not a JPEG file

Recommended Posts

When i load up the game it works fine, i go to new game, select difficulty lvl, and hit Begin game, it goes to the lightsaber picture/design and then crashes to desktop and says Not a JPEG file: starts with 0xdc 0x9c

 

this is what the sceen says that first appears when loading:

 

ICARUS version : 1.33

-----------------------------------

RE_RegisterModel: unknown fileid for models/weapons2/blaster_r/blaster_w.glm

Couldn't find image for shader [nomaterial]

Not a JPEG file: starts with 0xdc 0x9c

 

 

 

also, when installing the game, my CD rom stoped loading the game up, does the same thing when i install Diablo 2, it starts whirring really fast then stops, and does that over and over again, but never loads/reads anything, so i ejected the CD, then put it back in and it went back to loading.

 

any help is greatly appriciated.

To fix your jpeg prob...

 

Since I last left you, I tried all the safe reinstall things, both from drive and disk, and no help, and went back to Walmart and exchanged the game...(They were very courteous, I had no receipt, yet no probs...)

 

I reinstalled the game, and same probs...

 

SO...

 

I uninstalled both the game and video driver...Went in to the registry and removed all traces of both...

 

DEFRAGGED my drive and ran CLEANUP on my drive...

 

installed the driver...

 

installed the game...

 

No problems whatsoever...

 

So what it looks to be is that Jedi Outcast must need a pretty clean, defragged drive to install on...in past installs, I would get long 1-2 minutes pauses at various points - 29 percent, 38, percent, etc...

 

After the defrag, was a clean sweep with barely a pause, and when it did, was just a few seconds...

 

Try this out, and see if it helps for you...Make sure to post your outcomes here, as this could help for many users...

 

GOOD LUCK, and MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU...
