Two small issues with XWAUP 1.6
Posted: Sun Dec 08, 2019 3:19 pm
Hello all! First off, I just got back into XWA again after finally installing the 1.6 Patch. Amazing, amazing work as always. Playing the mission where you abandon the Kothlis base looks beautiful. However, I have ran into 2 minor issues. I took a look at the readme but haven't seen a solution yet. It's been a while where I needed help editing, so any help is greatly appreciated.
First - I installed a clean copy of XWA (from CDs). Then I installed the 1.6 Patch. Everything is great. The only thing that didn't get updated was the Lambda Shuttle. It looked like it was the TG model.
Second - I installed the new crafts that were released after the 1.6 Update (except the accelerator rings, I don't play the Pilot Proving Grounds). I tested them all in skirmish, no issues except for the casino. I played the mission where you evacuate the casino, it crashed right after the mission briefing. I downloaded the latest ddraw file, and the mission loaded no problems. I hypered into region 2 where the casino was, saw it was working so I went to quit, then I got an error message and the game crashed. I don't recall what the error message was, something to do with a GBU? or something, that's all I remember. I never got the error message again. I tried the mission again, flew around the casino for a bit and no issues, no game crash this time. I tried in skirmish, it works, but now the game crashes when the casino is destroyed.
I want to point out after installing the latest ddraw file, the Lambda shuttle was updated. It did shrink my resolution down, but playing the game itself my screen is still widescreen, so I'm in no rush to fix that, as its just the concourse that's a smaller screen. The rest of the game works flawlessly. Has anyone encountered these issues, or is it just an issue on my end?
