HELP! Jedi Academy Crashing on Startup

[David_Bowie]

I've installed JK on my laptop (Windows 10, Acer Aspire ES1-512, Intel Celeron N2840, Intel HD Graphics 1790mb Total Memory). (Battlefront II works on High Quality settings)
It crashes constantly, it goes: LucasArts, Jedi Academy....aaand crash.
I've tried, installing OpenJK (it works, but won't go fullscreen), I've also tried replacing OpenAL32.dll and adding the OpenGL32.dll.... running in Compatibility Mode for XP sp1, and still no luck.

It works on Windows 10 without a problem, I've installed it on my PC as well and it runs like a charm, without XP Compatibility

EDIT: I need it for Movie Battles II

Help me  JKHub, you 're my only hope!

Start with admin rights.

[David_Bowie]

I did, Run as Administrator *check*
Still no luck

 

Anything else?

[ent]

Do not use the checkbox. Just right click - Start with admin rights.

[David_Bowie]

Did that too, nothing happening... Still crashes

It crashes when you start MBII or just Jedi Academy?

[David_Bowie]

MBII can't start cause of the launcher (they need to repair the site and add an update), I've reinstalled it with only JA. Updated it to 1.01 replaced OpenAL32.dll added OpenGL32.dll (won't even start with opengl, I had to delete it), ran it in compatibility mode, as admin bla bla. Everything. No sale...
Double click on jasp.exe, starting... LucasArts, Jedi Academy logo, and it crashes...

You should not replace OpenAL32.dll or OpenGL32.dll - what are you even replacing it with?

[David_Bowie]

I downloaded the same files from another site, saying that'll fix it.
I've only replaced OpenAL32 when I add OpenGL it won't even start. So I don't have OpenGL in my GameData folder.
 

I only have openal in the folder

jasp is single player. MBII is the multiplayer mod.

[David_Bowie]

Jamp doesn't work as well, same thing happens

[Raz0r]

Why did you replace OpenAL? With what? You shouldn't replace those files unless you know exactly what they are, and they could be causing problems for you.

 

So, with a clean install directory (i.e. entirely original files, no mods or replacements) try renaming jamp.exe to quake3.exe, and tell me if that works.

If it does, I have an idea of what the problem is and we can progress.

[David_Bowie]

It didn't work. As quake3.exe instead of just crashing, a black (and blank) window appeared with the crash message....

[Raz0r]

Okay, so it's probably not related to the number of OpenGL extensions being reported.

Are you 100% sure all of your drivers are up to date? I know Acer aren't great with this.

[David_Bowie]

I'm sure But just in case, how can I check?


P. S. I saw the openAL replacing thing in this thread http://jkhub.org/topic/6331-windows-10-and-jedi-academy/

P.P.S. I don't have opengl in the JA directory..

 

 

 

EDIT: I tried deleting the whole directory and replacing it with the contents of the JA directory on my PC (it works there). It didn't work. So, maybe there isn't a problem with the files in the directory.
What else could it be, drivers?

[David_Bowie]

anyone?

How long does it take before crashing? Is it delayed by a few seconds, or is it instant?

 

I'm absolutely positive there's a way to capture the console output during launch, but I can't look it up until I get home.

[Raz0r]

^ Run with +set logfile "1"

Instant, the console opens the game starts loading and then it crashes after the jedi academy logo

How do I do that?

[Xycaleth]

I've tried, installing OpenJK (it works, but won't go fullscreen)...

So OpenJK does work? What happens when you try going fullscreen?

I didn't know how to go to fullscreen, It just started in window mode. Is there a way to make it run fullscreen?

[Ramikad]

Should be Setup -> Video -> Full Screen: On.

[David_Bowie]

It worked! MBII also works. But only if I run OpenJK MP and theng go Setup>Mods>MBII

Any tips on making MBII run smoother? I forgot how it goes, something like cg_maxsnaps bla bla something like that

Anyone?
