That's the place for collecting problems and bugs to get solved them.
The importance describes the fail level of the issue:
- 3: Game is still playable with the problem or is not reproducible (Autopilot issues, Graphics problem, small performance issue, writing error, ...)
- 2: Workaround is possible or can be ignored (Ai autopilot + Station goes boom)
- 1: Crash, Plot-Stopper, no workaround, "core meltdown" (Crash)
General User Interface
| Short title | Description / Reproducing steps / Discussion link | Importance |
|---|---|---|
| Mouse disabled in main menu | While pressing a key on the keyboard and you hit esc to go to the main menu you can't use the mouse to make a selection. Only arrow keys work. | 3 |
| Opening the map teleports you | Seems to be that sometimes going through a gate and immediately initially travel mode and switching to the map breaks you. You're teleported back to the original system you jumped from, instead of the map you get a glitch screen, and any future jumps cause you to teleport back once you open you map again. You can't get out of this state unless you reload your save. | 2 |
| Landing a ship in third person mode | I cant land a ship in third person mode. Thats cause the landing support visual isnt displayed (red dot turns green). If i enter first person mode, it instantly succedes. | 3 |
Graphics

In map mode Legend list is Glitching | Open Game --> Map --> Legend (right side on the map view, little "location" symbol) When i move the list up and down, there are some graphic glitches. I still works (i hope, got no other problems), but is a graphical bug.

| Uncontrolable ship after loading a save. | When loading the game while the player is seated in the pilot chair, controls might not work. Workaround is to stand up and sit down again. | 2 |
| Hghways - Gate issue | Traveling through some highways may "teleport" you to another end of the unvierse. More information required / see in forum. | 2 |
| Repairing data leaks destroys them | Occasionally for random reasons while you repair data leaks they all of a sudden get "destroyed" mid-repair process. | 3 |
Declined (No bug of X4)
- X4 + OBS Capture / Stream issue: https://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?f=146&t=402317
OBS (open broadcast software) is not able to capture X4 in Game Mode. Thats an issue of OBS / Vulcan API, not X4 itself.
Developer Response from OBS:

"Vulcan games can be counted with one hand and so there was no priority to implement game capture for it (beside that it's difficult to do)"
