The 1.4.02 update for X3: Reunion fixes a number of issues in 1.4 and earlier versions. It also provides improved support for widescreen resolutions.
Enhancements:
- Support for widescreen resolutions has been improved, aspect ratio corrected.
Fixes:
- Certain crashes related to loading savegames have been resolved (some savegames from version 1.3.02 BETA might no longer be compatible with 1.4.02). - A crash that appeared when adding a new station to a specific complex configuration has been resolved and complex building routines have been adapted. - A crash that appeared under Win98/Win2000 when firing weapons has been resolved. - A crash when starting the game on older CPUs (Athlon, C3) has been resolved. - Issues with older ATI graphics card drivers (pre cat6.3) and medium shader settings that resulted in videos being played back as a white screen have been resolved. - Some textures have been improved to reduce the "see-through" effect (e.g. planets could be seen through certain pixels at the border of otherwise solid objects). - Improved installation of Windows Media Codecs under Windows 98 / 2000 (the default installation sometimes did not complete the setup process).
Note: Savegame compatibility is maintained from all previous publicly released versions to 1.4 (including 1.4.1 BETA 1 and 2) but it is possible that certain savegames made using 1.3.02 BETA may no longer work.
