JK is Back

[Pho3nix]

Thanks for briefing the problems PastramiX, I'll probably buy the pack anyway despite the issues...

 

Music or not, It'll be great to re-experience some JK moments =)

Well ... here is what I've seen with the Steam versions:

- JKII / JA work great

- Jedi Knight - cutscenes are in small-window then flashes back to full-screen. Full save crashes, quick-save is fine. T for Talk doesn't seem to work.

- Dark Forces - controls are a sort of hybrid of old & new with no apparent way to change.

 

Overall ... meh. Dark Forces is solid, but I had just removed the CD install of JK from my netbook since I had gotten this ... and now regret it!

You have to use dosbox to rebind controls. Their forum have a short tut for it.

Thanks for the link ... I had trolled around the Steam forums after my post and saw some similar things.

 

JK / MotS are the really big disappointments to me.

Glad I still have my old disks!

Highest exaltations to Kukulkan; brave hackers made the ultimate sacrifice by fashioning a ddraw wrapper to force 3D acceleration.

 

Drink the anti-aliased elixir from this most holy font, my friends!

Cool, it's good to see the steam releases have garnered some interest and especially some fixes for the problems plaguing JK1 on newer systems. Too bad Lucasarts didn't feel they could have helped us out, but this is just as good.

Well cool, I'll finally be able to play DF again. Some buttwipe stole my original CD of it years ago... and I haven't gotten one since. Ebay burned me when I tried. >:v[
