w2k: Can' get X-wing vs. Tie to start

Recommended Posts

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

Go into the game's directory, and start it from the .exe (something like Z_xvt_blahblahblah.exe). It'll work.

Thanks for the reply(!!!), but all I get is a black screen, some hardware activity, and .... back to windows :-(

Any ideas?

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.

create ACT fixes using the win98 layer, and with EmulateJoystick UNchecked under fixes. Use this FAQ for any questions on how to do this.
