You may have the 1.0 version of the game.  There is a patch on this site to upgrade to 1.2.

A way to check to see if you have 1.0 or 1.2 is to look into GameData folder and see if there is a file called TAT3.  If it exists, you have 1.2.  If it is not there, you have 1.0.

Not sure why I have acrobat in there...perhaps I had a bad drag and drop.

DirectX missing is a bigger concern.  On your installation of your game, it should have asked if you wanted it installed. 
=======> try to reinstall the game and see if it prompts you for DirectX installation


I would also like to see the file names of your installation.  If you are comfortable using a Command Window
=======> open a windows command windows in the Star Wars Battlefront folder
=======> run this command and the prompt:  dir /s > filelist.txt
=======> compress (zip) and upload this file to this this thread

If you want to try it, my directX folder is here:  https://www.swbfgamers.com/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=1677
run the directX install program then run your game.  Not sure this would work.

Find the Folder "Star Wars Battlefront"  that was created when you installed the game from the CD.  It is probably is something like windows x86, LucasArts, or something like that.

It should look like the first image.  Copy the entire folder to a new computer and place it in C:\ or somewhere similar that is not too deep into folders.

When you go to run the game, do not use LaunchBF.exe; instead open the folder GameData.

In that folder you will find Battlefront.exe. Use the attachment I have to this post (extract it from the zip file) and replace your Battlefront.exe with this one.  (It is a no-cd patch).

Start the game by double clicking on Battlefront.exe in this folder.

I will share a screen shot of my folder but there are extra files in there.  You will not have so many exe files.

Thanks for the videos and screen shots.  Hard to tell right now if this is a video card/graphics issue or a game issue.

Do you have access to another computer?  You can copy the entire game folder over to another computer (no need to use the install disks) and see if it works there.

Let me know if you can do that and what happens.

I see you use a laptop, can you determine what kind of video card you have?

This might help:  www.hwinfo.com

That does not look like it has been installed.  Perhaps I should have stated:  post a screen shot of the folder in which the game has been installed.

can you post a screen shot of your install folder contents?  an welcome!

Quote from: Marcus_Clate on March 03, 2026, 11:06:05 AMI believe mastering movement and positioning is key to dominating in SWBF. Are we really pushing ourselves to learn every map's secret spots and shortcuts, or are we just sticking to familiar routines? How much could our gameplay improve if we embraced the challenge of exploring every corner and experimenting with new tactics?

looks spammy

 

yeah, all gobbledygook

welcome to the site 

It would seem to me that you have over-written certain sounds.  I don't have the expertise, but you would need to get the sound files, rename them, and then remunge them.  Even then, I'm not sure.
