Crow_Nest Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 Are you sure you have the legit version of the game? Because there is says "Jedi Academy CD1" while mine says "JEDIACAD_1" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumor Posted February 19, 2004 Author Share Posted February 19, 2004 i renamed my cd. that and i made like four backups. none of them work. (with either name) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Plant Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 This happened to me as well. I don't know if this would fix it but I just inserted disk 2, and then swapped it with disk 1. Hope this works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amidala from Chop Shop Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 I think you have to have the disk in the same drive it was originally installed from. Here is the key from Windows Registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\LucasArts\Star Wars Jedi Knight Jedi Academy\1.0 Name: CDPath Type: REG_SZ Data: <drive game was installed from> Either put the disk in the drive you installed from, or edit the Registry to change the CDPath value.

Andy867 Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 If you look at the bottom right corner on the back of the JA Box, it specifically says NOTICE: This game contains technology that is intended to prevent copying. so looks like you have to use the original.

Alegis Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 that notice is just a little warning, i tried backups at first which would give me the "insert cd" thingy, but with cd backups on the hard disk (alcahol and daemon tools) it works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 I own the legit version of the game. The cloned copy of it I made only works for Multiplayer. For Single Player I have to have the original disc 1 in the drive to play. If you're using a cd crack or shall we say "warez" version you downloaded in order to have a backup (I'll give you the benefit of the doubt) that's not good enough. But for MP play, a cloned (1:1 copy of disc 1 original) should be fine. Otherwise I guess try reinstalling (from the original discs) and then apply the patch and see what happens.

I've only had my original out of the case twice. 1. to rip it with alcohol, and this second time to install. I do not use nocd cracks. i rip an image to my harddrive. It worked throughout my time playing ja competitively. It worked for SP as well. Now, since i formatted alcohol refuses to rip, therefore i have to use the physical discs.

Kurgan Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 I can't say about ripping or Alcohol 120%, but Clone CD makes a pretty good copy of CD1. However, due to the copy protection it still isn't good enough to play SP (but should be fine for MP). Once you've installed the game from the original CD try that. Anyway, that's what worked for me.

lukeskywalker1 Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 I thought everone knew your CD has to be called the same thing as the original. I know because a year ago, i made a backup of JK2, and called the CD JK2BackupCD, and tried to play, and it didnt work, i renamed it jediknight2 (or whatever the CD is called) and it worked fine. A little slower (prolly the burn speed) but still... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurgan Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 Boys, don't fight. At least not here on our forums (how about in the game?). Flamewars solve nothing (except to make those involved in them appear childish). And what are you doing back so soon after you were banned AxVegeta? We don't hand those out just to be cute you know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Break_dF Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 Originally posted by Kurgan We don't hand those out just to be cute you know... Just curious here.. have you personally ever banned me? I think this is my 4th go-around on lf and I can't remember if you've actually ever banned me or not. But, I always thought it was kind of cute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumor Posted February 23, 2004 Author Share Posted February 23, 2004 Originally posted by |GG|Crow_Nest I thought once ur banned you cant re-regester? All the ban link does is deactivate the account. If they want something like that then they have to ip, range, or hostmask ban the person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy867 Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 Ok, APPARENTLY, neither of you are smart enough to listen to Kurgan about stopping the flaming and pointless bickering, so I took the liberty of closing this thread, in which case, it will be soon forgotten and then archived and then eventually deleted. etc. ~Thread Closed~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
