My system definitely shows 64-bit and you know what I'll just show you.

There you go.

You're missing a driver or firmware or something then.

[motorbitch]

thats odd. the full 4gb of your ram should be usable.

edit:
nvm. your computer does not have dedicated gpu memory, but uses 512mb of your ram instad.

Give this a shot:

Your computer should meet minimum requirements but the game is a bit broken atm and will take months to fix.

Have you tried X Albion Prelude?

[motorbitch]

im not sure on the min specs there. iirc egosoft said non dedicated 3d hardware would not be supported.

Well...I guess after two work days they managed to half fix the trade bug and fix the issue with repairing after boarding. The campaign is still a bit broken, few storyline sectors aren't actual ones, the super highway that its entrance is no more then a meter apart from its exit, although I did spot a 2nd jump gate in albion...need to go find that in my free play game and see if that leads anywhere.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

As for the other large issue with the campaign, the game gives you a construction ship, it starts with 0 jump fuel, you get set to -20 with the pmc who owns the stations that sells the jump fuel. I also have no clue how to transfer fuel from one ship to another, so its kind of stuck in the system where the "police" is hostile.

I still don't have much to say on X-R since I don't have it, but to answer the question on mods for X3:TC:

The only ones I've really used are the official Bonus Pack. They're easy to install, and include the Commercial Agent at least that Sonlirain mentioned, and some other stuff. They're also the only mods that leave you eligible for Steam achievements, if you care about that sort of thing

Well I bought this and downloaded it.
HORRIBLE LAG.

Its not TOO bad in space, but if I'm docked anywhere then it freezes for about 30 seconds at a time.
Made it to the "get a defense crew guy" part before I just saved and quit. Mostly because I'm tired, but also because I just don't want to deal with that right now.

So if what I've heard is correct then I either have a REALLY REALLY CRAP rig for this, or a REALLY REALLY GOOD rig for this...
I really hope its the latter.

What did that site say lol?

Albion Prelude would have been the better choice for a weak pc imo.

Also have you updated the graphics drivers or ran Windows Update recently?

The mods in the bonus pack are usually outdated. Commercial agent in particular.

Many thanks for the tips, but I just don't think I'm cut out for this genre. The lack of any meaningful story I can handle... the excruciating travel times without an in-flight movie or something productive going on, and the scarcity of encounters, not so much.

I think I'll cut my losses and stick to my RPGs and god-games.

Don't feel bad, I'm pretty sure most people are having issues with FPS regardless of how "good" or "bad" their hardware is. Updating your drivers won't do a thing.

Wait, I know, have you tried restarting your computer? Try blowing on the video card.

That first bit, there will be autopilot added at some point; which means you could then run it in the background; like with X3. That second bit is what has been eating at me. X3, you had pirates and such running amok even in core systems. Here... there just aren't. And those which do appear, you enormously outmatch. You ship can handle near continuous fire from half a dozen, while having enough firepower even early on to wreck them in 2-3 seconds. And that's assuming the station cops don't get them first.

Use SETA. Also you can engage time compression upto 1000%
But yeah X3 is a game you sometimes want to run in the background

Well in Albion prelude you can always do mission to increase your income while your trader does their stuff, get more trader, manage your empire, there is quite a lot to do in fact. Myself i barely used seta at all exept when i didnt have my jumpdrive and the mod that let you jump anywhere ina  system by cycrow.
