DX11 Required for Homefront:The Revolution
In checking my configuration, I see that I have the latest Direct X version installed. However, when starting (launching) the game, Homefront:The Revolution (from Steam account). I get the error message of:

"YOU NEED DX11 CAPABLE TO PLAY HOMEFRONT:THE REVOLUTION"

Any thoughts. . .

What are your PC specs? You need a DirectX11 capable GPU to run the game.

Here are my specs:

Operating System
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1
CPU
AMD Phenom X4 9600 Black Edition
Agena 65nm Technology
RAM
8.00 GB Dual-Channel DDR2 @ 401MHz (5-5-5-15)
Motherboard
ASUSTeK Computer INC. M4A78-EM (AM2)
Graphics
HP S1931 (1366x768@60Hz)
ATI Radeon HD 4800 Series (Sapphire/PCPartner)
Hard Drives
932GB Seagate ST1000DM003-1CH162 ATA Device (SATA)
2795GB Seagate ST3000DM001-9YN166 ATA Device (SATA)
Optical Drives
DTSOFT Virtual CdRom Device
HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GH22LP20 ATA Device
Audio
Realtek High Definition Audio

I do have Direct3D 10.x/11.x installed. When typing, "dxdiag" in the RUN dialog box, I find that I do have DirectX 11 installed. When I opened it, I made sure that I added the game (Homefront: The Revolution) in the ADD list prompt. All I get when running the game is the introduction of companies who created the game. Not the game itself.

Here is part of the spec listing in my DirectX Diagnostic Tool dialog box (last line):

DirectX Version: DirectX 11

Any thoughts.

The ATI Radeon HD 4800 is not a DX11-compatible GPU. It only supports DX10.

Thank you so much for your assistance and information. I am currently upgrading to a new graphic card: AMD Radeon HD 6850 1GB GDDR5. (Cards HD5000 or above are DX11 capabable).

To be honest, 1GB of VRAM isn't a lot for this kind of game. You might get away with the lowest texture quality, but anything higher tends to creep towards 1.5GB.

Also, your CPU is kinda weak. Homefront is a very CPU-demanding game.
