Hello,
To use the mod, you need Windows 7 or superior, .NET framework 4.8, and latest vc runtime:

Does that include the whole mod or just v1.3 because the rest of the mods before the neww one work fine.The only time i have the problem is after installing 1.3.I am running windows 7 and as far as I know am up to date with the rest.Thx for your help.

It's an update needed for v.1.3 and future XWAU. Sadly it's getting to the stage soon where we may have to stop support for Windows 7. :/
Make sure everything Windows wise is updated including the link that Jeremy said.

Otherwise roll back to the light side to try running the XWAU only and see if that works.
Sometimes the installation of TFTC gets corrupted.
Chief XWAU Team annoying nitpicker.

The problem is ddraw.dll. It doesn't work on windows 7, it works only on windows 10. It's because of the "CreateFile2" function.
