Looking into upgrading my computer very soon. I play this a lot. Will it work on Windows 8?

[Demodulated]

Yes, the game runs perfectly for me on Windows 8.1.1 on my desktop PC. However, you'll need to edit some files to get it to run in the resolution of your choice (just like you have to do in Windows 7).

Sounds good, thanks

Hello, how can I run Jedi Academy on my Windows 8? There is an Open GL problem and I cant move on, thank you...

[Demodulated]

What's the problem? I just tried the game right now and it works for me.

Did you try to customize your resolution? It looks like that's the problem. Try deleting ...\jedi academy\gamedata\base\jaconfig.cfg and verifying your game cache to see if that fixes it.

[matuskapeter100]

Oh I just found the problem, it works now... Thank you anyway

[Demodulated]

What was the problem?

[matuskapeter100]

I only had to copy the openGL32.dll file to the game data file

[matuskapeter100]

I mean game data folder

[peepo]

Hey Demodulated, I'm probably going to add you so that if I have any issues running on WIN 8 I can ask you about it. Picking up a custom PC very soon. I currently run the game on my Mac with Wine.

[Demodulated]

I don't usually add just anyone on Steam but you're an audio engineer so okay! :)

[bringinthewoody]

If anyone can help, I have Windows 8, just bought the Jedi Knight Collection the other day, and it won't run Jedi Outcast or Jedi Academy - it has no specific error message, just "Program has stopped working, Windows is looking for the problem" message that pops up all the time when something crashes. I've tried looking up solutions in other places to no avail. Anybody else had this problem or can help?

Much thanks.

^ see this is what I'm scared of
