Hi all, long time lurker first time poster. I've come back to XWA for the first time since 2016, amazing to see the community still so active.

I've got a problem with the game crashing to desktop on certain mission loading screens, immediately after briefing but before the hangar. I played through B0M1- B0M4 inclusive with no problems, but the crashing starts on B0M5. I have tried using other unlocked missions on the flight simulator and have the same problem with B0M5-B0M9. B1M1 seems to work fine but that is as far as I have unlocked on my old saved profile.

I have done a clean install and worked my way through the various packs. A clean install with XWAUCP_v1.6 works fine. Once I install the XWAUCP_Patch_v1.0, I start having the problem every time.

Version: Steam
OS: Windows 10 Home

Anyhelp would be much appreciated! Thanks.

Hello,
Can you post a crash report from the Event Viewer?

1. Go in the Event Viewer.
2. Browse to the crash event (in Windows -> Application)
3. Select and Copy the text
4. Paste it here

The only difference in the patch is it includes the latest hooks and direct draw.
If you have installed the Effects installer then you will be using a different Ddraw and everything else will still be the same.

If you haven't done yet you can try installing the Effects package.
