We are pleased to announce that Steam Cloud support is now enabled for all games in the X series, to bring the older games in line with X Rebirth.

Your savegames will now be synchronised across different PCs using the same Steam account by default.

If you do not wish to use Steam Cloud to synchronise your games, then right-click on the game in question in the Steam library, choose Properties, go to the Updates tab and uncheck the "Enable Steam Cloud synchronization" checkbox setting.

You can, of course, re-enable it at any time if you change your mind.

Regards,

Egosoft

The Bonus Package for X3: Albion Prelude has just been released on Steam. It's a free collection of script plugins that have been created by members of the Egosoft forum community. Egosoft has selected them as extensions that fit well into, and do not destroy, the balance of the game. To access the bonus content, simply install it from the store page. The Bonus Package will also show up in the DLC tab of the game properties, where you have the option to uninstall it.

If you have previously installed the non-Steam version of the Bonus Package, it is recommended that you uninstall it first.

The year is 2013 A.D. The DevNet and Egosoft developers are now entirely working towards the release of X Rebirth. Well, not entirely... One small group of dedicated DevNet volunteers are spending their spare time to improve X3AP. And life is not easy for the few remaining bugs.

In X3AP 3.1 several problems with the Shady Business and Corporation Troubles Plots from Update 3.0 have now been fixed. Also thanks to our DevNet translators the complete French and Chinese translations of the Update 3.0 texts as well the Spanish translation of the Shady Business Plot texts can be provided with this update. A big thank you goes to the translators of the x3tc.ru community, who provided the missing Russian texts.

New Features and Improvements:

- Crash dumps are generated on game crashes
- Updated Chinese, French and Russian localisation files with 3.0 texts
- Updated Spanish localisation files with Shady Business plot texts

Fixes:

- Fixed station invincibility bug
- Fixed joystick not working after Alt+Tab
- Fixed crash in mods when missiles are fired from docked ships
- Several fixes in Corporation Troubles mission:
-- Fixed Talk to <invalid> offer after plot has ended
-- Fixed problem with vanishing mission offer
-- Fixed case where Sergeant to talk to was an "Unknown Object"
-- In the same mission, fixed ability to employ pirate services
- Fixed comm menu issue in Shady Business plot
- Fixed issue with Russian voice samples
- Various text corrections
