As some of you have noticed, if you try to play HW on a AMD video card with the recent drivers, the numbers are all messed up if you target something.

I noticed this problem last year but was unable to find a fix, so I never reported it, however when GOG recently put up X-Wing and TIE Fighter for sale, the efforts in those forums to restore the games 3D acceleration to the 98 editions reveal a potential method to fix the game and after some testing I discovered it, so here it is:

Just download and extract to your game installation folder where the EXE's sit and run the game use this ONLY if you have a ATI/AMD card and ONLY if you see the distance numbers all messed up.

Thank you, it worked. However, I needed to leave out atiumdva.dll and only use the other three, with it the game crashed at startup.

Awesome to hear! Enjoy the game.
