Najciekawsze materiały do: X Rebirth

Egosoft ogłosił listę zmian. Zobaczymy co z tego wyjdzie.

http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=352790

Hello,

today I want to give an update on our latest progress and an overview of what we are going to work on in the near future. I am sorry that I can not reply to every complaint and report.

Immediate work:

Priority #1: Fixing crashes
Right now we are still getting a lot of crash reports. We believe that we already have fixed the most common ones with the updates 1.13 to 1.15 but there are still crashes that are caused by the game code and it goes without saying that fixing these has the highest priority.

Priority #1: Improving performance
We are at work on a number of problems that cause the performance to drop to unusually low framerates. Some of these are very specific to certain situations only, while others slow the game down on specific configurations of hardware. Right now we are looking at where we can make fast improvements that will help as many people as possible achieve a better framerate and then we will work our way down to the more specific cases. Just to give you an idea of how crazy the measurements sometimes are: I have seen a very busy zone of the game today on a laptop with Intel HD4000 acceleration (an onboard integrated 3D accelerator which is not really inside the min specs of our game) achieving 10 fps at minimum graphics settings. This is not much of course, but I was surprised that it did run at all on that machine. At the same time I saw a YouTube video where somebody demonstrated performance problems in a very similar zone and also with minimum settings, achieving almost the same FPS, but this time running on a high-end PC with GT780 card. Clearly we have to focus on improving our performance on higher end machines. Another example of performance problems are machines with multiple GPUs, like laptops that have an integrated GPU and a second faster one. In some cases X Rebirth lists only the integrated GPU on these machines and this makes the game run extremely slow. One possible fix for one type of driver was already added to 1.15, but we continue to investigate this problem too.

Priority #1: Fixing gameplay showstoppers
There are unfortunately several areas of the game where gameplay features are not working as intended. In some situations these even block the plot (which makes an already bad bug a total showstopper bug for us). I am just listing them here because it is beyond the scope of this posting to explain trigger conditions and exceptions as well. But let me just say that not all bugs affect all customers and many can be worked around even if they happen. But please do not take this the wrong way, this is not an excuse: We are aware that bugs of this category are always very fustrating to everybody affected by them and you should not be forced to search for a workaround online to play our game. We are really sorry for problems of this nature.
- Trade ships that stop reacting to orders (this is not one bug but a number of special cases that all lead to the same result)
- Problems with repairing ships including a very common case where certain transporter ships that cannot be repaired after they were captured (small "non capital" ships with modular engines where you cannot place an engineer to do emergency repairs)

Priority #2: Adding small but important features that are requested by many of you

- Adding support to delete the order queue of ships (partially done already)
- Improving joystick configuration
- Adding fixed target mode (t/e from X3) as alternative to soft targets.
- Fixing character animation errors (work in progress)
- Giving you a choice of NPCs with good known skills after "winning" a smalltalk (so the reward is no longer random)
- Crates on platforms will be re-balanced
- Improve readability of menus
- Improve how NPCs are labeled to make it clearer who does what
- Improve the "asking for people" conversation
- Adding a logbook menu
- Autosave support (work in progress)
- Improve feedback when NPC can not be hired (e.g. ship is full / NPC is busy)
- Adding some crucial commands to captain and pilot conversations
- Ship trader does not clearly show if he is busy - shipyard busy output
- Showing minimap (gravidar) on event monitor instead of "no signal"
- Option to modify FOV (limited to a small range at first, maybe more freedom later)
- Unbinding a key to nothing
- Fix bug that sometimes you see negative cargo amounts

There are a lot more requests for this list and I will update it ASAP. Some people on the team are already working on #2 priority things.

Priority #3

AFTER all of the above are done (and these lists are probably not complete), we want to start discussing with you which bigger features we should work on first. You may know some of the candidates which had been mentioned in interviews before the release, like turning your head in the cockpit, external camera views, improved map features etc. We have a long list of things that we would like to add, but we want to listen to you and let you decide about the priorities. Before it makes any sense to discuss this in any more detail however, we have to fix all of the above.

I will post an update next week in this thread and inform you about our progress. In the meantime I can only thank you all and repeat my apology to everybody who does not yet have a good experience in the game.

malyn - Co do sprzedania gry na konsole. Wiedząc ile oni błędów robią przy każdej grze to wcale bym się nie zdziwił gdyby to było problemem ze nie weszli na rynek konsol. Sam wiesz jakiej jakości oni gry wypuszczają. ;) Co do restartu to pewnie masz racje. Dlatego staram się informacje na bieżąco umieszczać. Skoro utopili tyle kasy w silnik to trzeba coś z tym zrobić. A że nabili fanów w butelkę, to mam nadzieję że w końcu na nich się zemści. Ale zobacz ilu jest ludzi po ich stronie, dla nich nie ważna ilość błędów bo im można to wybaczyć. Patrzyłeś na statystyki steam? 870 graczy poleciło te grę. Szok, za co? Za to ze im zapłaciliśmy że możemy im grę przetestować? Wcześniej to studia zatrudniało testerów, teraz o my im płacimy za testowanie. :/
Nowi gracze, to nie dla nich takie gry złożone. Obecne społeczeństwo graczy chce: ładnej grafiki, duzo akcji i jak najmniej myślenia. To oni są obecnie targetem wydawców. Nie uznaję czegoś takiego: co jest lepsze konsola czy PC. Obydwie te platformy są skierowane do całkiem innych graczy, gdyż każda z nich w czym innym się specjalizuje. Szkoda że to nie dotarło do dystrybutorów gier. :/
Co do polityki Ego dotyczącej tej gry. Ciekawe kiedy wydadzą DLC, zobacz że masz nawet menu pod to już przygotowane. Gra jest jaka jest, Skoro nie mam na nia wpływu to chcę ja skończyć. Czy mnie wciągnie tego nie wiem, mam jeszcze kilka gier tego typu w kolejce wiec będę miał czas w nie pograć: Evochron Mercenary, Starpoint Gemini 2.

Katon78: Ilość raczej nie gra roli, ja miałem powyżej 100. Zobacz czy jest statek w sektorze, jeśli jest to dokowanie trochę trwa. Bug też możliwy jak pisze Ychu.

coś w rodzaju poradnika do patcha 2.0
http://steamcommunity.com//sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=254121025
pokazuje wszystkie najważniejsze zmiany

lepiej, handlu jeszcze nie rozgryzłem. Mam obecnie mniej czasu. ogólnie mam wrażenie ze ta częśc jest bardziej na walkę nastawiona i ciężko cos tutaj bedzie zmienić. Pomimo patcha to jednak mało osób gra, bo nawet forum EGO i Mamut ucichły.

ja używam tych modów ze stema

TAF! - Trade Agent Forever
This little crappy mod allows you to hire trade agents, which monitor station prices, without Smalltalk and directly from space !
HUGE timesaver, and freakless station monitoring !
Please note :
The dialog is only available for fix traders (i.e. not engineers nor specialists)
If the dialog option is greyed out, that's because you already have a trade agent on this station.
New in 1.1 :
Hire a trade agent will now cost you 80.000 credits.
If you don't have such money, you will not be able to confirm the deal (the option will be greyed out).

Pierwsze DLC, za darmo do 1 listopada. Co po tym terminie to jeszcze nie wiadomo.

"This expansion offers you exciting new content, such as an independent storyline and a whole new star system containing two unique sectors. Here you can find a massive new space station belonging to the Teladi, harbouring not only numerous factories but also a wealth of new Teladi ships.

These new areas also contain hazardous regions and new groups of smugglers and pirates that offer you countless opportunities, as well as new weapons and equipment for the Albion Skunk."

Skrót z forum Ego.
"Together with the general availability of Update 2.50 for X Rebirth, which will be released soon, bringing a new menu system, external camera, new small shipyards and many other improvements, we are happy to announce today the DLC - X Rebirth: The Teladi Outpost - coming in December 2014:

Showing the X-Series in a whole new light. "X Rebirth: The Teladi Outpost" contains version 3.0 of X Rebirth and the brand new expansion The Teladi Outpost. This expansion offers the player exciting new content, such as an independent storyline and a whole new star system containing two unique sectors. Here the player can find a massive new space station belonging to the Teladi, harbouring not only numerous factories but also a wealth of new Teladi ships.

These new areas also contain hazardous regions and new groups of smugglers and pirates that offer the player countless opportunities, as well as new weapons and equipment for the Albion Skunk.

Until 1st November, preordering this DLC will be free for all owners of X Rebirth.

To answer some of the inevitable questions about this announcement:

What's in 2.50 and when can I get it?

• Version 2.50 of X Rebirth is available soon.
• For a list of features and fixes see the Patch Notes.
• Your game will be update automatically unless you have disabled this feature in the Steam client.

• Version 3.0 of X Rebirth will be released in December.
• It will include new gameplay features, which we will announce later, along with more fixes and general improvements.
• It will be released as a standard Steam update to all owners of X Rebirth, just like previous patches.

And the expansion?

• The expansion, The Teladi Outpost, will be released at the same time as Version 3.0.
• It will include new content such as new areas of space, new storyline missions, new factions, new ships, and so on.
• If you already own X Rebirth, or you buy it before the 1st November, then you can pre-order the expansion free on Steam up until that date."
