Problem with Tie Fighters (FIXED)

[Avarice1987]

I thought it might be related to the Tie Fighter installation on it.

So I uninstalled XWA completely, deleted the registry and deleted the XWA folder in the directory manually. I have a clean installation and the problem still occurs.

I have created 3 videos, where you can see well how one, or in a group except for an experimental TIE the majority does not fire, the 3rd is to see how I fire the lasers but nothing happens.

The TIE Interceptor is not affected by the problem by the way

Hi, we have confirmed this issue and have pulled the 5.6 patch. We are investigating the problem though we are a bit stumped right now...

Please backup your XWA games folder before doing anything to any of the files

You can fix your game by going into the games folder and then into:
Backup\2023-04-22_14.45.36_XWAU 2020 Mega Patch Update 5.6
From there take the Hook_Weapon_Rate.dll file and copy it into the main games folder.
That should fix the issue, would appreciate it if you could confirm this.

This solve the problem, at least for me, thank you very much.

@batuta and @Avarice1987 and anyone else that got the patch quickly.
We have fixed the Update with a slightly older Hook for the moment.

Thanks for spotting the issue so fast

OK, the problem is still there but i dont know if its my installation. All ties are ok except tie experiemental 3 and experimental 4, these ties dont fire laser, if anyone can confirm this, maybe the problem is in my istallation.
Thank you.

Thank you.

Can you confirm this is in a mission and you're not trying to fly them please?

[Ace Antilles]

Plus you are playing XWAU and not TFTC.
There's no reason ties should work and not experimentals.
I won't be able to check until later

[batuta]

Yes its strange for Thais reason i said maybe the problem is me, i dont try to fly them and i can confirm in a mission playing xwaup.
I have yo try a fresh install maybe.

The M4 doesn't have lasers, it's a flying bomb so that's all it does. The M3 I am not sure, it's main armament is supposed to be it's missiles, the OPT does have the HPs but I think they are intentionally disabled in-game.

[Forceflow]

Just double checked, the M3 is not supposed to shoot lasers either even if the OPT does have HPs for it. It's disabled and doesn't shoot lasers in the vanilla version of the game either

It has an optional profile to give it lasers if needed but by default they are hidden

[batuta]

Ok thank you ver much , i didnt know that.

[batuta]

ohhh poor ties the y are defenseless, I have destroyed about 30 of them. they need help give them lasers
