How's x4 doing these days? My disappointment with ED and fdev is immeasurable so I'm willing to do anything. I've played x3 years and years ago and bounced off relatively quick because it was a little too much Eve I guess.

anyone know what may be causing this? https://streamable.com/24rm8c i cleaned my audio drivers, tried newest realteks, tried windows defaults, reset my audio quality, updated my videocard drivers the first couple times i ran the game it just didnt have audio at all, after a system restart it just sounds like this. i'm baffled.

Tabletops posted:anyone know what may be causing this? figured it out thanks to a redditer, pointed me to this thread on the official forums https://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?p=5014889#p5014889. I used Grok's sound overhaul for Stalker:Anomaly which changes some settings to openAL, which x4 uses. Apparently makes it all scratchy and poo poo, I tried resetting the settings to default but it was still bad. dropped the bin file from the overhaul in x4's directory, identical to how it's installed for stalker, and it worked again. what a weird, obscure thing that I'm very glad other people figured out.

I did the uhh genesis project? Start and now I’m in some far away quadrant. I got a mission to kill 10 of some pirate faction or zealots or something. I flew around for like an hour looking at stuff and didn’t bump into any. How do I find them? Also is it possible to get my rapier over to where I am? Or is there anything I can do with it over where it is?

i found some lockboxes and i guess some of the stuff is black market or something? it's red in my inventory. but they are worth a lot (security slicers?). where can I go sell them? how do i find a black market station or whatever?

ughhhh posted:The slicers are useful for pirate mission which require you to disable stations services or for your own needs. You craft them in the work bench with mats you find from wreckage and lockboxes. Not really worth it to sell it. Best to find some missions to use it on tho, a disable station service mission is around 300k creds. ah ok. I have like 5000 credits and nothing else really so I was hoping to sell this stuff to make some money so I can uhh do something I guess, maybe buy some mining gear and try that out. I'm in grand exchange 3 right now, do I basically have to wander around blind to find a pirate station?

ughhhh posted:Assumed they were tradable because they were in the trader screen. how much does that cost? I did a mission where i brought down a stations shields and I'm up to 700k now. I'm having trouble finding a ship yard that doesn't only sell giant gently caress off ships though

I think i figured out why I found a million lockboxes in grand exchange 3, I had docked at a station there and was afk for 3 or 4 hours. at some point my extra pilot in the rapier arrived and just sat around. I guess they detect lockboxes once in a while and now there are still like 15 or 20 unopened lock boxes around there hah. I'm guessing maybe they just spawn in when they 'find' one?

so i have enough money to make a luxury dock, and i hired a builder to do it. will the builder go out and purchase stuff for me? I set the budget for the stuff in the building menu and the builder is assigned to it. Do I need to do it myself or can I buy a ship to do it or something?

TheDeadlyShoe posted:I prefer the Eclipse, i like the way it feels and I can do a 2gun x 2launcher configuration. Heavy swarms to slam subsystems and light smarts to quickly down light fighters. what faction are those ships you mentioned? I've mostly been in teladi space and a little in paranid but haven't seen them at any of the wharfs. are they good daily drivers for doing whatever?

I accidentally left the game running basically an entire day when I was playing mh rise I had ~ 6 or 7 miners going in grand exchange. Was going well, they pulled 62k per go and had no problems staying in sector. Got on the pooter this morning and saw I had 55 million and 5 less miners. I guess they got blowed up somewhere. Anyway I kinda feel like just leaving the game running is cheating and I am somewhat tempted to restart

Mister Bates posted:What is the trick to the new missions for Rick Feynmann, specifically Gravimetric Studies? It has you position three ships in specific locations, and then the game tells you 'Long Range Scan now' as your objective. I assumed that meant turn on Long Range Scan mode, so I activated it, and then...nothing. I thought maybe I had to wait, so I walked away from the computer for like 20 minutes and got a snack. Came back, nothing. All three ships are bumping into their respective nav beacons, Long Range Scan mode is on, still nothing. Do I have to be looking at a specific point in the sky? The dialogue does say something about 'being precise'. U gotta press l to scan

anyone have a recommended mod list? edit: was doing one of the opening terran missions (after grabbing the dlc) and was escorting a ship to a station (was like the first mission after the tutorial stuff) that was under attack by 4 xenon destroyers. I don't think that was part of the scripted encouter because none of the voice acting/scripting acknowledged it and both the station and the ship I was escorting blew up. and then me. and now I'm floating out in space with 40k credits and a wingman who wants to go open a lockbox lol. oh 4 destroyers and a battleship lol Tabletops fucked around with this message at 02:11 on Jan 12, 2023 |

Mokotow posted:This is the classic X experience you're getting - a shoddy scripted mission interrupted by the sandbox and/or bugs spilling over. Always good to save save save. yeah i increased the frequency of the autosaves a bit later. but it wasn't till i had another issue, where my ship was just... exploding. for no discernable reason. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6J095v2fKvY i even posted it on the egosoft discord and no one knew wtf edit: oh this was a problem because i hadn't changed the autosave frequency yet, and I was only using the quicksave (assumed it made multiple quicksaves and didn't overwrite 1) ended up having to restart that too since I was basically in a loop.

Shrimp or Shrimps posted:Late game X4 heavily modded (VRO + about 20 other things) definitely slows down to a crawl. Like 40fps with a 3080/12600k, especially on the map screen. Iirc it's very responsive to fast ram and high cpu clocks, and is also largely capped by single thread performance. It basically was not playable on my laptop which has a 7700hq and 2400 ram. drat i get like 20 fps on the map with a 12700k and 3080. it's loving rough.

been trying desperately to figure out what all the modifications do to different weapon types. like what the gently caress does reload time do to meson beams? why does it give like 50% more listed sustained DPS? why doesn't cooling seem to do anything at all? edit: also why are exceptional mods besides nanoweaves (which drop from nearly every BUC ship) loving impossible to get? having to leave an area for 30 minutes or save/reload and poo poo to get a new set of missions from the teladi trade guild to get a 1 in 20 chance to have a exceptional ship mod reward is so loving tedious Tabletops fucked around with this message at 23:18 on Jan 26, 2023 |

ZombyDog posted:If you're not adverse to running mods to make your mods better, I run a few specific mods ( works in Beta 6.0, but will count your game as modified if that's important for you ) ohh thank you. first and second one are pretty enticing, third is also but i feel like the drop rate of components is too high for it to really matter other than just being simpler/less time consuming i guess

TheDeadlyShoe posted:honestly x4's map is its biggest problem. 95% of players wouldn't notice the invulnerable teladi station if it wasn't camping a xenon jump. is it possible to mod/replace them with a different type of station that isn't invulnerable? i remember being really disappointed that I couldn't build one of those stations myself actually. didn't know they were invulnerable. just wanted a cool looking station: (

i've yet to have a campaign where the xenon did much of anything, even against the split. wonder why. Even with some of the mods that buff xenon aggression and stuff.
