Egosoft X4 announcement and presentation.

love how fast these patches are coming out. Maybe pick this up in January.
Does it run in windowed mode OK?

Does it run in windowed mode OK?

I'm not a savage, I don't run anything in windowed mode :p :p
I don't know what the performance is like in Windowed mode.
 
You should run everything in fullscreen windowed when you can. It is more stable than fullscreen, with almost all of the benefits of both.
 
oh, if I'm just straight up gaming I'm always full screen.
But it's been my experience that X games can be enjoyed in the background too.
(e.g. while doing other things, have X running and make adjustments to your auto traders as needed).
 
So is this game fun?
It can be pretty and get a billion FPS with max graphics, but will it put a smile on my nerdface?

still waiting till it get a patch or two more

but it looks like it will be fun
just looking around the first station and getting the settings right so far


it also looks like one that can take over your life like a lot of space trading games

Ah, I so share your considerations. Still walking around, taking off and landing, getting a feel for the world and the controls while waiting for a couple more patches ;)

Only gripes so far: I've seen the same three npc's everywhere with only slight variations, facial animations are cringe-worthy (egosoft's characters have always looked kinda funky), and I wish I could disable the highlight effect where entire portions of space stations turn blue.

Some of the ship models are :drool:
