TarzanBoy Posted April 16, 2002 Share Posted April 16, 2002 Was over at my pal's house today trying to figure out what was causing his JK to crash. It crashed in the normal two spots: 1. after the artus_topside cutscene when you are about to fight Desann 2. In Yavin temple when you walk into the room to first encounter Luke Skywalker and he draws his light saber After messing around awhile and not getting anywhere, I decided to mess around and use some of the cheats. So, while playing one of the levels, I used the npc spawn command from the console to create another Jan Ors - no problem. Then I used the npc spawn to create a few stormtroopers - no problem I summon a Lando - again, no problem I summon Luke Skywalker - Instant crash! I did a hard boot of the system (reset button) and tried summoning just Luke this time. Again, the game crashed. The same exact thing also happenswhen I summon Desann. Can anyone shed some light on this for me? Why should Luke and Desann crash the single player game? I also tried summoning the jedi trainer. The first time I summoned him, there wasn't a problem. The second time I summoned him and tried to shoot him... the game crashed right as he pulled his light saber out to deflect the shot. So, it is something about npc's with light sabers that make the game crash. I don't know how to fix... but it doens't seem immediately obvious to me how video drivers would cause this problem.

NoodlyGod Posted April 16, 2002 Share Posted April 16, 2002 Not obvious, but it doesn't hurt to get the latest and give them a try. I'd also try re-installing the game or installing from a copy on your hard drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteChedda Posted April 16, 2002 Share Posted April 16, 2002 Hmm, odd, what effects would be used on the saber, well try turning shadows to simple or off, and dynamic lighting off and see if that helps, actually try setting the video options to fastest maybe and see. It might be an issue with somthing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvoSix Posted April 16, 2002 Share Posted April 16, 2002 I get that all the time.... I can't run the game without REBOOTING every five minutes. Jk2gamex86.dll crashes as well as other games, RTCW and MOHAA. I think its the Nvidia drivers for my Gf4. Its not XP cuz i reinstalled Win2K and it crashed as well. So far i'm running Detonators 27.42 on XP. It runs a bit longer if i turn on V-Sync. Anybody have a solution to this? 28.32 Detonators run even worse.

TarzanBoy Posted April 16, 2002 Author Share Posted April 16, 2002 .... I'd also try re-installing the game or installing from a copy on your hard drive. Noodlygod, you are a bonafide genius! I (begrugdgingly and skeptically) backed up my save-games, and uninstalled JKO. Then I copied the cd to my hard drive and installed JKO from the hard drive. The first thing I did was restore the save point that first crashed my system... and voila... NO CRASH. Jedi academy: NO CRASH. I am very relieved... having this game work (properly) is a load off. I wll be sure to suggest this in a new post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoodlyGod Posted April 17, 2002 Share Posted April 17, 2002 Glad I could help =) Do you ever have any problems with other games of a similar or larger size? And it could have been just a one time thing, if you ever have to re-install again I'd use the cd just to see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
