screen is blank

[lalormwork]

Had a look but couldn't see anything in the forum, but when I start JK the screen is blank. I hear music and my character can shoot and walk etc but I can't see anything.
Anyone have a fix for this please?

I had the same problem when I tried to turn on Hardware Acceleration in the display settings. Before going into a mission, go to setup, display, then uncheck the top left box. You'll probably want to choose the highest resolution in the options under it. If the video is still small, then just drag the zoom slider up.

Use dgVoodoo.

unzip to the game directory, rename the jk.exe to the games .exe ie - jediknight.exe and move the older game .exe somewhere else or rename, then run voodoo config from the zipped file you downloaded, select the games folder in options, remove the watermark option - disable steam overlay, game then works with 3D enabled.

Bit of a faff but will get the game running with 3D enabled.

Malwarebytes detects dgvoodoo as malware, is this just a false positive? I'm concerned because the website for this program is very fishy looking.

dgvoodoo is fine. Windows 10 detected it too but it's fine. I've used it on 3 computers and it's a well known program.

Had same issue. Turning off the 3D acceleration helped but... I still do not see the my health, sheild and force bar. Any ideas?
And one more thing Game was working good with 3D acceleration. But one day decide to display black screen while in gameplay. Menu, objectives, cutscenes, sound, triggers and rest works fine, only game part.

I guess you could try ditching dgVoodoo and use JKGFXMod.

It's a wrapper. Basically it translates the game's DirectX 5 graphics output into DirectX 11, improving compatibility with modern operating systems and hardware.

Adjust "View size" in the game's display options.

Nah it translate into Voodoo. The 3dfx API used back in the day as an alternative to its DirectX renderer and software mode.

No, it doesn't. The 3dfx API (Glide) is no longer supported and that's the reason dgVoodoo, nglide and other 3dfx/Glide wrappers were created in the first place or are you still gaming on Voodoo accelerator cards? The author of dgVoodoo added support for older DirectX versions later, as they are also poorly supported nowadays.
