Issues fixed
Game crash to desktop
- ffdshow, a DirectShow codec which can be installed as a standalone codec or alongside other DirectShow codecs in a codec pack, can cause a CTD (Crash to Desktop). To correct this, you need to add X3:TC's executable to ffdshow's blacklist. To do so:
Add X3:TC to ffdshow blacklist[6] |

Notes
|
Alt-Tab behavior
- It may not be possible to re-enter the game after alt-tabbing out due to the "Run game in background" setting in the Gameplay Options menu being set to "No" by default. To correct this:
Enable "Run game in background" in Gameplay Options[citation needed] |
