JKA crashing on start up.

Problem

When loading the game, the console opens up, and closes, then the game starts, but stays at the Jedi Knight Academy screen for a moment until windows says that it has stopped responding. No error in the openGL console, or anything else. Obviously I have googled the issue but I haven't found anything else with the same issue. I have tried running in different compatibility modes but with no luck, and of course always running as administrator. I am currently planning on putting my 8800GTX to see if that works until the new GTX800 series is released. I just wanted to make sure that the processor and motherboard support the game, and are not to new. If this is the case is there anything to I can do?

 

Thanks,

Enolc

There's always been issues with this game and Intel HD cards. I would put money on the video card, not the processor, being the problem.

Chances are its the extensions string issue.

After switching back to my old 8800GTS (Which has played JKA for a long time...) I still have the same problem. Is there anything I can do?

 

EDIT - Using openJK seems to have fixed the problem

Just to add for future references; if anyone is experiencing issues with JKA (ie: Crashing), using OpenJK will fix the issue 99.9% of the time.
