X3AP v2.0 information

Friday 17th February, 2012 · Posted by Roguey · 3 comments

Here's a little summary of next patch due called v2.0. Most of the information on v2.0 has been available for awhile, but its scrap-bits - here and there. So I thought it would be nice to put it all together.

Version 2.0 is going to major update, which will see the return of Hub (gate-changer station) and the player HQ. Both of these will require some kind-of mission(s) to unlock. However being major update, im sure we see some more content and fixes/re-balances. Its been hinted there will be new missions and content to play.

The DVD release will have v2.0 on the disk, and mean that v2.0 will be released near-by. Albion Prelude will be released on the X3: Terran War Pack which will include X3TC, X3AP and a sound-track. This release is set to be in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, Italy, Spain, UK, the Nordics and Benelux states. The Terran War pack looks set to be released at 9th March 2012 (in the UK), although the X-News says on the 24th Feb. The DVD release will require steam to play. However with Steam version, we may see v2.0 very soon - I reckon near the end of the month.

A little after there will be an non-steam exe of 2.0, which will require you to register your copy on steam once, then register your code at egosoft site. Once that's done, youre be given an non-steam exe (at the egosoft site), which will remove the need for steam. However the removal of steam will mean you will lose support of steam, ie. automatic updates, achievements and may see your game be unsupported in the future. The non-steam exe maybe an one-off thing, and v2.0 may not be the last patch.
