X3 Reunion won't run on my desktop

[brettt777]

I have all of the "X" games; Beyond the Frontier, Tension, The Threat, Reunion, Terran Conflict, Albion Prelude and Rebirth. They all run perfectly on my desktop machine... except Reunion. No matter how I set the Graphic settings or input device, I can get to the menu or options or even the one intro movie, but as soon as I load a normal game or a custom game, it CtD every time. I have reinstalled it a few times and set the graphics way up or way down. Doesn't matter, still CtD every time. My desktop is an i7 4970 @ 3.6ghz, GTX-770, 16gb DDR3, Soundblaster Zx and Windows 10 Pro. All other X games run perfectly; all other games of any kind (I have about 4 dozen games on it) run great. Oddly enough, I have Reunion installed on my laptop and it runs fine on there. It's an i7 720QM @ 1.6ghz, Mobility HD5870, 8gb DDR3 and Windows 10 pro. Any ideas why every other X game and any other game will run perfectly on my desktop but Reunion will not run and CtD every time?

Hi. Please post a current DxDiag for your desktop system. Is this the Steam or DVD version? The information we request for Tech Sp issues is rather essential for making any progress.

What may help a lot are the relevant CTD error messages.

There are a few other X3R crashing threads on the front page of this forum that might be worth reading through. Good luck.
