xwing vs tie fighter in 2k

[pr0iv2 0]

xwing vs tie fighter doesnt let me run it because it doesnt detect directx

i hate games that force dection of a specific version of directx to run

 

how to fix this anyone?

I forget exactly but do a search in this forum. You have to copy the DXhelp file from the X-Wing CD to the windows\system directory and that will let you do it.

Perhaps? Don't have the game so can't say for sure.

That's not it. I remember another post in which someone called LA tech support and they told him to do what I said above (in greater detail). How about doing a search in http://vogons.zetafleet.com/?

I got it to work fine. You'll need the latest patch. (bottom of page) (unless you have the balance of power installed, which includes patch)

 

Then you'll need to use Microsoft's Application Compatibility Toolkit. For more information on this, read my FAQ (and in ACT, disallow the "EmulateJoystick" fix--also you will need a joystick as the game will not run without first detecting one)
