In Windows 10 also 3D graphic rendering part needs to be handled.ģdfx Interactive was a company headquartered in San Jose, California, founded in 1994, that specialized in the manufacturing of 3D graphics processing units, and later, graphics cards. Running the game in Windows 98 virtual box is not going to work. Apparently installation failed because there is no reason for my computer to have a very old graphics card from 1990s. This is what I got, when I clicked ‘Install 3Dfx Drivers’,įrom this one can see that these are very old drivers. I tried going through the process in Windows 98 in virtual box. This button will not work in Windows 10 anyway. If you look carefully, there is another button ‘Install 3Dfx Drivers’. This means this game was intended to run in Windows 95 computers. The game will not run on Windows 10 machine even after following above steps for the following interesting reason. It seems installing Direct Play is the most important part here. The above is a screenshot I took after getting JSF working on my computer. This installation might not work properly, but for the purpose of running the game, having half of the stuff is enough.
When you click Install Microsoft DirectX5.0 button, something like this will pop up. This can be easily found through google search.Īfter installing Direct Play make sure to Restart the computer to get the exe file working. If your computer has not enabled Direct Play, try to enable Direct Play in the windows system.
Direct play is very important for the execution of the game. In the next step, when you try to Run Joint Strike Fighter, Windows 10 will require you to download and install Direct Play. The total installation size will not exceed 150MBs. Go through simple installation workflow to get the JSF game installed in the computer. This has been done for the purpose of copyright protection.įor the first time, ‘Run Joint Strike Fighter’ button will be ‘Install Joint Strike Fighter’. Make sure to keep this mounted as a drive, whenever running the game. After downloading the 604MB file, there will be two files available in the download folder.
