Minor issue, but I would like the choice to keep hyperspace movie.
It pulls me out of the game when the hyperspace cutscene jump-cuts to the next sector. I know this is a small problem when compared to the rest here and it may seem like I am looking a gifthorse in the mouth.
I like to feel I am in the game, and the sudden black screen just pulls me out of it. I understand that people disable it anyway, but I bet they don't disable it until they have seen it 20 or 30 times. If it was allready produced and is easy to give us the choice of turning off, add it back in. Also, I spent a long time searching through this forum for this answer because the Extra Search function is broken. Might have been nice to mention this small omission in the readme file or in the manual. If it is there then I missed it.
Other than that, it is a great game that runs like butter on my athlon 64 with 1 gb ram and 6600gt (1600-1200 all settings maxed) Sometimes my throttle will engage when I am sitting still (it's like the computer seems to go, "Oh no, his throttle is on" out of nowhere and I run right into stations thus blowing up). Since this only happens if I forget to return the throttle to 0 during any autopilot procedure, I view this as more my fault than yours).
For some reason, you stuck a story in this beutiful "sandbox" game, but since it is easily bypassed, or ignored, I can forgive that. I can't wait to see the mods and bonus add-ons to come.
Thanks.

Where Is My Warp Tunnel
Whenever I warp I get no animation. Just a total black screen until the next sector loads. It makes no difference where I am warping to or from, it always happens without fail.. Anyone else have the same problem?

Vote on wheather you want the option to turn on Warp Animation.
I know this doesn't seem important, but along the lines of emersion, it is.
To clarify, just the option to enable it, not having it enabled from the beginning.
Edit: I wanted to ask for a small loading screen so that we don't have to stare at an ugly black screen. You know, a picture of a ship in hyperspace, a warp effect, the developers laughing at us, a naked lady . . . SOMETHING!!
Ooops. . . lost control for a second there.
Thanks.

This issue has been brought up again and again. The lack of advanced search function is causing it to reappear with startling regularity.
here is a link to the most recent thread. http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=104546

They're all combining into one entity. I think it will take over the forum and crush those that oppose it. All hail the "missing warp animation" topic.
We are the "missing warp animation" topic.
Discussion is irrellevant.
Resistance is futile.
You will be one with the topic .
Emericol added for no fathomable reason:
Scientist: Look, these topics, they are combining. . .
Red Shirted fellow scientist: I think they are alive. They have acheived independant thought.
Scientist: That's funny, there wasn't any thought in them when they were first posted . . .
Red Shirted fellow scientist dies for now reason. . . And so will this topic some day.

The other major topic related to the same issue is 2 pages away. Is it really too hard for you to post your opinion in the previous topic instead of spamming the board ?
Or maybe they won't even see this topic because it'll be going to page 10 in a few hours 'cause of a ton of other "Ore Mine (spoiler)" or "Frame Rates" spam threads ?
nah, let em keep it up, maybe egosoft will get fed up then give us what we want.

Groundhogday anyone?
I thought this to be a minor yet irritating flaw in X3. But now I think Egosoft has to make fixing the warp tunnel a priority one., just to relase the forum from groundhogday.

That is just a pre-rendered movie file playing - 00800.dat in the mov folder.Slugworm X wrote:You noticed the warp tunnel effect in the X on the main load page didnt you????
Quite nifty, wot....
The X2 jump sequences (and X3 also) were rendered in-game.
