Hey guys,

I'm going slightly mad.

I had the CD version of XWA running silky smooth on my Windows Vista 32 bit install. I then upgraded to Windows 10 and XWA became unplayable with our without the upgrade.

Now I've reverted back to Vista x32 and I'm having difficulties; my Vista 32 SP2 comes with DirectX 10; but XWAUCP 1.3 appears to require DirectX11...am I mistaken here? Every time I try and launch the game following the upgrade I get a message about D3D11.DLL being missing, which I think implies D-X issues.

Just wondering if there's a preferred OS for XWA upgrade.

Thank in advance.

Windows 7 minimum, but if you go upward or go to x64, get the GOG version instead

I got forcibly upgraded to 10 from 7 myself and I use the steam version or alternatively a disk version w/ new installer file and both seem to work fine.
