Key points
- Joystick / controller is essential for playing the game - without it, the game won't even start.
- Installing on 64-bit systems requires a workaround. See Installing on 64-bit versions of Windows.
- Locked at 30fps.
General information
- Lucasarts file repository
- X-Wing Wiki With lots of useful information
- X-Wing Alliance Upgrade project Community dedicated to replacing every ship in the game with updated models/textures.
Availability
Essential improvements
Patches
Latest official patch
Official font set. Fixes garbled fonts on certain resolutions.
Includes a bunch of .bat-files that make useful tweaks to the game. Requires game to be patched to 2.02 to work.

Anisotropic filtering (AF)
Patch the graphics to 32-bit before forcing AF from the level of graphical drivers. See Widescreen resolution.
Anti-aliasing (AA)
Patch the graphics to 32-bit before forcing AA from the level of graphical drivers. See Widescreen resolution.
- Forcing antialiasing might make in-game fonts distorted, to prevent that, enable "Alternate Pixel Centers" if you have an ATI card. Alternatively, force Supersampling anti-aliasing (SSAA) to resolve font distortion.
Input settings
- To enable Force Feedback on XInput controller, see XInput force feedback vibration in DirectInput games.
Audio settings
Issues unresolved
Can't enable 3d acceleration
- On some configurations it may be impossible to enable 3d acceleration, even though the graphics card supports it. This problem may be solved in a future, with the development of DXGL project.
Issues fixed
