Windows 10 and Jedi Academy?

[PeterParker]

Hi everyone, my name is Dan and I'm somewhat new to Jedi Academy, used to play a bunch as soon as a few months/weeks ago on a different PC. I saw there was a Windows 10 Jedi Academy issues thread already but I didn't wanna hijack it.
So here's the issue!
I got a new laptop, and I'm trying to use to steam to play, but I haven't been able, it gives me an error about opengl etc. I read that I should download something and put it in GameData, which I did, yet that didn't really change much.
I recorded it to understand, along with my video card info.
I have 8gb ram, if that matters.

I read that OpenJK may help but I do not really what I'm to do with it.
Thank you! I really want to get back into Jedi Academy, pretty fun!

Use opengl32.dll from qEffects Pro and play the game on any Windows.

Using OpenJK is easy, just download it here:

 

https://builds.openjk.org/

 

and put all of the assets.pk3 files from Jedi Academy in the OpenJK folder and start the game, should fix any issues you are having.

[PeterParker]

Thanks Sentra, but it didn't work :/
Syko, which OpenJK folder do I put the assets.pk3 in?
Are you saying I go to the base folder and get the assets.pk3 (only 1 there) and bring it to the folder that I download that's called OpenJK or the other way around?

[Sentra]

Thanks Sentra, but it didn't work :/

Strange, cos I have got the same problem recently and opengl32 replacer actually helped me a lot.

Download OpenJK from http://build.openjk.org

Unzip to GameData

Run openjk.x86.exe

 

Easier than Syko's method, and is the recommended way to do it.

[PeterParker]

Yea, not sure Sentra.

Download OpenJK from http://build.openjk.org

Unzip to GameData

Run openjk.x86.exe

Thanks for the reply Raz0r.
I tried that too, didn't work, recorded it to help you understand/share in my suffering.

Really appreciate any help! Any idea what I should/shouldn't be doing?

EDIT: The only file in base is assets3.pk3 btw, pretty sure there should be more but no idea how/why

That might be the problem...

 

here's what you need in your base folder:

• assets0.pk3
• assets1.pk3
• assets2.pk3
• assets3.pk3

To get all of the assets go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Jedi Academy\GameData\base , all of the assets should be in there.

So I was able to get it running, thank you Syko/Raz0r!  Only problem now, everything looks very...odd. I uploaded a video for this too, I think you'll get what I feel. I have an Intel Graphics 5500 card and 8 GB of RAM.

Thanks!

do you have Tetris installed?

[Raz0r]

Unfortunately the very latest build has a quirky bug related to jpeg loading, due to different versions of a library we use.
Hoping to get it sorted today, then you can just redownload the latest OpenJK and it'll work.
You may be able to download a previous build from builds.openjk.org and see if that works. Something before Sep 19th should be good.

 

EDIT: Yep, try this build from the 14th =]

@@Syko: please do not post an illegal link to the game's assets.

[PeterParker]

Ahh it worked, thank you Raz0r! Appreciate the speed and help here
Syko, replaced it as you said, thank you
And yes Kylo, I downloaded the Tetris version of JKA

[Syko]

Glad it worked for you.
