ZViking Posted April 5, 2002 Share Posted April 5, 2002 I just bought the game and when I launch it either multiplayer or single player, i get a gray screen, which turns white, then it goes black and stays that way. I have no idea what is wrong, and I reinstalled it several times. I only have a DVD-rom drive. my specs are: P3 450 320 RAM GeForce 2 Ti 23.11 drivers What else can i do???

The game was running the first few days, but now it just hangs on the white screen. What is your desktop set at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HC - Exar Kun Posted April 5, 2002 Share Posted April 5, 2002 Try using Wicked GL You can find it here... http://www.wicked3d.com/products/wickedgl/default.htm/ After you install WickedGL and quake3 drivers if nessicary, open Wglgames.cfg in wordpad. Half way down or so you'll see the line "Quake 3",quake3.exe,opengl32.dll DON'T CHANGE THE NAME IN QUOTES. Changing the name will prevent WickedGL's installer from running. Change the line to... "Quake 3",jk2sp.exe,opengl32.dll Save, and exit. Install the GL drivers using the control panel ( It still says Quake 3 in the game box, but it will really work for Jedi Knight Outcast) ------------------------------------ AFTER INSTALLING WICKED GL Also if the sky and the gamma is still messed up then do this... You will need to open the jk2mpconfig.cfg file in Wordpad and change a few numbers. This file is located in: "\Jedi Outcast\GameData\base" To fix the sky, find the line that reads: seta r_fastsky "1" Change the 1 to a 0 and the sky should reappear. Now, to fix the gamma, find the line that reads: seta r_ignorehwgamma "0" Change the 0 to a 1 and the gamma should be normal. Save the file, load JO and you should be good to go.

Rogue9_dlb Posted April 6, 2002 Share Posted April 6, 2002 Isn't WickedGL for Voodoo cards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HC - Exar Kun Posted April 6, 2002 Share Posted April 6, 2002 Yes it is... My mistake.... Glad you caught it.... For Geforce users You may want to try using the Detonator 21.83 WHQL certified drivers For Radeon users try getting a driver set that is up-to-date ( but not the newest ) Or possibly check out getting the newest OpenGL Setup here.... http://www.opengl.org/ The main site is down for a few days but drivers and stuff should still be availible.

Threetall Posted April 6, 2002 Share Posted April 6, 2002 went back many generations of drivers and re-installed each time. No go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue9_dlb Posted April 6, 2002 Share Posted April 6, 2002 Well, changing my desktop color to 16 from 32 seems to have fixed the problem. P.S. how do we get our sigs to show up on our posts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZViking Posted April 7, 2002 Author Share Posted April 7, 2002 same for me. I tried the different generations of drivers. I tried the opengl thing you suggested, but it says my video card isn't supported?? I have a geforce2 Ti 64 mb DDR. Very weird. My only hope is the tech support at this point.

Rogue9_dlb Posted April 8, 2002 Share Posted April 8, 2002 Well, it's still doing it. Changing desktop color, getting the 23.11 drivers and uninstalling/reinstalling hasn't fixed it yet. I'm thinking about giving it to someone at school to see if they have the same problems. If they do, then I know it's most likely the disk and not my computer.

Threetall Posted April 8, 2002 Share Posted April 8, 2002 Just returned it today. I have seen this strategy before and it saves time and money to just return the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZViking Posted April 9, 2002 Author Share Posted April 9, 2002 I already returned it, but it didn't help. I'm still waiting to hear back from Lucasarts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
