I was having all kinds of problems. No Joystick, black screen after intro, laggy menus, choppy controls, camera zoom, etc.
I now have the game running great. I tried nGlide but it would crash after every mission and the game didn't look as good (unless I used nGlide tool to increase resolution).
Anyway try this.
Go to your installation folder and complete these steps. I have played 6 missions now and no crashing, joystick is working, game runs smooth. I have tested on two computers with excellent results.
#1 – Open ROGUE.EXE and select D3D and controller (I use Xbox One controller)
#2 – Right Click ROGUE SQUADRON.EXE and go to properties and then to compatibility and set to Win 95
#3 – Run ROGUE SQUADRON.EXE (you will have very slow menus) go to settings and joystick settings and set defaults (all button areas should populate)
#4 – Right Click ROGUE SQUADRON.EXE and go to properties and then to compatibility and turn off compatibility mode
#5 – Create a shortcut to ROGUE SQUADRON.EXE and go to properties and then click advanced and check run as administrator
#6 – Use the shortcut to launch the game
Hope this helps someone.
