Hello -

Bug fixes in Mega Patch: Update 2.1 Posted by Ace Antilles XWAU 2020 Mega Patch Update 2.1 is now available. We had to release this one so close to the last as there were a few big bugs that slipped in that needed fixing. The X-wing 'radar' screens were not showing the correct directions. This has now been fixed on all the XW versions. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, YES! If you can get a pc to run this game, i STRONGLY urge you to take the chance and play it. I remember getting them when they first came out back in the 90s(well tie fighter and x-wing alliance) and never being able to play them because my parents couldnt afford a decent joystick/wouldnt take the time to get one for me. Years later, i finally have my own gaming rig set.

I recently installed the XWA Upgrade 1.6 and then the day 1 patch 1.0.
I used to play on the original version 2.02 of the game via Steam with my XBOX 360 Controller. I had installed Joy2Key and made a profile in order to map my controls the way I wanted them. Secondarily, I had downloaded this version of ddraw (https://github.com/rdoeffinger/xwa_ddraw_d3d11/releases) in order to enable keyboard and mouse support in lieu of a joystick in order for my XBOX 360 controller to properly emulate a Keyboard and mouse via Joy2Key. This worked really well.

X-wing Alliance Joystick Patches

Since installing the XWAUP the game does not read any type of joystick (shows no joystick buttons in the game controller menu) and as a result, I cannot fly my ship during missions, it just spins out of control.
I tried using the ddraw file I linked above, but it appears to be incompatible with the latest patched version. I receive an invalid parameters error message when trying to launch a mission that requires a ctrl+alt+del and end task. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get my controller to be recognized and working again?
Thanks
