Game not running whatsoever

[s0rcer0r]

I just bought the five game deal and got all jedi knight games, however Dark Forces II and Mysteries of the sith both won't run. I will select play, it will open the "starting Star Wars Jedi Knight Dark Forces II" then won't play.. Help would be amazing:/

Same, not running at all. Windows 10 with a GeForce 980 Ti Hybrid 6GB VRAM. Compatability windows 98, 256 colors, run as admin. Nothing. I have three friends over and we've worked out all their problems but I cannot get this mofo to run!

This worked for me... get's the game running at least. It's 95% playable. I'm just still having a problem with tearing and VSync not working.

--- instructions ---
Download dgVoodoo and extract DDRAW.dll, D3DIMM.dll (and dgVoodooSetup.exe) to the game directory.

Then run the game exe directly, don't use the Steam client and the game won't launch in a window.

Starting the exe will only work if you have a steam_appid.txt with the game's id inside in the game folder. (Sometimes Steam creates this file on it's own, sometimes you have to do it manually with Notepad)

The id for Jk is
32380
and for MotS it's
32390

BTW the steam_appid.txt thing applies to a lot of Steam games. You can find the id in the link to the game's forum or store page.

Okay, doing the above worked pefectly for me now. The game plays wonderfully. I found, strangely, that I can get rid of the screen tearing (getting VSync) to work by simply Alt-Tabbing out of the game once the mission starts, and then Alt-Tabbing back in. After that the game plays great.

Small price to pay to play this game.

I get the same in Win8.1; haven't tried the above fix yet. I'm too tired to trust myself to do it right at the moment… but one would think that this would work correctly out of the box.

I mean, I still have the DISCS for this game (and MotS), but I bought a copy (of both) so I'd have it in my Steam inventory.

[Polly Armory]

Actually, I still have the discs for DF, DF2:JK, MotS, XvT, BoP, & XWA, as well as the floppies for the original X-Wing. I have been a Warsie since the mid 80s. Yeah… I actually remember when it was a big deal that someone had the Star Wars movies on VHS or Beta.

Also, quite a number of West End Games SWRPG books. (my first love in pencil & paper RPGs… and I was developing a third edition to it for a while)

Okay, so now I can get the install dialog to come up with Jedi.exe, but it doesn't think it's installed. I try using JK.exe directly, but that doesn't load. I briefly show in-game, but nothing happens and then I go back to online status.

tl;dr the game still doesn't work.

I tired this fix using windows 10 with no success. Jedi Academy will work fine, Dark forces II and mysteries of the Sith will not play at all.

Yes, still not opening at all. Jedi Acadamy works fine but is not as good ;)
