This quite a big bump, but I suppose it's worth it. So, I was chatting a few days ago with a hungarian guy who's translating Xenus 2 to his language: according to him, in both games (Xenus II and Precursors) there actually IS english text and he told me that almost everything is translated, but the developers hid it due to the release being russian only.
So there maybe be actually a way to translate the game into english. He hinted someone could use the QRE (editor) to see if it's possible to copy/paste english text over the russian one. I'm definately going to see if it's possible - The Precursors looks awesome and I've been dreaming for a game of this kind for more years than I can remember.

Last I heard the company had some problems, Xenus 2 for example hasn't been released outside eastern Europe.
(There are a few fan translations but very early versions, nothing for this game though as far as I know.)

Don't expect much. Game got trashed by AG.RU review with 37% reviewer score and 51% user score.
Short summary:
- Much worse than Xenus 2
- Stupid quests ala escort a drunk head to his home
- Weak text and dialogs
- Forced "To be continued" ending
- Space sim part is very primitive and mostly an arcade shoot em up
- Trading is useless and random escort / attack missions are all alike and unprofitable
- Free roaming space exploration is pointless as there is nothing to explore - only the same copy & paste asteroid fields and space stations
- Low variations of NPC faces(~10), even plot NPCs share faces with common NPCs
And from the latest comments to the review game is still unstable with latest patches. |

Yeah I loved BP.

Believable and relatable...Yep, sounds like Call of Duty

Sweet! That'll serve some searching, thanks! I already have Xenus 2 on my HDD, which was ready and waiting for the English translation =)

Just as a little note are you using a ATI or NVIDIA card Sabin, Xenus engine or what it's called has some pretty annoying issues with ATI in particular with Xenus 2 resulting in rather bad framerate and visual bugs and artifacts, particularly with the bloom and HDR.
(Less noticeable in Precursors but I only ever played the intro sequences of either, both having the latest available updates available by then though it seems there hasn't been any other patch progress in the meantime and driver improvements aren't really going to happen unless the titles get a official international publisher and release, recent Catalyst like 10.5/10.5a might have improved stuff a bit in general though, unsure.)

I'm running an ATi board, but luckily I don't *recall* having any issues when I tested out Xenus 2 with the old babelfish translation. Do you own both copies retail? If not, how did you apply the latest patches - at the time?

DT Pro and clone mini-images, come to think of it that might have been 1.01 and not the recent 1.1 larger update.
I re-downloaded both and will try them again when I have the time for it (Things are a bit chaotic and hectic at the moment.), might have changed since what I experienced with the games initially.

I've not yet finished DLing Precursors, but I'm definitely looking forward to it. Xenus 2 looks like it could be great fun, but yeah... definitely needs a patch or ten >_>
