    Important

    We strongly recommend that you take a system restore point, prior to applying any hotfixes or patches. These should also be applied to your TEST environment first before applying to LIVE.

    Please note they should be applied to all folders: X3, LIVE, TEST, etc.

    Due to MTD evolution on the recent deliveries, it is not possible to provide an official hotfix for older patches.

    If you are on these patches, as identified in the table, please contact our Customer Services to help you find a workaround.

    As a reminder, it is always highly recommended to be on the latest versions and patch level in order to prevent any hotfix incompatibility.

     If you experience any issues or require further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us at Customer Services.

    • VAT submission period is 15/06/20 – 14/09/20).
