Game Crashes when accessing map - Graphics card below minimum spec.

Is it possible to revert back to X4 prior to the 3.0; before this became an issue? And if so... how?

Unfortunately I don't see any beta branches on steam for earlier versions of the game. So I don't think there's an easy way for you to roll back, unless you have a windows-level backup that would allow you to revert the game files to an earlier time. Even then, I think steam would fight with you and try to make you re-update before you can play.
