X3 Albion Prelude - Merchant Tutorial Problem - No weapons firing.

SeriousSpy · Post by **SeriousSpy** » Tue, 15. Jan 13, 13:29

Basically, I'm trying to go through the tutorial, but when I get to the weapons training, it tells me to press right-click or control, nothing happens when I press this. I have no mods installed, this is my first X game.

I would have posted this in the technical support forum, but apparently I can't for some reason.

The reason you can't post in Tech Support is because, as it says in the forum description, you need to register your game in order to do so. However in this case this is the right place for your post anyway.

At a guess you're doing the tutorial in a ship that doesn't have forward-firing guns. I believe the Boron start puts you in this situation. There are other possible explanations though, so don't be put off if this doesn't match your case.

If you started as Humble Merchant, neither of your ships start with guns.

Ok, thanks for the help guys.
I would register my game, but I bought it through Steam, so I've got no idea how to register it, it didn't have a CD-key on Steam.

Flight school is just there to help familiarize you with basic controls.
It is not a must do mission.

I would get in your TS and do some trading in order to get credits to upgrade both your ships.
When you have some lasers in your Discoverer ,then return to flight school ,if you wish,but you don't need to.

If it's X:TC if you right click it on your steam library it should have a "Register your game..." option.

Nope, no Register Game option.

How do I register my Steam game on the Egosoft forum?

Do I have to install Terran Conflict before this appears, this does not a appear on the Albion Prelude or TC (not installed).

I can provide evidence if needed.

I didn't think it was even possible to install AP without having TC installed first? In any case, you only get the registration code on an installed version of TC.

Ok, thanks for the help. Well, somehow I managed to install AP without TC...
Ah well, I'll register my game when I get around to installing TC.

AP shares some files with TC, and is located in the addon subfolder of the TC install, so I expect you do have TC installed. Steam would've probably done it automatically when you bought and installed AP. Perhaps you just don't have a shortcut to it. Check in your Steam folder.

Ahuh. Ok, there is a TC application in there, it just seems that Steam didn't install it. I'll see if I can start TC.

SeriousSpy · Post by **SeriousSpy** » Wed, 16. Jan 13, 22:51

Alright. So, I installed TC, and it downloaded about 10 bytes of files, and then it was done, so it does seem that it installed TC as well, thanks for the help.

yes seams it installs it, but just does not flag it as such. *shrug*
