Indeed. US release is now confirmed to be November 5th, whilst the EU release will proceed as planned.

My god! Do you have your monitor switched on?


Agreed Jenni. Nowadays I'm just so amazed by my favourite genres/games running what used to be near Myst-exclusive graphics. I can't stand how repedatly over critical people are.

X3, Hl2, Doom3, Q4, Oblivion. They're all beatiful, besides sense of scale & proper level design are really what matters anyway.

The gfx is the last thing I pay attention in a game. Gameplay comes first, period. I would rather play Civ2 for years to come instead of Bug and White 2. I liked X2, but the controls weren't so user friendly. Anyway, I read that they fixed this, and tweaked the interface a little, so I'm really looking forward this one.

Anyway remembers the Wing Commander Privateer era? That was a game to be remembered! After that, the only space sim that had some appeal to me was Freelancer. Let's see what this one reserves.

Well, the gfx bitching is the reason developers dont make good games anymore. They concentrate all their efforts on graphics and then come up with some lousy storyline, or a game which only takes 5 hours to finish.

If anyone receive his/hers copy can you check protection type. You can use for example A-Ray Scanner.

and they said Civ4 was Securom 7 Rolling Eyes

I'm still holding that last shred of hope that the game will use any other form of protection than Starforce. Not because I'd have to deal with SFcure or anything. I just simply refuse to let SF device drivers onto my system. Ever. I made the mistake of buying TOCA2 and I will not get another SF game again. Cracked or otherwise.

X2: The Threat was SecuROM, so chances are big that this game will be SecuROM 7x.

Feel free to clone it up and drop it on usenet. a.b.g would work just fine Wink

So, how ugly is it? Does it make your eyes bleed?

I have a 3500+ 2GB RAM & 7800GTX and it runs 30fps at best & it keeps stuttering horribly as it loads stuff in. I have auto detailing on as well. What kind of beast do they expect us to own in order to run this game properly?!

I find that somewhat odd since alot of the hi-res screenshots linked to here that are in egosoft's forum are made on a a64 3500+, 2gb ram, and 6800GT 256mb. However, the dev that always posted these shots said the upgrade from 1gb ram to 2gb showed minimal games, but regularly played the game with the settings responsible for those screen shots. He did say, however, that the 7x.xx series nvidia drivers worked better than the 8x.xx ones so perhaps that has something to do with it. Otherwise, being the internet afterall and I have no clue who you are, I'd say BS. The game isn't even released in the UK until Friday so unless you got some extremely good connections theres no way you got this game in the first place.

Read the forums, you'll see plenty others with the game. Bury your head in the sand if you want, but this game does not run well. They say a 1.2 patch is due soon - hopefully that will sort out the stutters and then i can get on with playing the game.

Yep I just checked em after posting that, so my apologies. As if this bad news wasn't bad enough, I was only able to read a few of the messages in the forums before their forums went down Rolling Eyes. How coincedentally lucky for egosoft, a little downtime to avoid the flood of 'wtf?! whys it run like shit?' posts on their forums. Ah well, they mentioned a patch was in the works before it even hit the shelves so hopefully it'll correct these problems. Thanks for the hand-on heads up.

I read on the Protection Bitch'n forum that in Russia they made a working clone of a game protected with StarForce version 3.7.11.00. The only extra thing they needed to do was setting the speed of the virtual drives to 1x by using Nero DriveSpeed. If true that means that sfcure isnt "fixed" by Starforce yet and a clone of X3 is possible since it only uses SF 3.6.10.6.

IF the US version is released without starforce will there be another scene release? I want to play this game, but I can't STAND to even think about SF being installed on my brand new pc.

X2 didn't have Starforce on the US version. The US publisher decided against that. So I am hoping that the US X3 won't have it either.
