Strange, this is usually an issue with the DOS version emulated in DOSBox. See [url=http://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Star_Wars:_TIE_Fighter#Capital_Ships_and_Space_Stations_rarely_fire_their_Lasers]here[/url]
I suppose that the "Single Processor Affinity" included in the compatibility fix handles this issue for the windows version.

ISDs didn't shoot in the TIE'95 version, which was fixed by a third party patch. Rebel Squadrons should have it.

It is only the Star Destroyers that can't seem to fire. Every other capital ship fires fine.

A multiplayer community for the X-Wing series. Seems the link I had is no longer working though, sorry :(

StyleWan: Which mission ?
All missions. Any mission that holds a Star Destroyer. Only the missile launcher seems to function. I also have this error on my Tie Fighter CD 98 version as well.

Yeah, this error is really annoying because it makes a number of missions a lot harder. Like the mission in which you need to keep ISD Adarga alive against waves of assault transports and TIE-Defenders.

I remember that I played that mission in the 1995 Collector's CD-ROM version. If you were good enough you could even prevent the ship from being destroyed at all. That is completely impossible in the 1998 version since the Adarga just sits there and takes a pounding. :/

Combat Chamber, Tie Fighter Mission Two. Try shooting the ISD Star Destroyer and see if it does anything.

That battle is a pain in the ass because that Star Destroyer Can't defend itself. That is why I wanted the 95 collector's version.

Here is the link for that particular patch.

http://tie.rebelsquadrons.org/patches/t95lp.zip

I'm not sure if it works since I haven't tried it yet.

Sadly, it doesn't seem to recognize GOG version. :(

Wish we knew what they changed in TIE95.exe. Maybe it would be possible to do it manually.

high rated
I created a patch that should be compatible with the GoG version. Would be great if a few people could test it and report back.

(I'm not sure but it's possible you have to apply gerwins 3D Hardware patch first).

Thank you for the patch! :D

I currently do not have a pilot file to replay some of the later missions, so I tried mission 2 of the first battle. I attacked ISD Hammer as soon as it appeared and it opened fire on me with all turrets. Looks like it's working. I didn't install gerwin's 3D hardware patch, btw
