Description of Star Wars: Episode I - Racer
It's been said that Star Wars Episode I – The Phantom Menace gave us two good things: Duel of the Fates and the Star Wars Episode I: Racer. Your mileage may vary, of course, but if you enjoy Star Wars and/or racing games, SWEIR has a lot to offer.
There are a multitude of different pod races, each with different specs, looks and feels, and weird aliens to pilot them (unless you choose the game's Mario, Anakin). The courses offer a wide variety of styles, from the recklessly fast circuits to those that offer twists, winds, and hairpin turns, and demand a more precise style of racing. On top of that, the environments are vividly colorful and gorgeous to look at—you might even want to sacrifice a race or two just to explore every nook and cranny of these race tracks.
Perhaps what SWEIR does best is capture the feel of the dangerously fast speeds of pod-racing. The scale is just right, and the blurring kicks in at just the right time, and it evokes that same feeling as watching the scenes from the movie—you're going fast! Maybe too fast... and one wrong move will have you into the wall at hundreds of miles per hour. It's an intense game and well worth checking out for fans of racers, even if you didn't like the Phantom Menace.

Sparky2018-05-300 point
Brilliant. Got it running in Win 10 no problem. Downloaded the ISO and x64 fix. Installed from burned ISO via fix. Only problem, on first try message saying 'create dxgifactory2 could not be found. solution was to rename the dxgi.dll file in the game folder to d3d11.dll. Problem solved, game runs great.

I really want to play this game, but it doesn't work on OS X. A fix would be very appreciated.
Daevrojn2014-12-030 point Mac version
I downloaded this and even got Sheepshaver to work perfectly with OS9, but the file for Racer is just not able to run. I keep coming up against errors and warnings and nothing will run. I downloaded stuffit and Disc Copy and it still won't go. Would love some help.

A game by LucasArts
*Unofficial* MSI Setup v1.0.0.0 by Markus Egger
Installation instructions
Note 1: This setup uses WiX' VolumeLabel functionality which requires the CD to be correctly labelled ('racer100_0
').
Note 2: I only have the German Episode I Racer CD at my disposal so beware of any international issues! The file names, however, look very language-neutral; because of this I'm optimistic that the installer might work fine with English and other versions. Let me know of any problems you may encounter.
Polish and maybe others: As notified by Jacek, I've made some of the files (WAV, TGA et al) optional to install. They were present on my German CD but not on the Polish Classic one. Just take a look at the descriptions and leave 'Extra Files' out if they cannot be found on your CD (abort installation, then reinstall without them).
Note 3: There seems to be a mysterious 'white screen' bug affecting some machines in-game. I can only speculate about the reasons but my gut feeling says that it could be related to nVIDIA drivers. I do have an ATi GPU and never had any problems with old LucasArts games regardless of the Catalyst version I had installed. Jacek, however, is affected by the bug - he has a nVIDIA GPU. You may try the patch from the FTP (see below) but it probably won't help much. Maybe some of you could shed more light on this situation by telling us whether you're affected or not and what GPU/driver you're currently using. Thank you!
Episode 1 Racer Free
Uninstallation note: Seems I presumed too much MSI knowledge from the user base. There is no 'separate' uninstaller; MSIs are self-contained and thus maintained using Control Panel - Add/Remove Programs
. Use ARP
to repair or remove any MSI-based installation. Regarding my setups, search for strings beginning with Star Wars:
. The (un)install capabilities of the LucasArts Launcher or any other uninstall links won't work for obvious reasons!
When removing MSIs, Windows Installer doesn't remove any registry or filesystem items (files, folders) that have not been part of the installation process itself. As a result, pilot files, mods or configuration files may be left behind during uninstallation. This is expected behavior and I don't really want to mess with that because I prefer a defensive approach as well. Just think upgrade packages would delete your pilot files ...
It's up to the user to backup and/or delete these remaining files/folders.
If there is anything that doesn't match the pattern above, tell me. If there's something I can fix, I will.
- Prerequisites - download and install from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/
(refer toAdd/Remove Programs
whether they are already installed on your machine):- Windows Installer 3.1 Redistributable
(not needed for Vista and higher!) - Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86)
(grab the one with the latest Service Pack level - SP1 at the time of this writing;
for this MSI, the x86 redist is obligatory - the x64 redist alone won't work!)
- Windows Installer 3.1 Redistributable
- Create a temporary folder on your hard disk (eg.
C:Racer
) - about 700 MiB free space is needed. - Copy the contents of your Star Wars: Episode I Racer CD to that folder - but beware of the dummy files being part of the copy protection! Just skip/DON'T copy:
installCD.IDX
installRACENABL.DAT
gnomedatawavsMusic
(skip whole folder)
- Let this self-extracting archive extract to that folder (eg.
C:Racer
). - When asked to replace
Setup.exe
, confirm. - There should be 4 new files in your temporary Racer folder:
Instructions.html
(this file; may be deleted at discretion)Setup.exe
(new version)Racer.ico
Episode I Racer.msi
- You may create a folder named
Support
within the temporary folder. - To get a patch for the Windows version (1.01 presumably) you will have to surf to the LucasArts FTP directly:
- ftp://ftp.lucasarts.com/patches/pc/ - English/US
- ftp://ftp.lucasarts.com/patches/pc/International/ - International
SWEP1RCR.EXE
orSWEP1RCR.ZIP
. I would recommend going for the ZIP to avoid any download/CRC errors.
I do not know why but the official LucasArts support area only lists the Mac version of the patch. - As stated above, you may place the VC/MSI redistributables, patch, useful files and the source setup package in the
Support
folder. - Burn the contents of your temporary Racer folder (! - not the folder itself) to a blank CD-R and label it accordingly in the CD burning program of your choice (eg. Nero). The original CD label usually is:
racer100_0
- Use your new 'Installation CD' to install Star Wars: Episode I Racer on your computer by either double-clicking on
Setup.exe
orEpisode I Racer.msi
directly.
- !!! Obligatory: To be on the safe side, use your original Episode I Racer CD for playing from now on. There might be copy protection, missing CD-Audio or stuff like that. Store your new 'Installation CD' in a safe place ;-)
- !!! Obligatory: Please note that your soundcard might not be discovered/available in-game without applying administrative rights!
Please set 'Run as Administrator' compatibility onSWEP1PCR.EXE
(Right-click on EXE, Properties, Compatibility).
XP SP2 compatibility might be useful as well. You could try and do that with the launcher (RACER.EXE
) as well, I haven't tried all working and meaningful combinations. - Note! When applying Administrator compatibility and letting the game run from
C:Program Files (x86)
, the game configuration and player profiles will be saved within the installation folder.
Running without administrative privileges would cause the settings and profiles to be saved within the virtual compatiblity storage folder (see Explorer toolbar while browsing the installation folder). That's called folder redirection as a part of UAC. - A little goodie for Creative Labs ALchemy users:

Duration=10 - Launch/enjoy the game!
