Something has happened to my JKA game....

Has anyone encountered this before...? And JK2 was the same....

It means your video card is failing, or your drivers are broken, or both.

Is this on a vanilla copy of jamp.exe? It could also be that.

It's on SP, Eez....

It's on SP, Eez....

Ok. Is it on a vanilla copy of jasp.exe?

See, here's what happened:

 

I opened up JKA Enhanced, noticed it was running VERY slowly. When I opened up Vanilla SP, it showed the error. But ONLY JK2 and JKA were having this problem. I tested it with my other Steam Games such as TFUII and they ran FINE! Only JK2 and JKA had this problem. O.o Also, the games were running okay yesterday. Which I'm betting...they're corrupt.

First thing to do here, is to completely uninstall your JK games. That also means deleting your JK folders on your hard drive and removing any files left behind, for a clean re-installation. (Make sure you've backed up your saved files or anything you want to keep) and then restart your system and install the game's again. It might also be worth looking at your video card drivers and making sure that they're upto-date. I ALWAYS check my drivers, at least once a week.

 

Try and launch your game and come back with the results.

Actually....I installed this. https://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop/legacy?product=legacy3&os=Windows+10+-+64

 

I had to revert my card to an earlier version and now everything is running fine....Strangely enough, now my mods are working on my STEAM version now too.

 

Story of the day = I gotta upgrade my video card, cause it sucks dick.

I recommend waiting for the RX 480 to come out - starting price $249. If you can't wait, hit up http://gpushack.com for a cheap refurb.

 

That being said, I'm pretty sure any modern CPU's integrated graphics should be good enough for JKA.

Already got some recommendations from an expert, but thanks for the suggestions, man.
