Get to menu, but can't start a game

[Talic]

Every time I try to start a new game JK2 crashes.

I reinstalled directx and updated my video drivers.

 

I run Celeron 1 ghz with 512 of ram and tnt2 ultra (ya its old)

 

this is the ending of the text that shows up when it crashes.

I tried reinstalling 4 times as well.

Try to update to the latest DX-8 compatible drivers for your vid card. If they already are the latest try turning off shadows in the video options otherwise all I can reccomend is to....

 

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 read like this...

 

"Quake 3",jk2sp.exe,opengl32.dll

 

Save, and exit. Install the GL drivers using the WGL control panel

 

(it still says quake 3 in the game box, but it will really work for jedi knight).
