Tycho 0 Posted March 21, 2000 I have problem getting X-wing vs. Tie-fighter to start. It insists on installing DirectX drivers. If I follow the games installation of DirectX 5.0 (don't worry: not to the end) it claims that Direct3D is not installed. Using the DirectX Diagnostics Tool the Direct3D driver seems to work fine!. Any tips or tricks? I've checked the compatibility on www.ntcompatible.com and the only comment is that it some systems have problems with the intro. p-p-p-p-please help Share this post Link to post
Syncope 0 Posted March 22, 2000 Go into the game's directory, and start it from the .exe (something like Z_xvt_blahblahblah.exe). It'll work. Share this post Link to post
Tycho 0 Posted March 23, 2000 Thanks for the reply(!!!), but all I get is a black screen, some hardware activity, and .... back to windows :-( Any ideas? Share this post Link to post
judas 0 Posted June 5, 2002 Hi there everybody :-) I had the same prob as tycho. goto the xwing dir, create a shortcut to the z_xvt__.exe then rightclick the shortcut and select properties. Add this option to the string: ishost example: "C:\Program Files\LucasArts\XwingTie\z_xvt__.exe" ishost This will skip the direct x detection and startup the game. Have fun guys. Judas....
