XWAU 2020 Mega Patch Update 5.5 Posted by Forceflow


XWAU 2020 Mega Patch Update 5.5 is out now!

Warning, this Update is NOT compatible with the current version of TFTC!
An update of the TFTC that will incorporate patch 5.5 is in the works but will take a bit longer. If you want to keep playing TFTC while still checking out Patch 5.5 you will nee to make a copy of your XWA installation folder and switch between the two.

Brand new versions of the A-wing, TIE Advanced x1, Escort Transport, X-wing changes, TIE improvements, Effects, Updates and more!


We hadn't planned to release a new update for a while but the team have made massive improvements in recent months!

Ideally we wanted to do more to celebrate Star Wars Day but better late than never.

So Ace Antilles has been working extremely hard to compile this Update for your enjoyment over the summer months.

There may not be another patch for a while but there's more than enough in this one to keep you busy.

The team have been working very hard on a lot of these new ships for some time now so we are delighted to let you pilots have fun.

Testing has been done on this release but not for as long as we would like. Please post if you find any bugs connected to this release.

This release is a little different due to time restraints. You need to have the Update 5 installed before this 5.5.

Update 5.5 is coming... Posted by Forceflow
Hey folks!

The team is working very hard behind the scenes to bring you another update. Sadly it's still not the big 2022, but with so many new features and abilities that were made available recently that one is just too much work to get it out any time soon. But since there have been some cool new ships done and we also have some major improvements with the hooks and DDRaw to offer we wanted to make a smaller patch after all.

It's still a bit off but hopefully you'll be able to enjoy it very soon! To tide you over in the meantime a small teaser for you to enjoy:


There's also been some smaller improvements I made to the page. Little bit of an Easter-egg including some new animations I made. Head over to the Showcase page and have a look around

May the 4th be with you Posted by Forceflow
I hope you are all doing great and enjoy this years Star Wars day. We don't have much to offer over here, but DTM made a small BETA installer so that you can test out his newest TIEs which all got a nice new polish. There's also the newest BETA version off DDraw from blue_max included which should offer much better performance!

You can find the BETA installer in the Downloads page under Beta Versions. (Called XWAU 2022 5.1 BETA)



The team is very hard at work behind the scenes and there are a lot of new things to come, though with the current installer being very complicated to update the next real update will be a full blown new install again. Combine this with all the new options we just recently got means however that you'll have to be patient until the next real Upgrade will be available.

I know waiting sucks, so here's a small teaser to show you that waiting is absolutely worth your time:
