Hell I did that in all ways possible and the site returns the same message , tried to find it on other sites but no success .. Someone can help please.

2). How to unlock aldrin adventurer plot? Does it unlock php too??

Hello, I'm not sure but I think there is only one official way to update the game, which is to allow Steam to update it. Steam should automatically update the game unless we prevent it from doing so. However, if there is another way to update from the site, then I think you should enter the registration code in your egosoft account then try downloading the 3.0 update again.

As for the aldrin adventurer plot, is it a plot or a game start?! and I presume you meant phq rather than php, then see this link for info on how to start the PHQ plot. Smile

It does not matter what we were in the past but what we are now, what we do and what we are going to be, our destiny.

From a spreadsheet for TC might have other requirements in AP
"Prerequisites            
Terran Plot Completed    "Battle Master"        Argon "Federal Marshal"
"
Erm..pasting from an excel sheet..don't do it. but that's reqs as they were for TC at least.

Yes, log on steam and make sure steam is allowed to automatically update games for you. I don't like steam and I barely use it, I'm not sure how to control the update process.

And for the 'aldrin adventurer', sorry I don't know how to unlock it, but be aware that this game-start is a terran gamestart like the 'terran commander' start, that means you can play Operation Loose Ends but not Albion Prelude Plot, HUB and PHQ plots, see the link I provided in the previous post for more info.

Hi, well the only way to update X3AP to v3.0 is via steam - I am not sure where you are finding a patch for X3AP on egosoft site (I cant see one). Steam should update X3AP automatically unless you turned off automatic updates (right click on it and check). On the start-up screen what version does it say?

AP is only distributed through Steam and updates through steam. There is no manual patch for AP. There is a nosteam.exe. But to download it you have to register your game on the egosoft site before you are allowed to access it. It is just a replacement for the .exe that allows it to run without starting Steam. It is not an update/content patch.

Make it verify cache files. By right clicking on it in your library -> properties, on the "Local Files" tab hit "Verify Integrity of game cache". By registering your game I mean adding your key to your Egosoft profile from X3 Terran Conflict then you will have access to all the bonus material on the site.

Man, you said you downloaded ap on torrent. Steam should provide you with the key and update the game when you purchase AP, didn't you know that? there maybe some shady torrent out there that update the game to 3.0?

Yep it is provided through Steam, or if you have the retail box version of Terran Conflict you can use that key as well. To make your Terran Conflict key show up, IIRC you have to install it first then there should be an option when you right click on the game in Steam to show the key.

Well if you havnt purchase X3AP like all the others, then we can not help you as this supports illegal activities. For the amount of hours of game-play you get, its well worth it. With a purchased copy you get none of these problems, as the game is automatically updated, and nor do you need the non-steam exe. Not long ago x3ap was on the humble-bundle deal, which you could of got for a faction of the normal price. sorry, but ill have to lock the thread.
