Any chance bugs will be patched?

[carv85x]

I love this game and put sooo many hours into it, I wish I could play it forever. Sadly, my unmodified game got to a point where it inevitably freezes with no way to recover.

I tried playing around with the video settings, updating my graphics card, resetting all ship commands and nothing has helped.

I tried moving on and playing X4 and just couldn't get into it. I like to play with the official patch only so I can get achievements, but I even tried the unofficial patch and the game still freezes. I lost all hope.

Is there any chance devs will ever try to fix this game?

EDIT - Seems this bug might be related to carrier software issue. After sending an m3 to repair in HQ and as soon as it returns to the M1 and the command reads "none", the game freezes.

Try one of your autosaves.

I'm on day 104 and have no issues.

I tested your theory. It did not happen to me. The only thing of note that happened, was when the fighter returned to the carrier it did not have an M for managed next to it. I did not experience a freeze.

Just a note: if you need someone to see your edit, best to reply instead of editing it after as it might not get seen. That way the website pings those watching your thread / question. Just a friendly note.

Sadly, freezes like that can happen with any script that is broken. I've done it on accident while trying to create my own scripts. Make a command that has an endless loop in it on accident, ffffff.rrreezzbrrrt...

Any patches are likely to be unofficial ones only. Devs are focused on X4 completely. Any official ones aren't likely to happen while they are focused on it. As for your circumstance, it can be chalked up to a bad script, unofficial patch if your using it, (see Cycrow if that is the case). In which ask this question in the modding / scripting section.

If running version 1.3 like us holdouts, work around is a drone frigate, or try running the repair option from Steam. Long shot that last one, but only other thought I got is to uninstall / reinstall the game. (Least desirable option I know). Could also check your hardware specs versus the recommended which should be on the main page here, or on Steam.

Edit*** Sorry for the 8 month later reply.

hello,
i can confirm unmodifed vanilla version explicitly has a bug which will sooner or later appear where the game freezes reproducible. its caused by random name generation for merchants. its fixed in cycrow patch. however i cannot say whether a certain freeze is caused by same cause.
