Question to Egosoft:
[Beta 2] Added new multi-tiered fight music tracks.
Will the new music tracks be added to soundtrack DLCs?

Re: 5.00 Beta 2 now available
The new tracks are really refreshing and good, it puts me in a "fight mode" for sure!
It's also nice that the combat track ends right away when the fight is over.

New week, new beta! X4: Foundations 5.00 Beta 3 is now available to download, bringing further additions and fixes to the game. The complete changelog for 5.00 Beta 3 can be found in our forum.
This week, we'd especially like to draw your attention to the new player office, which was introduced in the first 5.00 beta. We've received a lot of feedback on this over the past few weeks and, based on that feedback, we've taken it up a notch by allowing you to use SETA while sitting in your office or standing at a terminal. We look forward to seeing how you like this new opportunity!

However tested tonight 5.0 beta 3 with the new AMD 22.2.1 which enables Vulkan 1.3 and got over 30% more FPS on a very heavy GPU benchmark we use here
viewtopic.php?f=146&t=441417
With just MSAA 2x the FPS jumped over 40%, had to use the AMD chill to limit it to 143fps so it won't go over the Freesync range.
Is this perf increase related to improvements of the game or just the Vulkan 1.3 new streamlined processes?
Re: 5.00 Beta 3 now available
FPS got a general boost (I've a nvidia RTX 3060). But we are still in beta phase - so this might still change. Guess that's why it isn't part of the "marketing speech" yet.

Re: 5.00 Beta 3 now available
We never stop working on performance improvements, but I'm not aware of any changes to the game in this beta that would provide the kind of major increase you're describing there.
Re: 5.00 Beta 3 now available
I did test the game, rolling back to 4.2 with 22.2.1 FPS was back to 80 on the test, and 109 with 5.0b3.
Unfortunately didn't test with 5.0 beta 1 & 2 to know when the changes occured.
I do not know if this perf boost exists with 22.1.1 and 5.0b3 or is a combination of the Vulkan 1.3 streamilined pipeline and perf improvements with 5.0.

Re: 5.00 Beta 3 now available
No you have to activate it.
If you query about my posts are without FSR.
Re: 5.00 Beta 3 now available
On GeforceNows "2080"s I get merely single digit FPS on stations with the Beta. Occasional low FPS were okay in the past because it was still smooth but now it is more like 7 Frames are rendered in 1/10 of a second but the 8th frame takes 9/10 of a second to render, or in other words: Noticeable stutter.
Activating FSR helps a lot and puts it back to above 20 FPS.
So I can't confirm performance improvements on my end. Graphics settings are maxed+SSR.

Re: 5.00 Beta 4 now available
I have been playing 5.00 beta 3 on Steam, and today Steam has updated this to 5.00 Beta 4.
Upon opening the game, I see the warning "Modified game detected" and at the top right where it says "Version: 5.00 Beta (471877)", it says "(modified)" right below.
Is this to be expected when playing a beta? If not, what can I do to solve this? The message warns that if I save any games with a "modified" game, the saves will be forever marked as modified. Would rather avoid if possible.
This was a fresh install originally of 5.00 beta 3, and I definitely do not have any mods installed.
It also appears I can not roll back to 5.00 beta 3 via steam anymore - it has been removed?
