Updates without Steam Access ?

Post by blazermick » Sat, 21. Dec 13, 05:45

Hi Folks

Is there anywhere i can get the updates without involving steam ?

Apparently a latest update makes a 04 cat/dat and i would like to be as up to date as possible.

Steam cannot be used as they cannot get it working for me .. yes its their end (confirmed in writing), so how do i find the updates ?

Any info or directions are appreciated.

Thanks

I do not find it hard to believe at all.

However, I also do not think that there is another legitimate way to get updates for AP. If there were, then many people would use it.

Very true, extremely frustrating considering i have some old collectibles from there that cant be used without steam.

Luckily my experience with X series games is to keep a separate master file and update accordingly. Thankfully EGO released a non steam patch which makes it easily achievable without needing steam ... except for updates :headbang:

I have over 43 support emails (counted), a number of apologies and no answer to this dilema.

My TC_Ap is vers 2.5.2

Note: I am currently running 7 individual AP Mod games (own files) with 100's of working scripts in them (havent needed to update to make them work) & 6 TC Mod games.

However with the latest mod release i need Ap 3.0 or above.

Can anyone send me a "addon" basic updated to 3.1 ?? Actually, am i allowed to ask that in here ? hehe sorry moderators in advance.

I know of no other way to update my AP past 2.5.2 otherwise (unless EGO has some suggestions)

Is it an issue with the computer your using, such that you could use another computer? If so you could update it on another computer with your steam account, then copy it wholesale. I've done it with Fallout New Vegas when I could only access internet fast enough from the Library.

Best thing to do is copy all your modded files/folders to a new folder(s).

Delete TC-AP from the Steam area. (thru Steam)

Reload the entire thing from scratch thru Steam.

Save the new addon folder in a safe place so when and if there is a new update then you can go back to that and update.

Sir.. I said .. A guy attacking a J with a kestrel is the sandwitch.

There is no other way of updating X3AP than through Steam. If you have technial problems with Steam than it would actually be nice, if you would state what the actual problem is and what you have done already to solve it or what the Steam support already suggested to do.
In any way, the Scripts and Modding forum is not the correct place for Technical Support. Register your game in your forum profile (FAQ) and either repost in the X3TC/AP Technical Support Forum with all the required information or ask a moderator via PM to move this topic for you.
