I will add one thing, though am aware it may have been stated before; by scoob maybe. I was ' Steam offline ' for about four weeks no probs, then the other day was not allowed to play my game because my " account credentials have expired." I had to go back online with Steam and re-enter my password...

I really do understand your ire, but no matter how loud you call, there will be an increasing number of people who say, 'The Betamax is dead, long live the Bluray'. Yes that is true and is also why some of use have said to stop playing games on pc. Witch i practically have already only game on my r...

same as the last half decade.
lose weight and get a girlfriend.
the first one is succeeding but might as wel drop the second one as it never ever works for me.

and mayby get my own place.

damm it stopped i want snow
Only get rain outside

i just want to know how you people get all the time to play all those games?
This year i only played 5 games tops and only finished one
One other i want to finish before the sequel gets here (not an x game)

Like cycrow said it has steam as drm. And dicusing drm isn't a good idea since the post above already gave a pirate pro argument i think it will be locked fast. Personal not the steam drm is just as bad as ubidrm and orgin and the reason why i don't buy any of there games anymore. Sad to see egosoft...

Haven't got a clue.

I think he means the new bulldozer cpu from amd that was over hyped.
But for gaming it makes near 0% difference as long as the cpu can push enough data to the gpu it isn't a problem.
Only in cpu intensive games will the cpu matter witch aren't alot.

I was able to download X3TC and Albion Prelude within 20 minutes. It wasn't bad at all. This I suspect is the key difference - for that much data 20 minutes isn't just not bad at all, it's astonishingly good. Wish I had internet that ran anywhere near that fast. You might have a different opinion i...

When i was choosing an mp3 player back in the day is basicly was a tie between an ipod and an archos model Have you looked at them some of them have a pretty good battery life http://www.archos.com/products/mp3_players/index.html?country=nl&lang=en . I choose an ipod because it was a bit lighter/sma...

well the engine matches a couple of the screenshot from rebirth

But yikes is was hoping that it was the battlestar look a like in the trailer that was the ablion shunk not that small thing.

No, it doesn't say, because as explained in the very first post in this thread, the final decision on that hasn't yet been made. Please don't keep pestering us for updates on this; it won't make it happen any quicker, and when there is more information then you can be sure we will post it somewhere...

i have a x52pro and i love it. its a bit of hassle to program all the button's but once its set up its great. The only gripes i have with it are. -middle spring could be a little stronger but that is propably me as i destroyed several joystick before i got my sidewinder pro back in the day. -The led...

Regarding whether the planned boxed retail version of X3: Albion Prelude will require Steam activation, we do not have a definitive answer to this question at the moment. Any progress here ? Answering is not as complex as super luminal neutrino's or Higgs boson detection. Yes or No ? Well apparentl...

If you're building a new system 64bit obviously. And don't take the Home edition of Win7 since it misses loads of functionality. None of that functionality is really relevant to playing games, though, is it? I mean, we're talking stuff like Bitlocker drive encryption and the ability to join a domai...

I'll try tie the wires up, they are indeed quite long. If you have a microphone connected to the computer, make sure it's muted in the sound controls or push to talk. I know it seems like one of those 'no-brainers' one always checks, but that happened to me last year. I have the crackling noise whe...

From the way some people act, you'd think Steam was kicking in doors and stealing children. Steam is not that bad, The only valid reason to complain about it is if you have download limits. Then just buy the retail version, problem solved. I ran the Steam version of X3:TC on a mobile broadband dong...

No I didnt preorder. Why? Because if Rebirth is going to be as accounced, "Only one ship", "No capitals ships" etc. Im not going to buy it. im sorry to be ignorant but wth does accounced means? When they told everybody of the game and the new stuff they also said you only get 1 ship in the game and...

Will we be able to order the retail version from the egosoft shop?
And will that version work without steam?

this gave me and my family a good laugh.
