Fighting Steel demo on XP

[O.K.]

Hello

I wanted to make a look at FS and tried a demo. However game seems buggy, I can't use the helm function: every time I try to change course I get CTD. Is this a "normal" behaviour for it or can I resolve the problem somehow?

Hello,

The CTD issue you observed was caused by changes in DirectX a few years after the game came out; we corrected that issue in our (free) Fighting Steel Project for the full game. Please note that we did not have source code for the demo available, so we could not correct it in the demo code.
