Release Date  :  o7-17-2oo4               Protection   :  SecuROM
File Count    :  2x5mb                    Game Genre   :  SpaceSim

Release Notes:

This patch is for X2 - The Threat and updates version 1.2 or 1.3 to 1.4.
If you do not have 1.2 or 1.3 installed, you need to apply the update to
1.2 first.

This self extracting archive must be extracted to the installation
folder of X2-The Threat so it can overwrite the files installed on your
PC.

For details on the patch and further information please visit the
www.egosoft.com online community and see the Readme1.4.rtf document.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

The first time you load an old savegame, it will have to be converted.
This can take a much longer time than normal loading. This is only a one
time effect. Save again and the loading time will be normal again.

Enjoy your stay in the X universe!

Update 1.4 Feature list:

IMPORTANT NOTES:

* There are several versions of this update for different language and
country versions. To make sure you always get the right version of the
update, you have to register on our website using the online
registration key of your product. Registration will also give you access
to additional download content.

* This update requires version 1.2 or 1.3 to be already installed. Only
older Australian and North American (US and Canada) versions can contain
versions below 1.2. All European versions are 1.2 or 1.3 from the start.

* Boron Manta and Teladi Toucan TP ships now have the transport class L
and thus cannot transport XL goods any more. As a compensation all TS
ships have been given more cargo space and maximum speed. If you still
have TP ships in your fleet which carry XL goods (e.g. Ore) you will
still be able to sell, move and eject them in v1.4.

* The first time you load an old 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 or 1.3 savegame, it will
have to be converted. This can take a much longer time than normal
loading. This is only a one time effect. Save again and the loading time
will be normal again.

IMPROVEMENTS OVER 1.3:

* Artificial Life Engine: AL plugins add atmosphere and life to the X
Universe. AL settings can be changed in the Options menu. Existing
plugins:
- President's End Task Force
- Race Patrol
- TP Liners
* Trading docks and Equipment docks can be bought at shipyards! You can
run them like a factory. Goods are added by moving them to the station.
Note that you can set only one price for each ware.
* The collision avoidance has been improved along with the AI in
general.
* Advanced players will be able to capture and pilot Khaak ships.
* Escort ships now have smoother, more consistent speed
* Defend against massive Xenon invasions in a new BBS mission.
* Many new filters and additional information in the "Property Owned"
menu, and you can jump to the Adjust Station Parameters directly by
pressing 'D'.
* Suggested minimum product selling price available in the "Adjust
Station Parameters" menu.
* Fewer notifications about enemy attacks on player property.
* Be aware of laser towers! They are much stronger and smarter now.
* Player-owned ships will not leave their homebase jump radius any
longer.
* The station information menu now shows you the required resources per
production cycle of your factories.
* The Command Console is available in stations, too. Scripters can
create new station and ship commands, similar to the ship turret
commands (no flight commands).
* Announcements in stations and the eject (Shift+E) confirmation can be
disabled in the Options menu.
* Software (including Best Buys and Best Selling Price Locators), Engine
Tunings, Rudder Optimizations and Cargo Bay Extensions will not be
destroyed any more during fights.
* Police licences will no longer be lost when a 'stray shot' hits a
friendly ship.

BUGFIX:

* FIXED: Several rare crashes
* FIXED: Game could freeze when player died
* FIXED: Using a joystick with a throttle could make the cockpit judder
a lot
* FIXED: Memory leak which caused big savegames
* FIXED: Sectors in the galaxy map could have green borders although the
player has no property there.
* FIXED: Various BBS missions updated, specifically no more negative
rewards
* FIXED: Some missing goods have been added to several Equipment Docks
* FIXED: Ships could not dock at the Xenon K
* FIXED: H did not open the help menu
* FIXED: Shift-J skipped the jump countdown instead of aborting it
* FIXED: Releasing the Shift key when typing in input menus could cause
double characters
* FIXED: Large ships were not shown correctly in warp tunnels
* FIXED: Using the parameter -noabout messed up copy protection
(nevertheless using -noabout is still not recommended).
* FIXED: The main story could get stuck before the mission in Omicron
Lyrae.
* FIXED: Sometimes the gravidar was not shown correctly when starting a
new game or tutorial.
