STAR WARS™: X-Wing Alliance™

STAR WARS™: X-Wing Alliance™

windows 10
How do I get these games to work with windows 10? I bought the bundle last night, and only x-wing works. I'm thinking of getting a refund.

Try install DSUCP 2.3. Works fine on Windows 10 for me. (I've never tried running the vanila game)

I may have found a fix to this problem most folks are having on Windows 10.

I bought the game on Steam, downloaded the Darksaber Ultimate Craft Pack (the latest version) and basically patched it (with the official 2.02 patch) to upgrade XWA with the Pack. After that I noticed that I kept getting an error every single time I ran xwingalliance.exe. The error message read "Failed to detect X-wing Alliance CD 0xc0000022" and knew there was a solution as this never happened before.

Turns out there is an option called DIRECT PLAY which is a Windows Feature that needs to be enabled in order to run the game. You can find and enable it by going into Control Panel and on the TOP LEFT corner of the screen you'll see "Turn Windows Features on/off". Find Legacy Components or something to that effect, enable everything in the subcategories and restart your machine.

And voila! X-Wing Alliance works like a charm!

Update to 2018 if someone needs:

Installed XWA on Win10 without patches fixes or anything else from steam and it works completely
