Rebirth 1.0

Post by sMull » Sun, 23. Apr 17, 01:37

Any way to play the release version of Rebirth? Just curious since i did not buy at release. Want to see if its as bad as the early negative reviews portrayed it.

Right now the game is one of my favorites and I find it a big improvement over the previous X games. But really want to try the initial release version somehow :)

The best (or rather worst) you can do is go back and use the 32 bit Steam beta version which was 2.51.

Going back to 1.0 would be rather like this I think -> :headbang:

Short answer: yes it was, mostly :( I'll ignore the whines of those that talked themselves into expecting some things that weren't on the production list (cf NMS) & limit the list to some things that were relevant:

No radar, assorted campaign bugs & incredibly poor pathfinding, plus the highway minigame made things incredibly tedious to complete. Plus frequent CTDs due to assorted problems (mostly video drivers & memory leaks AFAICR) after playing for >1hr.. thankfully that's behind us now, mostly

If you're desperate to try the original (prolly 1.10), take a look around on assorted websites for a DVD edition, then turn off all steam updates once registered (or install the nosteam patch) /immediately/ after the install
