Help!

Post by Delmi N'jork »

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!

You don't by chance have JA through Steam?
As for that error, sadly it seems to be a reoccurring issue with each new version of JA.. have you installed it and tried to run it with just the default files and the 1.0.1 update?

@Illrian Running it traditionally. I've tried 1.00 and 1.01, still get that same error. I've tried to update my video card driver with no such luck. Running out of options :(

@Amoné Both SP and MP yield the same error.

Hm, and I can assume you've tried all the various compatibility options?
Have you checked this topic?

Yeah, sadly I've already tried all of that. The original post states that he could get to the MP menu, I don't even get that far.

Open your task manager. You might have an instance of it running...

It happens to me when I launch JKA twice on the same computer. Also, try to launch it with "Execute as an administrator", it might work.

@Azra I did at first and I thought that was the issue as well. But upon killing the process and still getting the error, sadly I don't think that's the true root of the problem.

@Herenai I thought that would help as well, since that's what fixed the problem with running JKA on Windows 7 for me. But no such luck on with Windows 8 :(

That's incredibly odd, I'm running JKA on W8 Pro x64 and I have no compatibility issues whatsoever. Are all drivers installed, including the latest DirectX?

Yes, drivers are up to date. I had absolutely no problem playing on this laptop when it had 7, so I know the hardware can handle it.
