X4: Foundations Public Beta 4.10 has started

Hello {USER}

A lot has happened in the Egosoft universe since our last newsletter and we're looking forward to updating you today.

We recently released the first beta version of the upcoming 4.10 update for X4: Foundations. In the 4.10 update we will be adding a couple of major new features, as well as improving some existing ones such as terraforming. In response to your feedback on the 4.00 update, we are fixing, among other things, various issues associated with mining, trading and station management. Another improvement we have made is to our graphics engine’s asset management in X4: Foundations. This should result in better use of graphics memory, and help with things like asteroids popping in.

You can find the full changelog for the current beta version of the 4.10 update in our forum. Please note that the two key new features (Multiverse Team Seasons, Custom Game Start) are not available in the first 4.10 beta release, but are scheduled to be added in later beta versions.

How do I take part in the Public Beta?
Every player who owns X4: Foundations has the opportunity to download the new 4.10 beta version. In order to ensure that beta participants are aware of the risks and rules involved, we ask all interested players to visit our forum where they will find both the rules and disclaimers, as well as practical instructions for participating in the beta. Follow this link to our forum (no registration required) to find the relevant information.

X3: Farnham's Legacy - 1.2 Update now available
Last week we have released another update for X3: Farnham's Legacy. Developed by a dedicated community team, the 1.2 update is now available for download. It comes with numerous improvements and bug fixes; you can find the complete list of changes on our forum.

We would like to thank everyone who has purchased the X3: Farnham's Legacy Donation Pack. As previously announced, we are donating the proceeds from this Donation Pack to Médecins Sans Frontières / Doctors Without Borders. This week Egosoft has rounded up the accumulated total and has donated the sum of 2,500 euros. The X3: Farnham's Legacy Donation Pack will remain available to purchase until August 31st, 2021, allowing you to thank the project team for their work and to do a good deed at the same time. Of course, you can also donate directly to Médecins Sans Frontières through their website.

The 1.2 update concludes our development work on this free community project, though we do still intend to find time to create a Linux build of the game in the not too distant future. Don’t forget that X3: Farnham's Legacy opens up many new avenues for potential modding projects, and we look forward to seeing what you come up with! Take a look at the "Scripts and Modding" subforum for X3: Farnham's Legacy for inspiration.

We would like to thank everyone who has been involved in the project over the past five years, and who has helped turn a crazy idea into a reality.

We wish you a good week and lots of fun in the X-Universe!
Team Egosoft
