Problem to play Jedi Academy.
 

Hello,


After many months without play Jedi Academy, I reinstall him but when I try to enter in the game, the console opens then a black screen and then back to the desktop. :(

I have a GeForce 2 MX, but I don't believe that is the problem because I have played with this same video card before.

Someone knows how can I resolve this problem :confused:

.Sorry my english. :)

Re: Problem to play Jedi Academy.
 

You say it does this just after you install? You haven't tried to add any mods are anything?

The best advice I can give is to patch it and see if that helps. Other than that, I stick to to my position of knowing nothing of hardware.

Re: Problem to play Jedi Academy.
 

I didn't install any mod.

I have installed the official patch but the problem continue

Re: Problem to play Jedi Academy.
 

Does your computer meet all the system requirements? I know that's kinda an obvios question but sometimes that's it.

Re: Problem to play Jedi Academy.
 

It sounds like your computer can't handle the game, either because of a error or technical problem.

I'd try reinstalling it, if that doesn't help then I'd check to make sure it meets the system requirements.

I had a game do that once to me, it was because my graphics card was to old.

Good Luck,

My PC support run the game. The prove of this is that I played this game before(many months ago) with this same PC.

Re: Problem to play Jedi Academy.
 

mabye you intalled another game or something that might be making the problem

sometimes the game needs extra harddisc space to play the game
like it says something like "500mb requied (550mb recomended)" you might want to see how much free space you have on your computer

hello i maybe a newbie but i hav had this problem also hav u tried going into your play drive and clicking on jasp . jedi academy single player? if so does could not load default cfg. come up? if this is what happens . i will reply 2 u on the matter.

Re: Problem to play Jedi Academy.
 

Yes, I did and I got the same problem. :(

Do u know a solution??? :)

Re: Problem to play Jedi Academy.
 

This would be my guess as well. If you have any other games that run on the same engine (or something similar) you may want to try systemically taking them off your system and seeing if JA will load. If you do this one program at a time and this is indeed the problem, you will find which program it is that interferes with JA. The solution then is to only have one loaded at a time on your harddrive.

Also, occasionally a new game comes with a newer version of DirectX, although I don't imagine that shoul cause a conflict with JA. However, if you've updated your video drivers between now and when the game worked, you may be onto something there as well.

i had this problem for many months and activision were useless , until 1 day by chance i reinstalled the game and after tht copied and pasted the gamedata folder into program files in my c: drive from the disc with all the assets included thn pasted them into the base folder.. the game worked for the first time in 6 months.

tht day brought a tear 2 my eye!

hope it helps . if not will find another solution 4 ya.:)

Re: Problem to play Jedi Academy.
 

I don't undertand all (sorry my English :) ). After u reinstall(where u installed the game) u copied the game data folder to C:\Program files??

U sad "From de disc with all the assets inclued then past them into the base folder" From what disc??? The "base folder" of the folder that the game was installed or the "base folder" of GameData u past in C:\program files?????

Re: Problem to play Jedi Academy.

Re: Problem to play Jedi Academy.
 

That means you do not have a gfx card with 3d accelerator, you can download a software that emulates 3d accelaration from http://www.scitechsoft.com/products/ent/gld_home.php

Re: Problem to play Jedi Academy.
 

I´ve the same problem that is described in the original topic, I´ll try the solution presented by Master Shi-joh, and then I´ll post here to say the results
Sorry for the terrible english, and Gui Saranida

Re: Problem to play Jedi Academy.
 

i have been curretly experiencin the same as the origional problem. After reading through the thread and tryin the numerous solutions suggested , almost none have worked. The one way i could get the game to run was to download SciTech GLDirect 5.0 which was mentioned previously. Another problem then occured as it was a demo version (SciTech) after a certain time on the game the words demo version become pasted on the screen making it unplayable. Is there any other versions freely downloadable? Or is there a better solution which i have overlooked?

Re: Problem to play Jedi Academy.
 

Buy the software (gldirect), it is cheaper than buying a new gfx card.

Re: Problem to play Jedi Academy.
 

I have a similar problem, but i use a mac.
It says:


Jedi Academy Could Not Continue

Couldn't load default.cfg

Re: Problem to play Jedi Academy.
 

Jeez! I`ve seen people bumping old threads, but to bump something THAT old... :cort: Please don`t do that anymore. Make new thread next time.

Have you tried reinstalling the game?

Re: Problem to play Jedi Academy.
 

look, it's my first post, i didn't know it was old. i just googled it because i needed to fix the problem. im new to this forum. sorry. and yes i reinstalled several times.

Re: Problem to play Jedi Academy.
 

You didn`t see the date? Year 2005.? :cort:

When you uninstalled the game, did you remove all residual files and folders before installing it again? If you added anything to your GameData/Base folder (some .pk3 file for example), you need to remove it yourself because uninstaller removes only game`s default files and folders. And something could be causing this problem.
