You keep saying "professional sites" but not listing any despite no one else being able to find them, and when we give evidence you just dismiss it out of hand.
are you blind or are you paid to state such things? (employee)

Because, if you read the original post correctly and without bias, you see that I include a link to one of them and that, after a very basic search, you will find several others.

Nice try!

And yes, little monkey: ironic that makes me rich...hum! have a banana kid.

Yes. I'm paid to say such things. Just like I'm paid to say that the game seems to be dumbed down and consolized so I wouldn't buy it right now regardless of it's requirements...

Clearly you are blind..

Plenty of people including me have no issues whatsoever running the game in Win7 (there may be a few CTDs or such, but any new game will have those).

No matter how much you close your eyes and ears pointing at that wierd checkreq page I've never seen before, it won't change the fact that the main assertion in your original post is false.

The game may have gazillions of glaring flaws, but this is not one of them.

Minimum:

DirectX: Version 9.0c
Hard Drive: 8 GB available space
Sound Card: DirectX 9.0c Compatible Sound Card
As my taskmanger reports the exe is only 32 bit.
The game only uses 4.6gbs harddrive is it just me or are we missing a chunk of the game?
That explains it! we currently only have 1/2 of the game! Phew! Was worried for a sec that we that we were actually playing the full game...

/sarcasm off

I also have no problem with Windows 7. ANd I do not have a DX11 video card anyway. Game runs "fine". Also the executable is 32-bit.

(one ex: http://en.checkreq.com/scan.php?game=X+Rebirth)
Checkreq.com does not look like a reputable site to me. Asking the user right away to launch a java application with unrestricted rights?

Also, a quick Google search shows only one link to Checkreq.com from the Egosoft forum on the first five result pages, and none from other online gaming communities. I'd expect a professional review site to be known and referenced more often :sceptic: .

For me, that starts all sorts of alarms. Might even be a scam site built to get users to install malware...
Gazz in the LT forum:
In X3, piracy is not implemented at all. All the "pirates" that fly around are bands of roaming psychopaths that destroy everything they see without even trying to loot anything.

Apparently an Egosoft dev went on the steam forums and said that they did not optimize the game what so ever for high end machines.

So, ya, thats why.

Sites that check your computer to see if you have the minimum specifications to run the game must use some sort of app to gather information from your system for analysis. I don't know what "checkreq" needs access to, so I can't vouch for it. I use "canirunthis" - http://systemrequirementslab.com/cyri to check requirements and have never had any issue.

Also, just because a particular site/prog/info seems to imply you must run a particular Direct X in order to run the game doesn't mean that's absolutely true. When in doubt, go straight to the developers.

this is not how directx works. if a game requires dx n, it will not run on a system that only supports dx n-m.
