    Honestly im enjoying it, haven't crashed once.

    Got hunted down by a Warden today, served me right I guess for going around blowing up PMC freighters engines for the laugh.

    Are you playing the campaign or the sandbox mode? I've started using an xbox controller, so the earlier control problems I've had aren't a worry anymore (and the controller works really well. And apart from the kamikaze freighter pilots who follow you everywhere, I've not had any major bugs.

    What? Is this actually true? :eek:

    I find this hard to believe and he's just pulling your leg. Sure you can play offline mode on nearly every game.

    As Potatoeman said, at the moment you have to sync up every few weeks. Apparently though, this is not intentional and they're working on a new authentication system that should allow you to play in offline mode indefinitely.

    Its a pain. You already have to activate the a second client through email. I have to do this everytime I use my laptop.

    I begining to see the downside of steam. A friend of mine got rid of his internet to save some cash and now cant play any of his steam games. It locks them all out after two or three weeks. The price for new games is the same and you get no physical product.

    He should get someone with a smartphone to do a Wifi hotspot so he can wake Steam up again. I had never heard of this happening.

    It would also have to update the client. He's been offline for a few months. I looked into it and as above its a known issue. I was not aware of it myself either until he mentioned it.

    Yup, hopefully they'll sort it out in a proper, seamless way.

    Every time? That's not right, I only ever had to approve twice; once when I first installed Steam to the lappy, and once when I accessed Steam through a different browser. Nothing at all in the many months since...

    Steam are refusing refunds.

    But I am not giving up. Surely I am entitled to a refund under the 'Sales of Goods Act & Supply of Services' ?

    Refund, replacement, or repair.

    I'd say that patching would count as repair, and for you to get a refund the onus would be on you to prove why it's not an acceptable recourse.

    I've got a refund off them before but that was due to a discount that was meant to be applied to owners of another game not being applied to me; and it was only the discounted amount being credited.

    Campaign, 360 controller. Bar the Trading Bug that screwed everyone over (got a save file for that) I haven't had one crash. Performance is steady and it doesn't sound like my PC is about to take off unlike when im playing BF4....

    I think the problem with the combat is that the normal fighters are too slow, ****ing drones however are the most annoying piece of sh*t ever!

    Wot I Think: X Rebirth
    ...Then it crashed and the save corrupted. I’d spent about 30 hours getting to that point, and I’d had enough. It’s an appalling, broken mess, and I’m not going back.

    Rock, Paper, Shotgun: X Rebirth review. Depressing. :mad: How could they have messed it up so bad? It's not like they are inexperienced.

    Seems Steam are very quiet and ignoring people or answering tech issues and refunds at a snails pace.

    The Steam community who purchased X-Rebirth is on fire over there. But some of the rage is bit OTT.

    Haven't bought this as

    1: the X series has some competition now.
    2: it's not sound great from everyone here.


    Looking forward to No man's sky and the new Elite, not so much star citizen.

    I never heard of No Man's Sky. Just watched the trailer there and have to say it looks promising. X Rebirth is a dissapointment, but nevertheless I'm delight there is a Space Sim/Game revival. The genre has been overlooked for far too long.

    X Rebirth 2.0 - Secret Service Missions released
    This major update of X Rebirth brings a host of new features and improvements.New missions, new ships, change your cockpit, a new radar, reworked shaders and visuals, improved menus, autopilot, improved fleet AI and much more...


    I haven't played the latest version, but it claims to tackel some issues with the original build. Especially the new radar, autopilot, not having to land all the time to talk with NPC's and different cockpit skins.

    Would be interested to see if it's playable after this update. Was actually tempted by it the other day, but than i remembered how bad the reviews were and Installed X3 instead.

    I would hold off buying it for now. There is a new story but the late game is found wanting. It seems the game works a good deal better now, but it is sill quite shallow compared with it's predecessors. :(

    This is definite Steam Sale territory for me. I really wanted this to be good, but the reviews turned me right off, thankfully. Maybe once it gets below a tenner.

    I'm curious about this one too. So many times I've hovered over a purchase button but not clicked due to current reviews.
    If this brings some improvements I'll jump into it fairy quick!

    Just noticed this update downloading away when I turned the computer on yesterday.
    I have 1 hour logged in this game and I pre-purchased it :(
    Will try and give it a proper go again this weekend after this new update.

    Anyone have any updates on this? Was the patch any improvement?

    I ended up installing X3TC yesterday. Man I have no idea what the heck I'm doing. It's so confusing.

    I almost bought it at the weekend, but decided to wait a while. Watch Dogs and Wildstar are out this week, so i'll pick it up in a few weeks.

    Really just don't. It'll disappoint you. They've fixed some stuff with this patch, but the game is still badly put together. You're better off playing the previous games and waiting until the likes of Elite come out.
