As a result the mouse pointer is far too fast. X3 TC / AP / XRM / XTC Universe Colored Map X3 map v1.2 by Scorp (v1.2.3.9) Terran Conflict Edition. A new custom universe map containing 199 new sectors for you to explore. *) Is there a way to set mouse acceleration? The game was clearly programmed with mice in mind that have far less dpi than are common today. This is a new region of space, new sectors are being discovered and linked to the universe while you are playing. I'm asking because I would like to play with keyboard and mouse and my gamepad seems to be disturbing my flight. *) Is there a way to disable joystick/gamepad input for the game? I've seen where you can configure which Gamepad you want to use if you have several connected to your PC but if you have only one connected it is always selected and can not be deselected. Does anyone know of any other way or was anyone here actually successful in restoring 3D sound to the game?
I've tried emulation software for that (Creative Alchemy) which works in restoring EAX for quite a few games but it doesn't seem to work for X3. *) Is there any way to get 3D sound working again? I know, because of its age the game uses EAX and EAX relies on Directsound3D which was killed after XP. I wasn't so lucky with these problems though: (Why the hell aren't there settings for that?

The tutorial is, unfortunately, not up to the task (unless you are either dedicated, happy to experiment, or have experience with one of the game's predecessors).Ī definite turn-off, though, is that it is neigh on impossible to play X3 without a joystick.
My program shows you an actual X3 sector-map, with detailed information. Again, this may appeal to hardcore gamers - but not to me. X3: Reunion is a computer game in the X series developed by Egosoft company more.
Worse, X3 can be singularly unforgiving - a small mistake during the initial phase of the game can come back to haunt you countless hours later. This game is aimed at the hardcore gamer, with a stunning array of options, configuration options, and a learning curve to match. Some aspects of the interface (especially management of resources later in the game) are ill conceived or badly executed. X3 may be an OK game, but it is overly complex (however, that may appeal to you), and somewhat oddly paced. They all try, and X3 is the second time I've tried an offering from this series. Now, almost 30 years later, many have tried to recapture the essence of Elite: open-ended, freewheeling space trade. I still play it occasionally on my Apple II emulator. In 1985 I got hooked on a game called ELITE.
