Hi all,
Love XWA and decided to try the XWAUP. Haven't had this game installed in years. Tried to install it today and am running into problems. I install the stock version (mine is already updated to 2.02). I have done no editing, cracking, or any other modifications whatsoever...this is straight out of the box. As soon as I try to launch the game, the screen goes black for a second as the graphics rendering kicks in, and then crash to desktop. It's not even initializing the game (i.e., the CFG file only reads "lastpilot Ace Azzameen").
Things I have tried so far:
- -Searching this forum and the web for resolutions to similar issues
-Reimer's xwahacker.exe and fixedclear.bat solution
-setting xwingalliance.exe to run in win 98, NT, and 2000 compatibility modes
-setting my anti-virus to exclude xwingalliance.exe
-Reimer's 16 & 32 bit .bat files
-created graphics driver profile for xwingalliance.exe with following settings:- -Anistropic filtering: Off
-Antialiasing gamma correction: Off
-Antialiasing setting: None
-Antialiasing transparency: Off
-Conformant texture clamp: use hardware
-Extension limit: On
-Force mipmaps: None
-Maximum pre-rendered frames: 2
-Multi-display/mixed-GPU acceleration: Single display
-Texture filtering - anistropic mip filter optimization: Off
-Texutre filtering - anistropic sample optimization: Off
-Texture filtering - negative LOD bias: Allow
-Texture filtering - quality: Quality
-Texture filtering - trilinear optimization: On
-Triple buffering: Off
-Vertical sync: Force on
