I bought today XWA from Steam and wished to replay it, as I remember enjoying the original game very much.
However, this was stunted by constant crashes whenever I try to start a tour of duty mission. When I start the game, an error message stating '"To setup the dinput hook" is not correctly initialized'. If I click away the error dialog, the game starts, and I can get as far as the mission loading screen, but then the game crashes without error message. Skirmish missions seem to work properly (based on one try).
I'm running the Steam version of the XWA, with the XWAUCP 1.6 installed, the XWA hooks setup installed and the newest container pack (per the advice in this thread). I faced the same issues also directly after installing the game from Steam and before installing the container upgrade.
I am running the game on a Lenovo Legion Y730 on Windows 10.
I would be very grateful for any advice on how to get the game to run.
