|
|
|
 |
While Update 2.7 was very well received by our gaming community, a small bug causing one of the plots to stall (Operation Final Fury) was noted by a number of users. We have fixed that particular issue and took the opportunity to sort out a couple of others too. We hope that this small issue hasn't spoiled your enjoyment of the game. We're very pleased then to be able to offer this hotfix, version 2.7.1, to address that and some other issues.

X3: Reunion for Mac OS Re-released |
|
|
|
|
EGOSOFT is very pleased to announce that Virtual Programming Ltd, its Mac OS programming partner, is re-releasing X3: Reunion. VP Ltd have painstakingly re-written the game code, not using Cider this time, bringing it up-to-date with the latest version of the game. The good news for gamers that had already purchased X3: Reunion for the Mac, is that they will get this new version of the game for FREE!
EGOSOFT Managing Director, Bernd Lehahn, said about the release, "We are excited that VP ported the game a second time to improve the experience for our MAC customers and bring it to the same level as Terran Conflict."
"We weren't happy with X3: Reunion's performance when using Cider, and it turned out many of our customers weren't either," said Virtual Programming CEO Mark Hinton. "As a gesture of goodwill, we re-engineered the game as a native port that's a free update for existing customers. Starting today, new X3: Reunion customers will receive the non-Cider version of the game." ... read more... |

It seems like a very long time indeed since Terran Conflict Update 2.5 arrived and for hard-core players of the game it's probably been too long! Don't worry though - the wait is now over and we can assure you that your patience will be rewarded. Every time we thought we were ready to release Update 2.6, another feature came along which was too irresistable to leave out.
Update 2.6 features the long-awaited New Home missions, which promises to be quite an adventure for those who like their THINK missions. This project has been developed by members of our own community and after a period of testing and evaluation is ready to be shared with the wider Terran Conflict-playing world.... read more... |
