Those of you who have been playing X3: Albion Prelude for some time, and have been waiting for a fix for the performance issues experienced after extensive play, need wait no longer. We have also taken this opportunity to make some related performance optimisations, and to fix a number of bugs reported in the initial release.

Those of you playing X3: Terran Conflict will be pleased to know that we've back-ported some of the most important bug-fixes from X3: Albion Prelude, along with a number of the performance improvements.

For STEAM users, both games should update automatically provided your Steam client is configured to do this. For everyone else, the patch for X3TC is available in our Download area.

More details of what these patches contain are on our Forums.
