x wing vs. tie fighter

[bbyemployee]

hey guys,
im trying to play x wing vs. tie fighter on my newly built computer that is running windows xp pro. if you are not familiar with this game is was originally made to run with windows 95/98. everything runs fine except when i go into a battle in the game the sound is slowed down making all the sounds sound really really bad

 

[Ris3n_Da3mon]

have you tried running it in compatibility mode?

 

[bbyemployee]

how would i run it in compatability mode?

 

[jmecor]

right click on the executable..
select Properties..
select Compatability..
select Windows 98/ME mode. (in the scroll-down menu).

You can download it at your local computer software retailer. It will cost you about five dollars....

That game is oldschool. I bought it when it first came out and that was the first game I ever played online. A 300 ms ping was good, and anything under 200 was amazing

maybe i'll search for it in kazaa.

Man, I remember back when I was 13 or 14, I bought X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter and the graphic were AWESOME! I loved the gameplay of the individual level. But what I did not like was the lack of a story line. I think that's what killed what shoulda/coulda been a "Game of the Year" type of game.

My OS features preemptive multitasking, a fully interactive command line, & support for 640K of RAM!

There is no "Compatibility mode" for XvT

Try VDMSound (see link).

I don't know if it will work for X-Wing vs Tie Figher as it's designed to work with DOS games and hybrid games (DOS games that use a Windows frontend). It is designed to fix sound issues.

why not just use a win98 boot disk and find the file and run it in dos mode.

[phsstpok]

That would be tough unless he reserved a FAT32 partition. Windows 98 and DOS can't "see" NTFS partitions.

[jmecor]

i forgot about that. Playing with old DOS games in a NTFS partition is quite tough these days.

x-wing or tie fighter?
I've seen this in kazaa, i don't know if there is a tie fighter only game and a X-wing only game.

[phsstpok]

There are three games X-Wing, Tie Fighter, and X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter.

I'm not sure but I think the last was only released in the X-Wing Collector Series, which contained all three games.

[silverpig]

No, it wasn't. You can get XvT by itself (I did).


There's X-Wing, Tie Fighter, X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter, and X-Wing Alliance in the series.

[Grub]

There is also the Lucas film classics pack that costs five dolloars on Amazon that has all the games...

Scamtron doesn't like my sig...

 

[umheint0]

There is one of each. One Tie Fighter, one X-Wing, and one X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter.

I want to find the X-Wing and the Tie Fighter's Collector's Edition. I need to play those old games on a "newer" engine.

[jmecor]

"newer" engine.

you mean newer hardware.
