Jedi Academy start up issues

[Delmi]

Hello,

 

I recently installed Jedi Academy on a computer that has Windows 8.  I tried to run in in compatibility mode and as admin, but I still get the following error:

 

 

 

 

Anybody have ideas on a solution?  Cheers!

What's your video card?

[Delmi]

Just a basic ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200.  I had absolutely no problem running JKA when it had 7 on it, so I know for a fact the laptop can run the game.

I've actually come across this problem before bro...I'm trying to remember what the issue was, I think it was something simpler than what everyone else was telling me...Shit, I'll have to think back on it. Have you updated the game? I know it sounds like a stupid question but I've forgotten to do it in the past >.<

[Delmi]

Lol, yeah I updated the game.  I forgot at first...   After nearly a decade of playing the game,  I thought I'd remember to do that.

Try GLDirect (google it). Might have to turn off Catalyst AI also. I know that Doom 3 gave me issues with sikkmod whenever catalyst AI was enabled.

Found it no problem  But I'm kind of nooby when it comes to this stuff.  How do I install/use it?

Heya,

 

I had that kind of problem on Win7 and Win8 with the ATI card too. In the newest drivers AMD have cut old OpenGL driver support for unknown reason. But anyway, I have found the solution: click here, download and then put the .dll in GameData folder (where is jasp and jamp.exe).

It should help.

 

PS: You do not need to turn off ATI Catalyst or Catalyst A.I. with this solution (at least I do not have to ).

Sadly, I'm still getting the same error :/

[Delmi]

^Everything is up to date.  And sadly that fix also didn't do anything.

Alright, thanks for the help anyways!
