It appears the release is a complete ass-tastic failure, Steam forums are on fire and the official X4 forums barely load at all.
In short; lots of people can't even launch the game, it just freezes on loading screen and they're getting refunds on Steam![]()
There is a guy complaining about how it is taking forever to get back to his ship while in EVA suit. he was walking around an NPCs freighter that he got on from a space station, and the freighter left the space station while he was on it, and his ship is still on the space station. He decided to leave the freighter and use the EVA suit to get back to the station, but it is taking forever since the suit only goes 4 m/s. It will take him an hour to get back to his ship.

In x3 you could order your ship to follow you, can't you do that here?
Isn't there a custom option?
Nvidia drivers have a minor issue with how they name their VSync options towards Vulkan games (like X4). You will therefore note, that the default VSync mode name "Triple Buffering VSync” is in fact not syncing (you will see tearing).
A consequence of this is also that VSync OFF (which is very useful for GSync users) is greyed out. Again this is the driver reporting this IN ERROR, not our game!
Nvidia is working on fixing this naming issue.
The best combination for GSync users at the moment is probably VSync (simple version) with Borderless!
