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

Re: Rebirth 1.0
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:sMull wrote:Any way to play the release version of Rebirth?

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
