I was able to launch the game directly through steam, versus through the xwingalliance launcher by changing the names of the. Hello again - I did some further tinkering. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get my controller to be recognized and working again? I receive an invalid parameters error message when trying to launch a mission that requires a ctrl+alt+del and end task. I tried using the ddraw file I linked above, but it appears to be incompatible with the latest patched version. Since installing the XWAUP the game does not read any type of joystick (shows no joystick buttons in the game controller menu) and as a result, I cannot fly my ship during missions, it just spins out of control. Secondarily, I had downloaded this version of ddraw ( ) in order to enable keyboard and mouse support in lieu of a joystick in order for my XBOX 360 controller to properly emulate a Keyboard and mouse via Joy2Key. I had installed Joy2Key and made a profile in order to map my controls the way I wanted them. I used to play on the original version 2.02 of the game via Steam with my XBOX 360 Controller. I recently installed the XWA Upgrade 1.6 and then the day 1 patch 1.0.
