The installer will automatically search for the folder where you originally installed Jedi Academy and install all of the updates. If the update does not locate Jedi Academy on your system, you may need to reinstall the game from the original CD and then run the JKAcademy1_01.exe.
Notes
This patch is completely compatible with old single player save game files. All Multiplayer users must use Jedi Academy version 1.01.
If you are experiencing low framerate, go into the Setup/More Video section and change dynamic glow to off.
Gravis gamepad users should turn force feedback to off. The current Gravis drivers are not compatible with Jedi Academy and will cause the game to crash.
If you experience hiccupping while playing, especially during light-saber battles, go into the Control, Mouse/Joystick section and set force feedback to "No".
