Jaden_Korr Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Hey everybody, Jaden Korr here, as you can tell I'm a fan of JA, ^_^ Anyway, I have a question I was hoping you could solve for me. Someone, anyway. I've enjoyed Jedi Academy on different machines nearly since it's release, without problem. However, on my Toshiba Satellite laptop, it wouldn't install. It gave me the dreaded CRC redundancy error. After poking around for a while, find out that ALL the assets from my original CD, save for asset0.pk3, are corrupt. Naturally, this isn't good. But I thought since I bought the game legally, I could go ahead and poke around for replacement files. Which I did. Using a combo of that and a file-repairing software, I managed to make .isos of my two CDs, which I promptly moved to my HD to prevent further damage. After installing the game, I was ready to join a server and start swinging away. Of course this didn't work. I got this error: "VM_create on UI failed" or something similar...I'm not on my home computer so I don't remember. After looking around the 'Net and on here, I've found a couple of solutions: Run as admin, run in compatibility mode, clear out all mods (which I don't have) reinstall from CD (which I can't do)... So am I just SOL? Or is there some workaround that I can conjure up that'll make my beloved JA work again? Thanks for you help in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acdcfanbill Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 contact lucasarts they should be able to get you replacement discs for a small fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaden_Korr Posted February 24, 2010 Author Share Posted February 24, 2010 Hey all right, thanks much. As long as I have your attention, could I possibly get an answer to a second question I have? Maybe ordering new discs would cover this, although I'm not sure--in the singleplayer mode, I can't cycle through stances. It'll get stuck on "Tavion's fast" stance and then no more. Is it because my game's not patched? I just have the 1.00 version off the CD.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acdcfanbill Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Hrm. Well you only start with one stance I believe, than gain more as the game goes on, but the fact that yours says "tavion's fast" makes me think you are using some kind of mod that changes your default stances. When you first start JA you should have Medium which is yellow. Later you get a choice of either Fast (blue) or Strong (red). For your third choice way later in the game you can either get the other single saber stance you didn't before, or take a different type of lightsaber.

Jaden_Korr Posted February 25, 2010 Author Share Posted February 25, 2010 Okay...so you saw my other thread. Heh... Sorry for posting that. In retrospect, not my smartest decision. No, I'm not using a mod. And I wasn't in the event that shall not be named, either. I was using console commands. Setforceall 1138 for fun, and then when I didn't want to screw up the SP menus, saberall or saberoffense, I can't remember, I set that to like 10 or something. Gives you 7 stances in the SP game...when they work. But like I said, for the official install, it's jamming once I cycle through once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acdcfanbill Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Ah well, then that's probably why you have weird stances. No idea if there's any fixing that from a savegame, try starting over and not using the cheats. Also, there are only 3 levels for each force power, so setforceall 3 is all you need to get the max for each one, 2 obviously being the 2nd level for each and so on.

Jaden_Korr Posted February 25, 2010 Author Share Posted February 25, 2010 Found the solution. Turns out I was wrong...did LucasArts ever release a pre-patched version of JA on CD? Because I have version 1.0.1.0 off the CD, and then the other version is 0.0.6.6 or something like that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acdcfanbill Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 yea, the original CD releases were 1.0, and then after the 1.01 patch, there was another printing of CD's that were the 1.01 version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
