in 4:3 resolutions
- Resource Icons are no longer shown when ship menu is open
- When an alien got bored by bad trade offers, re-entering the trade menu could lead to different issues. Fixed.

Quest:

- Quest "Unfriendly Competition" could lead to an endless interception in some rare cases and could lead to an unwanted diplomacy loss.
- Stowaways are now discovered when player is scanned by Logos. Previously you had to discover them to hand them over, confusing players.
- The Logos Case File Quests could lead to unwanted chains of diplomacy changes
- Intercepting a Marauder could cause some unwanted chains of interception afterwards
- Meorcl criminals are now affected by the psychic blocker
- Meorcl cargo scans don’t take away the DNA sampler anymore
- Fixed several re-docking problems in several quests (eg. when healing Kirsten)
- Fixed some cases where ships would intercept endlessly without any purpose. If you still encounter this behaviour we would be very grateful for any savegames that exhibit this bug.
- Removed a secret encounter from last badland sector - but be careful, there are still dark things awaiting in quiet sectors!
- Fixed cargo scan behavior of the Logos in hostile mode
- Fixed an issue that could lead to Logos ships with multiple personalities (cargo scan, quest giver, military ship,…)
- Fixed an issue that made plants think the lander was full in some quests
- Tylenium deliveries will no longer send you to hostile gates
- Fixed an issue where a gate could ask for a Tylenium delivery even when the quest hasn't been started
- Fixed some potential issues with aliens turning hostile during cargo scan
- No more Cueddhaest followers after Rapture
- Glukkt mining chief could get stuck in endless dialog mode in rare cases
- Many more small bugfixes…

Finally, we want to thank everybody who has been providing constructive feedback and reports! You are a lovely community. We’re still carefully watching the forums and Discord for your feedback, and are planning an even bigger update in the near future. In particular, we’re looking to improve our mouse/keyboard controls. Join us at http://www.discord.gg/tljh to share your ideas, feedback and bug reports.

Patch 1.4.030.r (12 June 2017)

- added the Linux version of Party Hard to everyone's accounts.
- An old main menu background (that really tied the game together) is gone. Devs say they replaced it because it had caused the game to go all blackscreen sometimes. I believe them.

- Devs say they have moved from one place where people hang out under the rain to another place where cars drive by all the time at low framerate. As far as this statement goes, I doubt they're telling the truth. I smell some kind of... something.
- Local co-op is now unavailable for those who haven't beat the tutorial. Sounds too cruel to me. It's like not allowing people who listen to Nickelback to reproduce. Wait...
- Fonts in main menu have been improved. Now their shadows display the way they should and don't switch layers, but... There had been something about the old buggy fonts that I just can't forget. Call me retrograde as much as you want.
- Sometimes in order to quit the game you had to hover and click the "QUIT" button twice. Devs have fixed this to "save your precious time". I think they shouldn't have. Because it had taught you how not to be a puny quitter. But hey, who listens to me anyway...

X3: Terran War Pack:

#### Update (12 June 2017)

* fixed the Russian version of the game. It should now have all of the version 3.3 Russian localization fixes in effect.

Patch 1.23 (12 June 2017)

- Hi, we just made a new build of Production Line available. This takes the game to build 1.23. here is a full change list:

- 1) [GUI] Research button now pulses red if there is currently no research set.
- 2) [GFX] Changes to sunroof visuals so they leave the roof edge in place.
- 3) [Feature] Reversing Camera and TACC upgrades both now require a new 'camera' component.
- 4) [Bug] Loans can now never be negative, nor offered unless company estimated worth is at least $100k.
- 5) [Feature] Cars are now sold and priced in four different price-categories, with corresponding GUI changes.
- 6) [Feature] New features tab on the finance screen shows information on how popular each feature is at each price category.
- 7) [Bug] Fixed crash bug when deleting a slot while its configure imports window is open.
- 8) [GUI] Save game dialog now has a close button.
- 9) [GUI] It is now no longer possible to keep the conveyor placement GUI active after you hit the bulldozer button.
- 10) [Balances] Changes to the research times and value of some items.
- 11) [Tutorial] Added some extra explanatory tutorial windows and highlights.
- 12) [Bug] Bad conveyor message now no longer shows incorrectly with production slots.
- 13) [Bug] Fixed crash bug if quitting to main menu when cars with multiple features were in the showroom, then starting a new game, and autosave happening.
- 14) [Bug] Resources are no longer consumed for upgrades that are not selected for the current vehicle.
- 15) [Feature] Added new car feature & researchable technology: Touchscreen Interface.
- 16) [Feature] Added multi-language support.[/list]

- The big changes here are the pricing model, where we now have price categories, and availability of research being different for each category, plus (in the long run) support for translations. At some point (hopefully tomorrow) I'll be doing a new steam guide explaining how the game will handle translated text, and its pretty simple to do, so hopefully if any members of the community are bilingual and able to help with translating the game, we can get support for other languages in there. It will probably make sense to have a separate forum for discussing language stuff too.

- Interested to know what people think about the price-category changes. This is only phase one of 'fixing' the sales model, as right now potential customers have no defined income and thus the sales demand for every category (and body style) is the same. that will change.

- Improved the info you get when scanning a ship (more info is displayed).
- It is no longer possible to use the Starchart via shortcuts while a dialogue panel is open.
- Changed storyline level requirements.
- Fixed a number of typos in the English text files. Another thanks goes to Misunderstood Wookie!
- When editing a text (naming your captain for example), press + hold of the backspace now works as it does in any other Windows program.
