I found way to do it.
Start multiple instances of x3 tc, when you get first error, dont click ok.
Go to task manager, and check if there is x3 tc exe with 45.616 memory allocated, close all others, that one with 45616 will run.
I just run it 3 times this way.
other two memory numbers were 45592 and 45588 and neither of this wouldnt run. :D
enjoy
works with 45624 too.

Update its easier to run it with loaded cpus, i usually do blender render.
deal is to load cpu then run exe.

Hey guys, i've just registered to help you guys.

What I did was searched everywhere for new image but couldn't find it. Then i discovered that you can still use the

X3_Terran_Conflict_(NORMAL_tages_MINI_image_by_xKV tor).mds

Just make sure you keep a backup of
X3TC.exe
dvm.dll

before the 2.1 patch.

After the patch copy the files back use the 2.0 files

It works for me without any problem or clicking the exe 15 times lol.

Cheers

Using files of different versions together may cause strange, unexpected behavior so, no, your solution is not good.

Good ;p I play with no problem ;p

Thanks!!! it works for me :cool

Hi! I think I found a solution, it's strange but it works for me.
As usual, after having installed the game and the 2.1 patch, mount the image of the game in the virtual DVD player with daemon tools, then open it and go to: Data folder and double click on X3TC.exe. It may work.

What image of the game are you talking about?

Well, sounds like a nice idea, it even works....... but the game runs from the image, which has the basic version (1.01)... soooooo that plan doesn't really work. :P
Was a nice try tho... and sounded a lot less insane than the working way (20 instances) :P.

Read the changelog. No ETA given for the patch yet, but most likely it will be out until December. Egosoft respects again its promise to remove the copy protection after one - two years. They will also re-release the game without a copy protection as they already did in the past with other titles in the X series.

With this being on the way, i think this topic reached its end.

P.S.: patch 2.5 is out. No more CD-checks. Protection removed, bugs fixed and new stuff added to the game.
