- A demo is available.
Version differences
- The original 1993 release came on 5 floppy disks and ran at 320x200 resolution. This is also the only release for which the expansions are available separately.
- The 1995 Collectors CD-ROM release came on a single CD and featured an upgraded game engine based on Star Wars: TIE Fighter, with support for gouraud-shading. This version also includes voiceovers for several characters in the game.
- The 1998 version from the Collector Series release (bundle of X-Wing and TIE Fighter) is an official port to the Star Wars: X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter engine and is therefore Windows-native. The game now includes 3D acceleration support (Direct3D), the use of proper textures instead of primitive gouraud-shading and completely redone concourse graphics. The iMUSE dynamic music system was removed in favor of conventional Redbook CD audio tracks. Furthermore, this version requires a joystick/gamepad and cannot be played with the mouse unless a joystick emulation program such as vJoy is used. The problems and fixes in this article mostly relate to this version of the game.
- The digital releases of the game include all three aforementioned versions.

Localizations
Issues fixed
- These mostly refer to the Windows-native 1998 Collector Series release.
Game installer won't run under 64-bit versions of Windows
The installer is 16-bit and does not work by default on 64-bit systems.
Game doesn't run on modern versions of Windows
Run the game directly from XWING95.EXE instead of the menu.
Sound is crackling or distorted in Windows Vista, 7
Configure ALchemy
|
If running a Creative sound card and ALchemy software installed try adding the following to it:
**RegPath=HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\LucasArts Entertainment Company LLC\TIE95\1.0\Install Path
**Buffers=5
**Duration=10
|
Cockpit flashes rapidly while flying
Objects/textures disappear when moving the ship around in hardware accelerated mode
Use XWAHacker
|
- Download Reimars XWAHacker and extract it to
<path-to-game> .
- Run
xwing95fixedclear.bat as administrator.
|
Colors are wrong
- See DirectDraw troubleshooting for solutions.
Capital ships and turrets rarely fire their lasers (Collector's CD-ROM Edition)
- This happens if running the 1995 DOS version in DOSBox. The firing rate seems to work opposite to the game speed (more cycles means less laser fire).
Change DOSBox cycles to approx. 30000[citation needed]
